Microsoft's next Windows could be a cross-platform OS (http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Desktops-and-Notebooks/Windows-8-Early-Build-Hints-at-Apple-webOS-Competitor-742007/) in the style of Apple's iOS or Hewlett-Packard's webOS, if supposed early builds are to be believed... "Bloggers Rafael Rivera and Paul Thurrott, in a series of April postings on Rivera’s Within Windows blog, have described the various features of what they claim is an early build of Windows 8: an Office-style ribbon integrated into Windows Explorer, complete with tools for viewing libraries, manipulating images and managing drive assets; an unlock screen that harkens to the 'Metro' design style already present in Windows Phone 7; an 'immersive' user interface and a built-in PDF reader they call 'Modern Reader.'"http://tech.slashdot.org/story/11/04/09/1850255/Windows-8-Early-Build-Hints-At-Apple-WebOS-Competitor---EWeek
