While today’s Windows 8 launch event in NYC didn’t open our eyes and ears to anything we haven’t known Microsoft’s latest OS and the Surface RT tablet , we did take a few moments to spend some time with the New York Times’ new app for the OS. The layout is frankly dead simple, and should be familiar to anyone who’s unfolded a traditional daily edition made from that stuff they call paper and ink. Swiping from side to side lets you transition between verticals — it becomes long-winded quickly, unfortunately — while swiping down from the top edge gives you even more sub-sections to choose from, like photos and video. We’re pleased to note that we didn’t notice a hint of lag on the VAIO T13 Ultrabook and Asus tablet we tried it out on, either
