There is no indication of user interface changes, although there is a picture of an all-in-one PC.
It looks the same  |

Not exactly too soon, Microsoft used to release their OS in much smaller gaps, remember Windows 3.11, 95, 98, 2000, Me... all in about 2 - 3 years gap... It's only the gap between XP and Vista that is huge... 2009 - 2010 is about 3 years also.

But these facial recognition softwares are bad at recognising people with darker skin like we asians have, even worse on the blacks... Check this out,lolhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4DT3tQqgRM |

I don't think it's too soon. Windows 7 was released last year, so it's already 1 year of their release date. If Windows 8 will be released in 2012, it's 3 years interval and it's not abnormal in Microsoft's production cycle. Maybe Windows 7 is not so familiar in Malaysia, but in United States it's available everywhere.

And where you get that information if I may ask? Please, stop spreading rumors. It's not even ready for beta testing yet. Plus, I don't know if you're outdated, but Bill Gates ain't part of Microsoft anymore. |

In your case you haven't had the eggs yet. Windows 8 is in development, yes, but the so-called "features" are the early roadmap that Microsoft aims to add among other features. You can't be serious and take it as such that that is all to Windows 8's new features. Windows 8 release in 2012 seems feasible. Windows 7 is doing great and will continue to do so well into 2012. |

If you go and read about the leaked roadmap of the next Windows, you'll see that they mention it as "Windows 8", just like Windows 7 codename was, "Windows 7". |

my bet is that w8 be 64 bit only.
XP to vista took so long because its a leap of faith M$ taken to "improve" the monotonous looks of windows and security features (the effingly annoying UAC). vista also introduces kernel patch protection which is the reason why so many AV and firewalls breaks on grounds of "compatibility". this hardened kernels, M$ hopes, will improve security. m$ learns from the mistakes and brought to us w7, which is a great product, i must admit. and i certainly hope w8 will be even better. sos tiram: http://www.grc.com/sn/sn-067.txt |

If only windows could update their OSes like steam did with their games. Rather than releasing a new one every year. Wouldn't it be better if they release a major update every once in a while?
Its obvious enough that these people at Microsoft are in it for money and not for the development and revolution of OS. |

Just because Windows didn't get updated like games, having minor revision, doesn't mean it's not updated. Since when Microsoft release a new one every year? It's following their 3 years cycle. If it's not for development, right now you're still stuck with Windows Vista, no DirectX 11 etc eh? Not only Microsoft, all software giants, are in it for money including Apple and Adobe.Its obvious enough that these people at Microsoft are in it for money and not for the development and revolution of OS. |

i think the impact of Windows 8 will not be significant enough to generate enough hype as windows 7. Since Vista actually attracts all the attention and Windows 7 "fixes" the complaints on Vista to generate enough trusts and sales, most people will already be satisfied with Windows 7.
With 3 year cycle updates, only a handful of people will buy Windows 8 or new PC buyers will get it. Existing Windows 7 owners might not waste the money if it's not some major breakthrough product. It'll probably be like Windows 98se or Windows ME for Windows 98. |

I'm all in for new. I migrated to VISTA b4 it was launch, same for Windows 7 and soon Windows 8.
I laugh at people who is so scared of new O/S that they still hiding behind Windows XP after 1 decade!!! Added on September 15, 2010, 8:54 pm QUOTE(FarCry3r @ Aug 23 2010, 07:58 PM) Maybe, maybe not. I'm particularly interested about booting Windows (almost) instantly, which, up till now, is not do-able. Full migration to 64-bit and component-based install are both interesting to follow. I think that is almost DO-ABLE and at the same time NOT-DOABLE. DO-ABLE is the sense if you spend RM3xx on an SSD, it's almost happening. Not DO-ABLE, is due to BIOS boot up is still pretty slow especially if you enable SATA mode(AHCI) or RAID...even before going into O/S, maybe 10 seconds gone liao, so even with SSD, time lost on BIOS boot up is unavoidable. It takes a combination of SSD and a faster BIOS bootup in order to have a PC boot up under 3 seconds me thinks. I thought there were talks of moving the PC BIOS to EFI like Macintosh....still nothing yet?? This post has been edited by Matrix: Sep 15 2010, 08:54 PM |

Hmm... I was using Windows 2000 for my work last time.
It was stable. But it's lack of interface candies made me install tonnes of stuff which got me walking into the Computer department for my quarterly re-image. That is, until they got fedup and installed windows XP for me in the end. So, Microsoft was right to put some eye candies into their interface so users won't have to spoil the OS, too much... |

