Windows 8 Milestone 2 Build 7955 Leaked and is now available publicly for download. The download is verified to be working. Looks like the new interface is the "Metro UI" featured in WP7 series.
@vineet369 : Yeah the new interface looks sweet! I'm glad they abandoned the aero interface.
Update : The other source says the build is actually Pre-M3 instead of M2 which makes sense because M3 builds were supposed to be 7951+
Update 2: The leak is currently available on private ftp servers.
Leaked by : BetaArchive
You can download the leaked build if you have ftp access on their site
It is not recommended you download any of the leaks and wait till the beta version is released. Indulging in such activities will be illegal and might result in drastic consequences

Don't judge the beta from (not even) pre-alpha bro!
I don't think, Aero is going to go away that easily!

@vineet369 I know they are not going to completely remove the aero UI. You can see in the screenshots that the logon interface uses Metro UI (used in WP7 series). As far as what I can say from this, is that they may have plans to replace the aero UI with the metro UI in some more features of the OS. They may partially abandon aero UI, not completely as of yet
Wow.. another preview of next gen of the OS!
Now this is the kind of interface, where Core i series of processors would really help, and would be necessary!

That looks like a concept. It would be great if they actually implement it in the future

I-series processors are necessary in real life nowadays, unless all you do is just surf the web. They're a luxury in some cases and a NEED in some.

Apple hardware can run Windows. That's why.
This looks really really good.

Bond, Desi Bond!
yes. Good that Microsoft is giving two layered UI. the newer Metro UI like design for those who use touch displays and like the tiled UI from WP7 and the traditional UI for Margo generation.
What I really want to see is one app for all platforms (windows for PC/tablet/phone) like how Apple is doing right now.
