The windows 8 dev preview for 32 and 64 bit computers is out and available for free download on windows developer site. Please read the guidelines. I recommend installing this in a virtual machine like virtual box or parallels. The preview isn't designed to replace your windows xp, windows 7 or etc, as their are many unavailable features.
Their are quite some new features. the Desktop still retains a similar interface to windows 7, and apps still seem to load the same way as win 7 too. The apps that appear in the menu are known as "Metro Style Apps".

<----- Some pictures of the windows 8 start menu. It supports a few muli-touch gestures, though only one managed works ( using 2 fingers, like the mac to scroll the menu) but isn't as smooth. Click to enlarge.Samsung also released a Windows 8 preview tablet, geared towards eager developers.
