Windows 8 has been turning heads, since quite some time, with its tile themed Metro interface. It looked appealing in all the available developer builds and has been a fresh change from all their earlier interfaces; but will Microsoft be able to get the right balance between appearance and functionality? We’ll have to just wait and watch.
