Why is Win8 any more closed than any other version of Windows?
Well, it will have an apps store, and you will be prevented from
multi-boot installs. How's that for a starter?
I don't know if the app-store will be the only way to install Metro apps, but
doesn't the "open" Android have an App store also?
I am multi-booting Windows 8 with Windows 7 on my PC right now, so I'm not sure
what you mean by this. Not so easy to multi-boot an Android or IOS device, anyway.
I have mixed feelings about Metro myself, but I think that a common runtime and
user experience over the whole range of devices is an attractive concept, and
one that will give Microsoft an edge.
In any case, Microsoft is betting the farm on this concept, so it's very likely
to happen.
