yes - they are apparently going to have a left-side 'widget' area [in same way they have notification area on the right] and this will include feeds and a lot of other stuff that I will probably kill 'cos that is not what i use a desktop for

the default start menu position will now be in the centre of the 'taskbar' [this config can be changed though]

they are going to enable mobile apps to run in windows though to what extent, and how secure they will be remains to be seen; this could actually be useful if it is well implemented

it also prompted me to review what a mac pro would cost me: incuding monitor best part of $10,000 to the spec I would want

just off to check that lottery ticket.....
