The 2D Metro-style Windows flag will feature on both Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8, is closest in appearance to Microsoft's original Windows logo introduces in 1985. Both eschew gradients and other colors for a flat and neutral blue appearance.

I get the feeling of "1 step forward, 2 steps back". But in this case 5 steps forward and 6 steps back.

We needed Windows 7.5 with a new floating flag logo.

I'm not surprised, you love every single shit microsoft creates. You are one really die-hard fan, incapable of having your own opinion, different than microsoft's one on every single topic. Anyway, that your problem, not ours.

I just tried Win8 RP yesterday on VirtualBox and really I am sure that I will stick to it...

Now I can surely say most of the Windows 7 & XP users will stick with their current desktop OS.

Dude, its like apple fans simply LOVE everything apple does, even if it is shit, and are willing to pay for it, but that's their problem, not ours.

Btw... the trends in design are going that direction, SIMPLE... and I like this thread, never got to actually see the windows 1.0 logo

I like the 2009 better. though I have to say that I haven't seen the 1.0 logo until now. It really resembles the current one.

I love 2 logo's i.e. 2006 & 2009

2006 because this represents the Win7's Start Button.
&
2009 because it is the best OS itself...

i've always liked longhorn. It was such an awesome concept. Really sad that Microsoft screwed it up (the result of which was Vista) else they wouldn't have to make such big bets like Windows 8.

That Aero glass Windows flag is awesome.

Ah well, in terms of design, the next best thing after Longhorn has got to be Windows 8. Metro is so universal, it works on webpages, on your TV, on your computer, on mobile devices, I think it's pretty neat.

Since we're on this topic, i'll just throw this out here:

That was Microsoft's original idea for ~~Longhorn~~ <ahem> I mean Vista. If you guys have not watched that video before, prepare to get your mind blown!

Looking at the logo years, I'm having a "Back to the Future" moment. 1985 anyone?!

Let's see what the logo of Windows 9 will look like.

We are supposed to see something even worse. LOL

It's actually unbelievable that the same people, who made that great concept back then, are now making Windows 8... Mind blown!
