REDMOND, Wash. – June 1, 2011 – 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 reimagining 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.
Itu ialah petikan ringkas dari laporan Julie Larson-Green (Corporate Vice President, Windows Experience). Nampaknya Microsoft kini kearah pembangunan teknologi skrin sentuh. Pelbagai pembaharuan dilakukan pada antaramuka code-name Windows 8 ini.
Pembaharuan yang akan didapati dalam projek terkini seperti:
- Fast launching of apps from a tile-based Start screen, which replaces the Windows Start menu with a customizable, scalable full-screen view of apps.
- Live tiles with notifications, showing always up-to-date information from your apps.
- Fluid, natural switching between running apps.
- Convenient ability to snap and resize an app to the side of the screen, so you can really multitask using the capabilities of Windows.
- Web-connected and Web-powered apps built using HTML5 and JavaScript that have access to the full power of the PC.
- Fully touch-optimized browsing, with all the power of hardware-accelerated Internet Explorer 10.
Pembangunan ini tidak akan mengulang kejadian semasa pelancaran Windows Vista, Windows 8 diwarwarkan bahawa akan menyokong Windows 7 dan sebaliknya.
Walaupun pembangunan code-name Windows 8 lebih kearah pembangunan teknologi skrin sentuh, ia masih sesuai dengan penggunaan keyboard dan mouse tradisional.
BUILD (Sept. 13 - 16 in Anaheim, Calif.) preview.
