Microsoft has unveiled the final consumer preview of its long awaited new operating system Windows 8 an extended version of the existing Windows 7 ahead of its October release.
The preview tells what distinguishes the latest version with an all new look of blocky and a bright home page. The new Windows operating system has not only shelled out the traditional old desktop look but also offers an interface primarily for the tablets called metro.
The new Microsoft operating system is all kudos to the developers who have dished out all new features of live applications to the home screen. As per the preview, some of the applications will come in handy for the users which will keep on updating constantly thereby enabling the users to check their latest e-mails. But the end-users who want to have the usual desktop they can still have it.
The new metro is said to have a different feel as it has been developed keeping in mind the touch controls as compared to the usual mouse and keyboard controls. According to some experts it feels really good to see the smooth amalgamation of touch use with the mouse and keyboard.
Windows 8 supports flash which differentiates tablets from an i-pad and also has a feature of ‘do not track’ private setting for the web browsers. The all new feature of ‘do not track’ is a step forward to give consumers a choice in browsing and tracking.
On the whole, it seems from the preview that Microsoft’s Windows 8 is all set to give a tough competition to Apple and Google in the world of tablets.
