Windows 8 will have it's own "App Store"

http://arstechnica.com/microsoft/news/2011/08/microsoft-starts-to-talk-windows-8-all-but-confirms-app-store.ars

Which means compatition for Stream as a store

Just as GFWL is a huge competition to Steam already :lol:MonsieurX

If Valve was smart, they would start designing a Steam based tile for Windows 8 so it would fit nicely in the whole theme.

I feel like I'm the only gamer who sees the potential in the new tile-based desktops.

Yea, but windows store would be more seemless for the user, thru MS didnt said anything of publishing rules, i think this is key thing to attract publishers to actully place there products there, if it's gonna be similar to Apple's App Store it might be more attractive for them (thru i dont know Steam publishing rules :p)

Windows 8 will be a flop, 7 in the new XP

What are you thoughts on it? I mean as far what do you think it could be used for?

I thinking people are confusing the windows 8 tablet OS to the windows 8 PC OS

Your logic is sound and reasonable as you've clearly shown an infalliable pattern.... except for missing out on Windows ME, Windows XP MCE, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Home Server 2011, and Windows XP 64 (which runs on Windows Server 2003).

They are one and the same.

each will look different, Windows PC won't look like a windows phone. but it should still have the same basic look as it always had

I'm glad they don't seem to be half-assing this. If you go tile, do it fully ad do it well. I'd still personally prefer the old school windows look, and I would never use half of the tiles they want to be default, but Windows 8 is growing on me. If they make this less resource intensive compared to Windows 7, I'll give Windows 8 a try.

I always thought what they showed was just for tablets only, but I know that if there isnt the basic interface that all windows OS had, it will fail like windows vista, because a big part of sales comes froms buisnesses and schools.

Ehh... Windows 8 will flop for the fact that people are still migrating over to Windows 7, they aren't gonna hop over again unless they need to. Microsoft doesn't seem to grasp that most people, especially businesses don't exactly enjoy migrating operating systems every few years.

PC gamers for the most part aren't gonna migrate either unless there's some kind of shift within PC gaming that requires it.

every time microsoft trys to push gaming in windows they fail hard
