When Apple makes many and
flagrant similarities between iOS and Mac OS X Lion, Microsoft decides to
follow this genius strategy. In fact, we can observe many similarities (in the
interface model design domain) between Windows 8 and Windows Phone 7. Microsoft will
offer to Windows 8 users the option of working with a new Metro interface to make
the user life easier (more addictive ?). This version gives primordial
importance to multitasking options. It presents widgets and it is very similar
to mobile operating systems Fashion (especially iOS and Android),
useful, powerful and simple at the same time. In the official Windows 8's blog,
this option was officially and implicitly confirmed, described as "fast
and fluid".
Although this version, or
this new design of Windows 8 is convenient, Microsoft will surely offer the
traditional desktop version of Windows as an alternative. So orthodox people
can also easily work with a familiar interface. Some experts have the
impression that this Metro Desktop will be the default desktop when you install
Windows 8 on your computer...
A new functionality, the "Windows App
Store". The name haven't been confirmed yet, but the app was officially
announced. Apple released the Mac App Store for Mac OS X Lion which have been a
success in many ways. Windows is interested in the fact that "Having a
Store can improve user experience", and if this store will know a success,
this will assure better future to the anterior versions of Windows. Notice that
this is not the first trial of Windows, who already tried to launch an
"App Store" in the past, which has been a failure. Notice also that year
after year growth Mac OS X Lion increased by 28% but PCs decreased by 1% and a
few days ago, Windows was below the 90% bar. So Windows 8 is a deal for Microsoft !
I can wait to see that.. Even if i hate windows phone, i think that i'll love metro interface,!
ReplyDeleteWill it be available for iMac??
ReplyDeleteUmm,.. I prefer the desktop traditional disposition.. Thanks for this post !
ReplyDelete@Andrew microsoft hasn't confirmed yet. But normally, Windows 8 for Mac (iMac included) will be published with the PC version. Thanks for commenting this article !
ReplyDeleteamazing! microsoft is taking windows8 to a new level.. it will be awesome if there was no viruses in windows but it's very difficult.. in the domain of security, mac os x lion and linux are irreproachable..
ReplyDeletepersonally i think that i'd like this interface.. but i don't think that it will be a success ...

ReplyDeletewhy they created this interface and don't put the traditional interface as default ?
ReplyDeleteAmazing! Good news..
ReplyDeletei can't wait to see that....... when will windows 8 be available ?
ReplyDelete@Anonymous (September 7, 7:31) Microsoft wanted to make the user life easier, and at the same time more powerful by increasing Windows functionality (Did Microsoft imitated the similarity between Mac OS X Lion and iOS (from Apple) ?). So Windows Metro Desktop is very similar to Windows Phone 7 user interface... The easy and fluid usage of this version makes of it the default desktop, but this news wasn't confirmed. This is only a rumor.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous (September 9, 8:50) We don't know exactly when Windows 8 will be published and unveiled, but probably very soon because the Mac App Store and Mac OS X Lion (very powerful operating system) are growing very fast. Microsoft don't want to be late, like Windows Vista for example. So Windows 8 might be available in a few weeks, or months, but surely before 2012, we think.
