Brand new from microsoft:
Windows 8 is the current release of the Windows operating system , produced by Microsoft for use on personal computers, including home and business desktops , laptops , tablets , and home theater PCs . Development of Windows 8 started before the release of its predecessor Windows 7 in 2009. Its existence was first announced at CES 2011, and followed by the release of three pre-release versions from September 2011 to May 2012. The operating system was released to manufacturing on August 1, 2012, and is scheduled for general availability on October 26, 2012.
Windows 8 introduces significant changes to the operating system's platform, primarily focused towards improving its experience on mobile devices such as tablets and ipads to rival other mobile operating systems (such as Android and iOS ). taking advantage of new and emerging technologies (such as USB 3.0 , UEFI firmware, near field communications , cloud computing , and the low-power ARM architecture ), new security features (such as malware filtering, built-in antivirus software , and support for secure boot, a controversial UEFI feature which requires operating systems to be digitally signed to prevent malware from infecting the boot process), along with other changes and performance improvements.
Windows 8 also introduces a new shell and user interface based off Microsoft's "Metro" design language , featuring a new Start screen with a grid of dynamically updating tiles to represent applications, a new app platform with an emphasis on touchscreen input, the new Windows Store to obtain and purchase applications for the system, and theability to synchronize programs and settings between multiple devices.
There are some available screenshots of its start screen here.
