Feast your eyes on the first look at Windows 8. The walkthrough shows the most striking revision to Microsoft's 25-year-old operating system and takes a lot of touch-controlled elements from Windows Phone. Visually, it's high-style and flashy but at least its original and different. What is interesting is we're seeing elements of mobile operating systems making it to the desktop.
