Windows Blue in the Wild - Still in Beta (kinda)

Arstechnica has posted a quick write up of what can be found in the leaked Windows 8 "Blue".  If memory serves "blue" will evetnually be subscription based and will very likely nickel and dime you to death while also failing to run any existing applications

Over the weekend, a build of the software with a date of March 15 leaked onto the Internet, at last giving people the opportunity to see what Blue would contain.

The big news is... Windows Blue looks an awful lot like Windows 8, which is consistent with its likely position as an update to Windows 8. Those hoping that Microsoft would abandon the Metro environment will be disappointed.

No suprise there, a major company like Microsoft isn't going to change the company branding and then revert back the single thing that caused the change.  I'll need to eventually blog about the new Microsoft world and what the future holds for us all.

Assuming the masses continue to sheepishly gobble up everything Microsoft dishes out.
