Windows 8 - Is this just a geeky stuff?

We are just days away from the birth of this new baby - Windows 8. This will create a new era in desktops as the World's premier Operating System will switch from its conventional view to favour touch inpu as a primary one. But is this just for the Geeks? Well, it's difficult to answer.

First, the UI is pretty new for a normal customer. There is no doubt that Geeks will love it. But it will be hard task for microsoft to pull in the regular customers to the Windows 8. But there they have the twist. I've pushed some of my friends who are not fond of computers to use Windows 8 and surprising they do love it. Those who used Windows 8 Release Preview hesitate to switch back to Windows 7. So, Microsoft's bigger task is to make people use the OS atleast for a few days and let them know the expereience.

For me, its not a Geeky stuff at all. But world always thinks different from you. We will know the result in a few weeks time. Here are some screenshots from Win8 RP
