Information about Windows 8
A while back Microsoft has delivered some facts about the new version of Windows, we want to sum some of these facts. Microsoft new version of Windows will put it focus on touch, just like Apple did with their new OSX codename “Lion”. They introducing a new interface, based on the tiles we had seen on the Windows Phone 7. This interface is mainly focused on tablet interfaces, but will be used and seen on all devices such as laptops, desktops and others systems.
Windows 8 gets the looks of mobile
The new Windows mobile was fully focused to touch. The total user interface had an overhaul to make it more work for a mobile device. Now this technology has been ported towards the desktop version of Windows, Windows 8. Is this the correct approach? I don’t really know. Its all focused on devices with a touch screen, and currently the majority of the users don’t have a computer with a touch screen. The start-up screen now also works with tiles, and you can flip screens back and forth. Microsoft posted a YouTube video of all this cool stuff, but they use the hands as a pointing device, I’m interested if its still usable when actually using a mouse.
