Lol. There's more to it. They've really thought about this. I'm clearly not explaining it very well, though. You'd need to see one of their UX presentations like this one:

It's 1h 30m long, but it's worth watching.

Re: Windows 8 — Finally unveiled!
....have they implemented the old version of MS Paint?
(random question, but its because i dont like the MS Paint on W7)
And, what will be the first exclusive graphic card made specifically for W8? Intel 3.0 perhaps?

The system specs haven't changed, so there won't be exclusive ones. I don't think there's a new version of DirectX.Dr.Cookie Master wrote:And, what will be the first exclusive graphic card made specifically for W8? Intel 3.0 perhaps?
Also, what's wrong with the ribbon and the new brushes in Paint? But there will no doubt be a Metro Paint as well.

Re: Windows 8 — Finally unveiled!
The problem with new Paint is that despite the new brush tools, it's much less user-friendly and a ton of the old tools are either gone or difficult to find. It's better for people who use Paint every now and then just to scribble, but worse for people who actually bother to work with graphics.
It's kind of like the Mac policy of making user interfaces cleaner while actually making them harder to work with.

Re: Windows 8 — Finally unveiled!
Wait...Is paint still a pixel/sprite editor? Or is it like photoshop now?
One of my friends installed it on his macbook pro, I should go pester him.

If Paint supported transparency, it would be great. But I don't think Paint exists to be used professionally, anyway, Okappa.
