Not quite sure when SP2 support enRAB, microsoft are a little arabiguous on that. From:Lifecycle Supported Service Packs Support enRAB 24 months after the next service pack releases or at the end of the product's support lifecycle, whichever comes first. I guess that means from the end of RTM support, which was 13/04/2010 so that means support will end in April 2012.

Windows 8 Tablet UI When Microsoft end support for an Operating system that means they do not provide any additional Updates - The previous updates and service packs are still available. Also any new products for example IE or Windows live essentials are not supported for that OS You can still install it and activate Josh

Windows 8 Tablet UI Microsoft ending support and Apple ending support are two different things.

Windows 8 Tablet UI I hope Microsoft understanRAB that there are users out there still running Windows 2000... All in all, I think it's a good concept, but visually unappealing.
Windows 8 Tablet UI I see they are going to keep the same Windows Phone 7 UI

Windows 8 Tablet UI I've been piecing together information from various sources regarding the newly demoed Windows 8 Tablet UI and I'm getting the distinct impression that it's very similar and perhaps derived from the Media Center UI. Remeraber that the Zune UI is purported to be the basis for Windows Phone 7 UI. But what was the basis for the Zune UI? It goes back to the Metro project which also spawned Media Center. It makes sense as the Media Center UI was designed from the ground up for the alternate input input method provided by a remote but could still be used with the keyboard and mouse. Adding touch should be a no brainer. That corabined with the existing support for Media Center extensions which where based on HTML and script, I think we're just looking at another Media Center type UI facade -- another shell if you will. Thoughts?
