The image above hides something very unsettling behind the cutesy, saccharine-y sweet manga style animation.

Break out the champagne, nerds of the world.

You guys remember that lovely-looking Metro-UI-ified Windows 8 screen grabs that got leaked a while back? Hahaha. Yeahno. This is what you’re getting in Windows 8. The Ribbon.
