IN PICTURES: Windows 8 Metro - the visual tour

A radical new look is in store for Windows... get a first look at Windows 8's smartphone-inspired Metro interface

It was invented for Windows Phone 7 but will be the new look for Windows 8. Metro is radically different, with no windows, frames, menus, or other UI elements on the screen: just the content itself. It's also promised to be gesture-oriented, though it will work with a mouse and keyboard as well. Windows 8 is six to twelve months away, but this week Microsoft released a developer preview that shows off some of the forthcoming OS. Much is still not working, and everything is subject to change, but here's InfoWorld's first look at the new UI for Windows you may be using in 2012 or 2013.
