Design has become much more important since WinXP and design is one of the pilars of Win8- Microsoft may not have taken it too seriously in the past, but it certainly is now.

The design of Win8 has been very meticulously planned- I don't think we'll see any significant changes at all.

I am curious though about how often they plan on updating platform apps such as mail- will we see significant improvements every 3-6mo, or will it be tied to the OS release schedule?
