Window 8 has some unique features such as "kill switch", "Tile based desktop start screen", "Touch panel for touch screen : I-pad's and phones".
All these features are unique and new in Window 8.
As window 8 is specially designed for I-pad's and window phones it doesn't means that window 8 will not provide[edit: link removed] and can not be use on PC's and Laptops.
Window 8 has both Graphical user interface to use and it can use on both I-pad's and PC's as well.

I think Apple might have words to say about that!

I think you mean Tablets.

I guess, it's a bit like calling all vacum cleaners "Hoovers".

lynda.com has an intro to windows 8. I think it's accessible to non-members.

Just tried it out on a laptop with a high end i5 processor and 8gb ram and I have to say it runs great, I might try it on a three year old laptop I've got with 2gb ram and an average amd processor and see how it does. Not tried it on a touch screen but I've got to say that this might be even better than the great os that is windows 7.
