windows 8 user interface

Today, at the D9 Conference, we demonstrated the next generation of Windows, internally code-named “Windows 8,” for the first time. Windows 8 is a re-imagining of Windows, from the chip to the interface. A Windows 8-based PC is really a new kind of device, one that scales from touch-only small screens through to large screens, with or without a keyboard and mouse.

The demo showed some of the ways we’ve reimagined the interface for a new generation of touch-centric hardware. Fast, fluid and dynamic, the experience has been transformed while keeping the power, flexibility and connectivity of Windows intact.

  1. I don’t see a new OS I see a nifty windows tablet shell program running on top of Windows 7.

  2. Win 8 is Win phone 7? Microsoft has gone mad!!!

    I was expecting Win 8 to be app based running in IE10!!! Cloud-based at that!!! This is just a copy of Apple’s iOS overlay on top of Mac 10.1 OS aka lion, but lacking in apps!!! for Microsoft’s
    sake, i hope this is just a video………
