Furthermore, Microsoft is of course the next version of Windows. But it will take about two years before “Windows 8″ on the market.Microsoft has now removed above Windows 8 related excerpt from their blog and replaced it with Windows 7’s first service pack and Windows Live Essentials update.
Last year, we had seen the roadmap of Windows Server, which predicted a major release in 2012. We have also seen some of the leaked details of Windows 8 features earlier this year. Now, we can firmly say that Windows 8 is not just another rumor on the Internet. Microsoft has already started its development and we might hear more updates about it in the future.
Windows 7 have received a huge response from all parts of the world, and it is being said that Microsoft development team has also started developing its upcoming operating system, Windows 8.
We have seen the roadmap of Windows operating systems, which depicts a major release in 2012. The release date is not fixed yet, but Windows 8 confidential details have started leaking on the Internet.
The early leaked information suggests that Microsoft has planned something special and advanced for everyone. Looking at the following screenshots, Microsoft seems to be working on implementation of Kinect technology into Windows 8. This technology will allow computer to detect the human behavior like facial expressions.
Apart from desktop PCs, Microsoft is also looking to cover the ‘slate’ market. The software manufacturing company is not going to develop any new Windows based touch device, but they are including face recognition and touch friendly environment features in Windows 8. Have a look at the screenshot below.
Since Windows 8 would be a major release in the future, it would require similar hardware to run smoothly. So, here are some of the leaked specifications.
Another interesting thing that Microsoft may add in Windows 8 is the “Attention Tracking”. This technology will be focused on future games, and it would be easier for computers to recognize and track the attention of gamers.
