Is that some kind of third-party OSK? I scored a Win8 Ultrabook from work last week and the built-in OSK doesn't look like that.
Personally, I'm not much of a fan of on-screen keyboards. It's OK when you're in tablet mode for punching in a URL or a quick message board comment, but if I need to do any serious typing I pull out the real keyboard. The Win8 keyboard is better than, say, the iPhone simply because the "keys" are bigger, but the lack of tactile feedback is still disconcerting. For gaming, it's a complete non-starter for me.
