Windows 8, and things to come

A friend commented on what he considers the ugliness of Windows 8. Personally I like it, but I also like the way the UI works and can see beyond what it is now. Windows OS are frequently hacked and re-skinned to suit the user. I imagine Win8 will be no exception. So with that. I submit a quick mock up of what I'd like to see for the New OS....or something close to this anyway.

Here's what the Windows 8 start screen looks like now for comparison.
