Interesting that as soon as they dump the old Windows logo, they just start using it as the company logo, minus the swoops.
That said, however, I like it. I'm a big fan of color, and, while not a big fan of Windows, I've always liked its logo. In fact, while I probably won't ever install or use it extensively, I've really been liking the bold, primary color design of Windows 8.
My first thought wasn't Windows, it's Live Tiles. It seems to have the allusion of Windows (the past) and "the design style formerly known as Metro" (the future).
All in all, a big improvement!
Only one thing: I can't believe it doesn't render properly in mobile safari on MS home page! Bottom line gets clipped...
