Submission + - Windows 8: full details revealed (pcpro.co.uk) 1
Barence writes: Microsoft has released the first full details of Windows 8, with an all-or-nothing approach to touchscreen technology. All versions of Windows 8 — whether used on a touchscreen device or not — will use the operating system's new Metro interface, which was first developed for Windows Phone 7 devices. The advent of Windows 8 sees Microsoft introduce a new style of application, dubbed Metro Style apps, and its own app store. The company also claims to have boosted Windows 8 performance with fast boot/shutdown times, a new Task Manager and the option to Refresh a PC with a clean install of the OS with apps and setting still left intact.

the option to Refresh a PC with a clean install of the OS with apps and setting still left intact
That is a little oxy-moronic isn't it? How can it be a clean install if you keep the settings and apps?
