In short I did follow the Windows 8 development that is going on, but unless I am able to get my hands on it physically I cant really comment what I would like or what not in that.

Also, I did downloaded few releases but I was unable to install it on Vmware Machine or Virtual box. I didnt tried to install it on a Physical machine as MY desktop is dead now and I cant experiment with it on my working system i.e. my Laptop.

I have used every windows starting from Windows 95 to windows server 2008.

I would wait for its first beta release or may be developer preview to check it on again. Right now just keeping an eye on developments using various sources (using feeds) in my Google reader and a bit of twitter etc.
