    Hello all,

    I get quite a lot of press releases for all sorts of things, but today I got one from the Microsoft BUILD conference that's currently taking place in Annaheim. It just so happens that I was looking at an Endgadget preview of it on a Samsung Slate and saw that this is going to be a pretty major departure from Windows as it is now. My internal nerd finds this sort of stuff interesting, so I thought I'd copypasta the press release as some of it's bound to be of interest to you folks too:

He highlighted a reimagined UI, new developer opportunities and a new generation of hardware with “Windows 8.” We invite you to view the keynote, available on-demand video online and utilize the resources below to track all of the updates from BUILD in Anaheim.
