What could a Windows 8 / Windows 7 Phone derivative interface look like?

What could a Windows 8 / Windows 7 Phone derivative interface look like?

Yesterday I wrote about how Microsoft now have an opportunity to bring all of their platforms and services together to form a seamless interconnectedness that would not only make life considerably simpler for millions of people, but that could also turn around the company’s fortunes.

The Zune software, on the PC and the Zune HD has been praised for some time now and, to the surprise of a great many people including myself, the new Zune inspired software on Windows Phone 7 Series has caused quite a stir.

But if Microsoft were to extend this further what could a new interface for Windows 8 look like?

I’ve spent just a short while this morning making up the mock-up (below) as one example of how such a new interface could work on the desktop as a replacement for the Start Menu we’ve all come to love or hate.

This is only a sample, obviously there would have to be much more to the interface than this, but as an example of what the future could hold? Well, what do you think about the future of the Windows interface?
