Leaked MS Presentation Shows App Store Plans For Windows 8

FrankNFurter sends word of an internal Microsoft presentation leaked online today that contains details about Windows 8. The slides mention support for 3-D displays, connectivity upgrades, rapid startup times, and an integrated application store. Quoting Neowin: "Consumers will be able to search on the web or locally on a Windows 8 machine to access applications from the store. Microsoft also details plans for application developers to help reach millions of users. One of the goals is to ensure licensing and monetization for developers is flexible with a transparent on-boarding process. It's clear that the 'Windows Store' will be a software service Microsoft provides and hosts fully in the cloud. The company will likely build the distribution model on Windows Azure to lure application developers."

Microsoft... Bringing you Today's technologies 4 years from now..

Wheres the innovation?

And really? an App store? For WIndows?
Cloud Computing? Really? Isn't it here now today?
Searching the Web or Locally? (Hmm... I dunno if I have been doing this my whole life)
Rapid Startup times? Every OS I have boots in less than 30 seconds.. Last time I booted windows it took 5 mins.
