Windows 8

So Microsoft have offered a video preview into what windows users can expect from the new operating system. Apparently it's new design is heavily influenced by the Windows Phone's which basically means you'll have a new home screen with tiles representing various functions.

Microsoft assure potential future users that this isn't a 'compramise' and that this OS will be equally useful on mobile device's and home PC's. Microsoft have also said that it will be a lot less processor hungry than Windows 7, which i personally thought was a horrendous OS. Hopefully Microsoft can actually up their game with this OS because i still haven't been temped away from XP after using every other newer OS available.

If i'm honest i think that they should stop abandoning poorly developed OS's like Vista and 7 and actually finish updating and working out the kinks before moving on to another, but that's Microsoft for you.

If you want to see what it looks like for yourself there is a video on this website: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/microsoft/8551957/Microsoft-previews-Windows-8.html

    Have to admit that Windows 8 is looking amazing. This could easily knock the iPad of its pedestal once this OS gets around the tablet scene.

    I would really like a new OS, although I went to 7. There is just too many viral issues with XP and I like having things such as connecting to a wireless network just be clicking a spot on the screen, not going through 80 submenus.

    Yeah, I LOVE 7. I personally hate any Mac OS... The close and max/min buttons are on the wrong side!!!

    I really find it hard to believe that it will be less processor hungry.

    I don't know about this, it just looks like the windows phone OS. If they release a trial thing like they did with Windows 7 I'll download it and try it but without a touch screen this probably wont be too great.
