Ohhhh, I get it!  But Windows is not a person, therefore it would not be cannibalism, would it.

No, it's a completely new look and feel. It looks very similar to the Windows Phone 7 OS, with the large finger friendly icons, and there is no start button. I'm still getting to grips with it, but am hoping to be able to write some words down about my experiences, hopefully with a view to publishing them here...

No brainer IMO. Probably quite literally, if you're not careful Dude the 44 is an icon. End of.
