Just last week, we got our paws on Samsungs Series 7 Slate, and its already making its second debut. This time around, however, its sporting a much more mouthwatering setup. No, its not dawning Lady Gagas edible leftovers; this new look comes courtesy of Microsofts much teased and hotly anticipated touch-friendly OS, Windows 8. As youve likely already heard, the latest incarnation of the operating system is something entirely new for Redmond, and, as it turns out, the world. Its unlike anything weve seen before, but that wont stop us from making comparisons.Like Apples latest attempt at a desktop OS, Windows 8 borrows largely from its mobile kin, Window Phone 7, bringing its signature live tiles to tablets and PCs, and from what weve seen it does so effortlessly. Before we go ruining a good thing, however, we have to point out that this isnt everything Windows has to offer — its still a developers preview and in turn, an OS under construction, and the device its running on hasnt been approved as an official Windows 8 slate. Got all that? Good. Read on for our first impressions!
