so lets get to the rumors shall we?
1) people are saying that the UI well boot in several flavors. in other words the UI well boot to a point then ask what your going to use the system for. media/gaming/internet/office/exe or a full version. this would change performance areas in the pc and allow for better performance in that task. if your just going to play a movie then it wont take much power, as ware i gaming would rely more on the graphics card and less on your preprocessor, and the list goes on. this would make the UI amazing for not only at home or laptop, but grate for tablets
2) speaking of tablets, a lot of people say the next version well have touch power. well first let me say im running a touch PC by HP that was built on vista. and touch screens have bin used by windows since 95 so i think would people mean to say is make the UI more touch friendly. but their has bin a leak out that shows metro style icons to be used for windows 8, this is the same UI interface on zune, zune HD, and windows phone 7. which is very touch friendly UI. so to see metro being brought in i have to say that the next version well be touch friendly. Bill gates him self has said that tablets are the future (back in 07) so now that they have a few w7 tabs on the market or as i like to call them Slates, because i think tablet is more of term for the mobile os, not a full os. any ways now that the market is now their that means that this version well be much more tablet styled.
3) tablet hardware friendly. this new version is sure to add on support for motion controls, GPS, and the like to be more tablet efficient, rather then add those things just to a tablet version.
4) touch programs, windows dues have some touch programs built just for showing off on windows 7, this touch is just a few games, a photo table, and things of that. which are just modified versions of the stuff we see on surface. which is also coming out with version 2 this year.
5) new versions of the basics with touch innovation, media center, media player, movie maker, zune, photo gallery, live photo, office, paint, outlook, IE, live movie maker, live mssnger, and the rest. no doubt some of them well even have visual support as kinect has bin working its way into PC's as well.
6) kinect, lots of people have bin hacking in to the hardware and using it for new applications and programs in life out side of gaming, so MS took the hint right away with its 10,000,000 units sold in 4 months and got to work making it for use in W7, so W8 well sure to be not just touch, but kinect friendly as well.
7) grouping tool bar, their has bin some talk about the toolbar being able to group your programs together so that all of your browsers are in one spot, all of your media players are in another on your toolbar, by hovering over them a display well show all thats inside. this is a sign that they well be taking a lot of W7 and making some evo improvements and some smart design improvements.
now of course most of this is just talk, but not all of it is me so no doubt some of this well work its way in to the new UI/OS. and thus their is more reason to get excited other then better performance. but their is also the reason to get excited for new hardware to support this OS. and is supposedly coming out next year. so cheers
