Bing page for Windows 8 Consumer Preview - betta fish

We’ve been covering the next version of Microsoft’s Windows operating system for quite a while now. Windows 8 will be big, with a truckload of improvements over Windows 7. Installing or upgrading to Windows 8 will be easier and faster, it will offer a touch-friendly boot experience with 30-70% faster boot times. The new operating system will have a smaller memory footprint, able to run on just 1GB of RAM, and of course is built for a mobile future, to run on both desktops, laptops and tablets.

Windows 8 boot options new UI

You can already download the Developer Preview of Windows 8, so you can try the upcoming tablet friendly desktop OS for yourselves. Nonetheless, Microsoft continues to provide us with detailed info on the changes, improvements and new capabilities of Windows 8. It has already shown us that our PCs will boot-up faster, and today Microsoft is showing off the new boot experience with Windows 8.

Gone are, finally, the days of BIOS text screens from the 1980’s flashing by on your screen following by an incomprehensible list of boot-up options. Microsoft has now made the entire boot-up process seamless, keeping the same Metro UI and blue background throughout boot-up. Also because Windows 8 will run on devices without a hardware keyboard, the boot UI has also received the touch-friendly treatment; so now everything from dual-booting your system or performing a system restore or repair has received the same polish as the actual operating system — as has the new BSOD.

Windows 8 Start screen

Microsoft just showed-off the next big version of Windows, to a room packed full of developers, at the BUILD conference. Windows 8 features two interfaces, one resembling the current Windows interface and a more touch friendly Metro-style interface — which you can see in the screenshot above. This allows Windows 8 to feel at home on normal desktops, touchscreen all-in-ones, tablets, laptops, you name it.

However Windows 8 is not just a change of appearances, the new operating system features a lot of improvements, we’ve already seen how Windows 8 will speed-up your boot times, and new features compared to Windows 7. We’ve compiled below a list of features which we think are interesting, from today’s official preview.