QUOTE(gengstapo @ Sep 15 2010, 02:37 PM) Im on Windows 7 currently, seems to be perfectly stable & fast OS. Is there any reason to change into Windows 8? it's not our decision to decide whether to change or not.. when microsoft says upgrade to win8 they we must upgrade lo, they will drop the support for win7.. |

Lmao. I don't think Microsoft is going to release it as Windows 8. They'll rename it to something else. Probably Windows Gate

I highly doubt that...if he did so the employee can sue him for intentional damages done to his/her property, and you can't control what your staff wants to buy or use? I wouldn't think a CEO of any kind of company would do that, let alone Steve Balmer.

instead of just revising existent product to become new product.
I would prefer MS to start a new OS project from scratch - yes, a revolution rather than an evolution this is needed for computer hardwares to be fully utilized. I am sure a lot people will complain compatibility issues, but sacrifice is needed for better efficiency what do you guys think ? |

for me and my personal beliefs. the good windows version is
(upgrade from 98) Windows 98se (best version. beats the hell out of ME and 2000) (upgrade from 2000) Windows XP (didnt use it until 2002, shockingly satisfying, i dont even want to change at first lol) (upgrade from Vista) Windows 7 (tried vista on a friends pc and readin review.. it sucks.. until 7 comes i installed it right away) ~looks up~  im pretty sure i will hold up for a while if Windows 8 hav surfaced.. I don't dig the hype, i dig the reviews. cheers~  |

I hope that Microsoft would make their OS greener. I have have to use laptops and i always find myself low in battery when using the Windows 7.
My Acer laptop can survive for about 1.25 hour, but it could only survive for about 45 minutes on the Windows 7. |

QUOTE(Fallensya14 @ Nov 26 2010, 09:36 AM) It's just that things were going too fast.. Of course peeps including me are going to upgrade So does the hardwares. If they didn't release new version soon, they're gonna end up adding bloats to existing Windows 7 codebase instead of creating something new for the hardwares. |

They're just a rumor but there's one identical proof, the new Nvidia Quadro 265 driver. Take a look at this:
CODE ; NVIDIA Windows Vista / 7 / 8 (64 bit) Display INF file DiskID1 = “NVIDIA Windows Vista / 7 / 8 (64 bit) Driver Library Installation Disk 1″ NVIDIA_WIN8 = “NVIDIA” The driver refers to a new version of Window$ kernel, which 6.2 and the code above includes the references to Window$ 8. |

QUOTE(FarCry3r @ Dec 24 2010, 12:58 PM) If you did read the rumors circulating the Internet, only some files will be available on the cloud. If you're so not into cloud, why considering Google Chrome OS? Well i do not need to read the rumors also know that. Otherwise, booting a computer without any files in the hard disk?Non sense. I just hope that Microsoft would think carefully which feature should remain within the cloud services. Chrome OS, I might try it out later when it hit Malaysian market for sometime. |

Well , wrong
Chrome OS is google developed OS but google's OS is goobuntu . Chrome OS parents are Chromium OS - a project which is fully open source . Chrome just use the source code , add a few trademarking things and own logo - Done About goobuntu - used internally by google it self and never got leaked or available for download . |

The fact that Google made Chrome OS doesn't change at all. And you're wrong, Chromium IS developed by Google. Chrome OS is based on Chromium but Chrome OS is the closed source version of Chrome OS and will be only used on certain systems from Google's manufacturing partners. And Goobuntu, I won't say leaked, but Google will never release it to the public, but they made Chrome OS instead. Unless there are some people working for Google to get the OS leaked. |

Stable or not that's another thing to consider. How would you respond if your personal desktop/laptop get infected with viruses which (let say) steal all your personal/banking information, who you'd blame? You can't blame Microsoft.

