Microsoft Windows developer preview 8, an operating system to rule them all

Yesterday, during a conference for developers (Microsoft Build), the American software giant has shown the public a detailed preview of the new and future operating system: Windows 8. Microsoft took the opportunity to highlight not only the new features that will characterize the future operating system, but also introduced new tools that help developers write applications for the Windows environment.

"We redesigned Windows," said Steven Sinofsky, president of Windows and Windows Live at Microsoft, during his keynote. "From the experience with the use chipsets, Windows 8 brings important new features without compromise”, the spokesman continued corporate.
The new features that Microsoft has decided to show at the conference range from the graphic interface improvements, the new way to manage applications.

In addition, this element is supported by an optimized browser: Internet Explorer, the 10 places the content in the foreground, to facilitate end-user interaction.
The operating system Microsoft web log offers new ways to interact with the applications: the utility, developed to interface Metro, promises a user experience better, full screen, so no distractions. But not all. The application should in Windows 8, in fact, communicate with each other. For example, you will be so emails and photos from different places, whether it is Face book or Flicker, or your hard drive.
Windows 8 comes, therefore, a unique software platform that adapts not only to PCs, as has been until now, but also for smart phones and tablet. The end user will be so, always in his work environment. Sky Drive allows you to manage all data in the cloud more important to have them always at hand.
