Windows 8 Tablet User Interface REVEALED!
after 2 years of reengineering of Windows 7, Microsoft finally revealed the next generation Operating System, Windows 8!!
yow wazzup guyz, it’s me, ron and im here to give yo guyz a closer look at Windows 8.
this is such a big big news for the consumers since Windows 8 comes with its brand new look and a lot of great functionalities.
here is a post that i read a while ago from Windows8Beta.com:
Steven Sinofsky has finally revealed the new Windows 8 tablet UI at D9, which is very much like the Windows Phone 7 or the Zune interface. Microsoft has also announced for the first time that the next version of Windows is at present internally called as Windows 8. According to All Things Digital Windows 8 essentially supports two kinds of applications. One is the classic Windows application, which runs in a desktop very similar to the Windows 7 desktop.The other type of application, which has to be written in HTML5 and Javascript, looks more like a mobile application, filling the full screen. Internet Explorer 10, which is part of Windows 8, has already been configured to run in this mode, as have several widget-like apps for checking stock prices and weather
The start screen pretty much confirms the upcoming Windows Store and all the apps would be downloaded via it. Sinofsky further clarified that Windows 8 would have Internet Explorer 10 by default which we have mentioned earlier.
The company has posted few aspects of the new interface which was shown today at D9:
■Fast launching of apps from a tile-based Start screen, which replaces the Windows Start menu with a customizable, scalable full-screen view of apps.
■Live tiles with notifications, showing always up-to-date information from your apps.
■Fluid, natural switching between running apps.
■Convenient ability to snap and resize an app to the side of the screen, so you can really multitask using the capabilities of Windows.
■Web-connected and Web-powered apps built using HTML5 and JavaScript that have access to the full power of the PC.
■Fully touch-optimized browsing, with all the power of hardware-accelerated Internet Explorer 10
here is a short video showing the brand new User Interface of Windows 8:
and here is a link of the video of Windows 8 prototypes 😀 <it’s so new, this video is not available to *popular* video hosting sites yet hahaha>
you can also visit Microsoft.com for more info.
so, here are my thoughts about it 😀
first of all, yes! the UI is so cool! but it is not that cool for a mouse/touch pad user like me haha i dont have a tablet pc yet.. good thing there is a mode that i can turn back to the classic mode which is very similar to Windows 7 🙂 hahaha but on a second thought, with a lot of practice and experience, i guess a mouse/touch pad can get through it :D. Last of all, windows 8 is good if you have data with you all the time 🙂 that’s a plus! since you will see all of your updates with just one glimpse 🙂 if you dont have internet connection.. too bad!! hahaha 😀
so guyz, what are your thoughts? 😀