QUOTE(Quantum_thinking @ Jan 20 2011, 11:46 PM) What is that? An UX concept as seen here. It is intuitive and fresh, but take note that all these will requires the main component to be rebuild from scratch using WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) and too bad this kind of interface will consume lots of RAM and graphic processing power, which will left out those users with system 2 or 3 years ago behind. Concept is a concept, and rarely gets into the real thing, unless it's really good and the team can make it. Just look at those Longhorn concepts, it's all interesting (and fresh at that time) but in the end, it's all scrapped because of lack of times (due to development reset) and problem integrating it to the OS core. |

I see. Usually all the dream or proposals are very nice and fits the requirement that is being set. I hope that Windows 8 could be more greener that could enable me to use it in the laptop for a longer time. |

I think win8 doesnt really contribute much.
MS tries to make win7 multi platformable but got their arse kicked by android and apple due to their applications dominating the cellphone and tablet market. They are already alot steps behind. Noticing that , MS yet tries to launch win8 and hoping that with a new look, they could probably dominate everything on the market including cellphones,tablets,gaming console,pc/laptops. The company is just greedy enough to steer every of their competitor off the digital world. But unfortunately, they are behind time. |

So fast? I don't think so. Windows 8 is expected to be released in 2012. There's a leaked screenshot of Windows 8 showing a copyright notice like this:
QUOTE Copyright® Microsoft Corporation 2012. Aero Color Automatic Changing(or whatever it's called):  UserTile(or whatever it's called, again):  *Not the real screenshot from Windows 8, but a program made to look like the real one for Windows 7, developed by AngleWZR and Stealth2010(they both have Win8 builds.)* Logon screen:  Source: Obviously, you know where to get these... |

The M1 build is pretty useless IMHO, it's very buggy and nothing new for us to try. I'm waiting for the M3 build leak.

Since all those technologies from Windows 7 is still current, there's no need to waste time to build something that works from scratch. That would be stupid. Just like how Windows 7 was built on Windows Vista foundation, they can focus less on development and get more features on the new Windows with less times and efforts.This post has been edited by FarCry3r: Apr 15 2011, 12:15 AM |

Well, after you install it, you might notice that the are not many features to try out, but some guys have found out the ways to unlock some new features like Modern TaskUI, Explorer Ribbon UI, etc., few days back. But this build is very old and buggy, you might want to wait for another build.

If you check more about Win 8, you'll know that they've predicted that MS will release Win 8 in 2012, probably the mid or end of the year. Some screenshots also has shown a copyright notice of MS, like "© Copyright 2012 Microsoft."
By the way, MS has developed a more user-friendly BSoD and more informative. I've to admit that it looks better. |

i dun think microsoft will name it as Windows 8, since there is no Windows 6.
The 7 could be stand for V or aka Vista, but the updated version of Vista. So, the next version could be iWindows or Windows Evolution. LoL |

Windows Vista is version 6.0, Windows 7 is suppose to be version 7, but since Microsoft doesn't want to break compatibility with older applications like they did with Windows Vista, they stick with version 6 and only increase the subversion number. So Windows 8 is the logical name for the next version of Windows IMHO.The 7 could be stand for V or aka Vista, but the updated version of Vista.

If end users right now is not tech savvy as 10 years ago, what's the point making it available? Right? P/S: I never get BSOD with my Windows 7 |

i don't think windows 8 or whatever the name is will be release so soon. windows 7 as it is now is considerably the most stable windows version ever . creating another version of windows in a very short period of time will only confuse customers. many people are still using old hardware , and new version of operating system usually require them to change the hardware a little bit here and there if not much. my take is that they will release "windows 7 release 2 <whatever-edition> " to provide support for more old hardware perhaps to help people make transition from old windows to windows 7 .

Mind you that half of the peoples that still not on Windows 7 platform are not because they're incapable of doing so, but they have the closed mindset that aren't ready for changes, which are quite huge from Windows XP to Windows 7. Too bad they can't catch up like the rest of us. For businesses, they always lags behind, there's nothing Microsoft can do to help them and they still fine running the older version of Windows, so why do they need to upgrade to Windows 8? Microsoft ain't forcing them down the throat right? I knew several businesses that still stick to Windows 2000 with Office 2000 because they don't have the time and money to upgrade.Bottom line is, why should Microsoft stop at Windows 7 just to satisfy select group of users, or why should any company do? |

Man, can you guys stop jumping to conclusions and say the name isn't Windows 8, it's not going to be released by next year(which we assume it should based on the previous Windows releases, should be a good proof of it going to be released next year), etc.
BTW, build 7959 leaked. And you can use NoPill and BluePill to unlock the hidden features, but only on the previous builds because the features are disabled in this build as this is a workstation copy AFAIK. This post has been edited by -Hzu-: May 2 2011, 10:48 PM |

The tiles from Metro UI is gorgeous but very much annoying on normal keyboard/mouse as they're just wasting space.
For tablets and AIO PCs, it would be very much suitable. I guess after a few manufacturer have put W7 in tablets, MS is taking the chance to improve it on that front. More versatile for different type of platform. This post has been edited by exentric_nova: Jun 3 2011, 01:41 AM |

