It's more likely that the UI will be based on the Metro look of Windows Phone 7 (cf. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metro_Design_Language http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metro_Design_Language), so I wouldn't judge anything from this screenshot. I think the leaked roadmap from June 2010 was also far more insightful: http://msftkitchen.com/2010/06/windows-8-plans-leaked-numerous-details-revealed.html http://msftkitchen.com/2010/06/windows-8-plans-leaked-numero...
What does HN think of http://allmyapps.com http://allmyapps.com? We launched this application store for Windows in December and we've recently passed the 100K members mark. We want to make the app store experience on PC as seamless as on smartphone, and make sure you never get any third-party software (e.g toolbars & extensions). 1500+ applications are already available for download & install in 1-click, from your browser or our desktop client. The website has a nice list feature to get multiple apps at once, and you can get silent updates for all your apps via the client (opt-in feature). Your feedback is greatly appreciated.
- twodayslate 16y agoI agree. The screenshot given isn't the same direction that MS has been going with their most recent apps. Look at Zune or even Office 2010. allmyapps looks interesting. I like the idea of auto-updating. Just needs some better polishing and some unique apps. Being lightweight is always a plus.
