With the recent leak of Windows 8 build 7955, we expect more information about Microsoft's upcoming operating system to surface. That trend continues today as we were tipped by @alexerax (who said more updates in the near future) about a new video that shows the out of box experience for the Metro UI. The video shows the basic setup of a wireless network and a little bit more.
The video, shown below, comes from the recently leaked build 7955 and provides a glimpse at Microsoft's new Metro UI. Microsoft is incorporating this design language across many of its products and the video shows an early look at the new interface.

Windows 8 is far off from public availability and it is rumoured that a public beta may be announced at PDC later this year. It is expected that Microsoft will launch Windows 8 in late 2012 with the latest rumours suggesting that retail availability will happen in early 2013.

Dear god the ribbon makes the UI look awful. Whilst great in Office it makes Win Explorer look rubbish! :/