QUOTE(FarCry3r @ May 2 2011, 11:57 AM) I knew several businesses that still stick to Windows 2000 with Office 2000 because they don't have the time and money to upgrade. Yes, you are right about the financial constraint faced by small- and medium-sized companies that cannot afford to upgrade to the latest hardware and software. What I do not understand is that some large corporations who can afford private jets and limousines to their executives refuse to upgrade to Windows 7, leaving their staffs with lots of problem in dealing with incompatibity in their computers with current software. The corporations only need to allocate a small portion of their excess budget to upgrade to Windows 7, and yet they refuse to do so, even though they are financially capable.

A lot of changes were made in WIndows 8. Stop making assumptions like "I doubt it", "Nah', etc. BSOD is no longer BLUE, it's now BLACK with more friendly look. There are many other things, but that's all I remember now, haven't checked the news about Windows 8 for months now.

Last time when Microsoft change the interface from Windows XP to Windows Vista, even though not entirely, people raaaaaageee.

The only news I am interested in is the news that users can completely turn off the stupid Metro UI on desktops and laptops (turn off=not even a single character of the code will be loaded) and changing the Start button to the regulat Start button where I can browse a list of my installed programs when I click it instead of showing me the Metro UI.
Even better if users are allowed to uninstall the Metro UI. |

It was real, but the laptop is a powerful one. Still, it looks promising. Finally some major improvement rather than silly UI changes.

Yeah, the Office 15 beta is just the same as before, hopefully they won't make an ugly interface. What's important is it's easiness to use.

What I meant to say is, the current Office 15 beta is not touch friendly. It's still the same Office 2010 and if there's no alternative touch-friendly UI, I bet it's going to be quite hard to use, especially with those (existing) touch tablets that have low resolution.so if you arent doing any technical things on windows. the metro UI is a good and easy platform for your work/entertainment/social network needs. |

I think a lot of folks are expecting "Windows 8" to be the typical "your next Windows upgrade". I don't think this is quite the case, at least at the moment.
I truly believe Microsoft has done Windows 7 right, and now aims to take the next step in computing - focusing on touch functionality. It is an area that has existed on Windows platform before, but never on this scale - across the entire version. It is true that there may not be noticable changes when compared to Windows 7 (e.g Home users etc.) but underneath Windows 8 is a brand new 'layer' that adds a tremendous amount of the "next step" in computing. Watching the preview builds and videos, I have to say that Microsoft is yet again taking a risk. In my opinion, a risk that will work out both ways - those who want the touch functions and those who just want a newer operating system. Vista had too many new features/unwanted features and was considered "bloated". Windows 7 solved it all by trimming and making everything user-centric. Windows 8 aims to bring touch features to the forefront, something Microsoft has never done on this scale. So in a way, Windows 8 may not be essential, but it is the next version of Windows that will improve user experience. Whether or not it will be popular among computer manufacturers / users, remains to be seen. I believe (most) fans of Windows 7 will upgrade to Windows 8, while computer manufacturers will *hopefully* start manufacturing even more touch-capable computers. The Metro interface is sweet. Never seen one in the flesh, but it is a really clean and neat interface. |

QUOTE(sara121 @ Sep 15 2011, 08:28 PM) Microsoft is trying to make an impression here! I think when vista was a big flop..they very soon released windows 7. I think now Microsoft them self are unsatisfied with windows 7. i think there won't much changes in windows 8. they just want $$$ Yes Vista was really troublesome and unstable.Windows 7 changed that. Now Windows 8? Hmm , dunno if I gonna upgrade to 8. Just bought new laptop with Windows7 Home Premium.... |

For the past few weeks we have been hearing a lot of rumors about the upcoming Windows 8 tablets from Dell ,HP,Asus and that their Windows 8 tablet would most probably be released in the Q3 of 2012.
One of the main manufacturers to Watch out for the upcoming Windows 8 tablet is Samsung,as we already saw a glimpse of their Windows 8 offering at the build conference where the Developers were given Samsung Windows 8 Developer Preview Tablets and now Samsung’s Samsung’s head of sales and marketing Uhm Kyu Ho in an interview with Bloomberg that Samsung will launch its first Windows 8 based tablet in the second half of 2012.  The gui are too messy right?? |

I think the GUI is good for home users and tablet users
What makes it different is this OS is used on all type of devices But for professionals, these touch features and new start screen design will not help much |
