Windows 8 will be able to run on a wide range of machines because it will have the same system requirements or lower than Windows 7
Windows 8 re imagines every level of the Windows architecture — the kernel, networking, storage, devices, user interface
The new OS is REALLY FAST and FLUID.
The new OS is Created on Windows’ new application development platform. Based on HTML5, JavaScript and CSS.
There seem to be 2 interfaces – One for tablets and touch and the other for traditional desktop.
The 2 interfaces (at this point) seem to be in the same OS.
It has live tiles with notifications, showing always up-to-date information from your apps.
You can switch between apps by just dragging them in from the side.
Although the new user interface is designed and optimized for touch, it works equally well with a mouse and keyboard
There are rumors of less versions of Windows 8 than the traditional versions of Windows 7 (Enterprise, Home etc)
IE10 will be introduced with Windows 8
Switching between the live-tile UI and the usual desktop is instantaneous.
The tablet tiles have a very slick feel to them.
You can also do a split-screen interface, where you see both the new and the old UI side by side.
With Windows 8, apps are all optimized for touch.
PageUp and PageDown buttons will allow you to move between tiles on non-touchscreen devices.
It will have a new mode called “always on, always connected” – It’ll permit for instant wake-up from sleep and keep the ARM tablets constantly connected to the web.
It will allow tablets to connect to USB sticks
UEFI engagement will help with speeding up boot times – systems with SSDs in them could go from a cold boot to the Start screen in under 6 seconds.”
It will require a minimum of 1366 x 768 resolution for the best Windows 8 experience. 1024 x 768 will be the absolute minimum for the new UI fanciness and 1024 x 600 will let you run Windows 8 in the classic desktop mode.
Here is a short list of upcoming changes to the system.
1. Do you like Mac’s Time Machine Backup System? Then you’ll like History Vault. Apple’s Time Machine is a backup utility. The software works with the Time Capsule as well as other internal or external drives. So Microsoft is planning to add the History Vault as a backup system in Windows 8.
2. IE 10 will be the default browser on the Windows 8 System. Whether it will be locked into the OS is still unclear. When Microsoft made the Internet Explorer a part of the Windows XP system, Europe forced Microsoft to break it out so other browsers could work on the OS.
3. Windows 8 Versions galore. Expect to have a Home, Pro, and Ultimate versions of Windows 8 available.
4. Intel and ARM processors will be the defacto processors for Windows 8 tablets.
5. Microsoft has learned a lot from Apple (so have many other companies for that matter). And one of the interesting things to come out of it is the Windows store, to compete with the Apple store.
6. Online storage service. Microsoft will have access to the Azure online storage similar to Apple’s iDisk.
7. Built in PDF support. On a Mac this has been a standard for years now; Microsoft will follow suit.
8. Boot up time will be faster with hybrid boot. The PC will be in semi-hibernation mode and will keep certain files pre-loaded to make boot up faster.
9. Pre-loaded Piracy Check Software. This will let users know if their version of the software is pirated or not.
While these are in the rumor stage, some have been confirmed by Microsoft and others await information displays on the Builds that come out.
