Windows 8 Features Updates

Windows 8 as seen so far is just windows 7 with User Interface for applications that's all , it is going to marketed at netbooks, mobile devices etc, but still in that area chorme OS and linux will always prevail.

Windows 7 system requirement are less then then they were for windows vista !!! Windows vista was a hog , so yes anyone running windows 7 can upgrade on same specs whenever it comes out , MS dos major OS overhaul only after 4 years , windows 7 or windows 8 will be same till at least 2014 or so........................

Reason being if a Operating System needs hardware upgrade not many people will go for it, people who have upgraded during 09,10 won't be looking to upgrade for another 2 or 3 years , plus hardware makers won't to be too happy to ship a Operating System which they cannot support , i7 processor is not seeing a major upgrade from intel for another 2 years max same goes for AMD, it is graphics or gpu 's which will be seeing changes faster then even a cell now but most prcs' will be happy to handle anything thrown at them for next 2 years given the current processors in market.

Windows 8 will become in 2012 - Some features revealed

According to the latest announcement of Steve Ballmer, (Chief Executive officer)CEO of Microsoft the next version of their operating system – Windows 8 will become available in 2012.

During the conference held in Tokyo Steve Ballmer didn’t tell anything about the features of the windows 10 and thus didn’t confirm or reject the rumor circulating on the Internet.

At the same the Chief Executive officer(CEO) said that they work at natural user interface. “We want smart devices to work the way we work, to recognize us and our actions. Speech recognition, vision, handwriting recognition, touch interfaces, these are all part of the theme,” said Steve Ballmer.

The second big area of innovation will come in natural language, i.e. voice, and vision, and touch. “With natural language, we're really asking ourselves the question, can we let you control your computing environment by expressing intent instead of specific commands. Today on a PC, it's file open, blah, blah, blah, respond, reply, forward….. With natural language, whether it's in English, or Japanese, or any one of a number of other languages, you should be able to command the computer with your intent, and have it take action,” explained Ballmer.

The third area will be HTML and JavaScript.

The forth one is chip and form factors. According to Ballmer the new system will support system-on-a-chip architectures, not only from Intel and AMD, but also from a set of ARM vendors.

The last thing Steve Ballmer told about was the cloud. “And with both Azure, Windows Azure and SQL Azure, as well as Office 365, we've made a major step into the cloud,” he said.
