Every so often, we get a tidbit of information from Microsoft about Windows 8, the version of Windows to supersede Windows 7.
Here are some of the latest things we've found out, courtesy of ZDNet's Microsoft expert, Mary-Jo Foley:
More on Windows 8's new refresh and reset options
These are two new recovery features which should greatly ease restoring Windows.
More on Windows 8's coming drive-extender-style storage
This is a new feature that would allow you to combine all of your various storage devices into one virtual drive.
Windows 8: What we learned this week [at CES]
Lots of fun bits of information in this one, mostly cool Windows-8-on-a-tablet features.
Enjoy!
Can’t help to compare it with the mobile version of windows. So far so good. Can’t wait for the final release.
@Rodrigo Diniz: I’m not sold yet. We’ll see. I don’t see a lot of excitement for it on the desktop, laptop, or netbook, but it could be a hit for tablets. Time will tell.
Just like any new operating system that Microsoft has put out, probably best to wait at least until service pack 1 before migrating to it on any critical system. Some people like to play with betas and I have myself, but generally I stay away from them now.
Which features does this Windows 8 have and Windows 7 doesn’t have?
@Marcus Thomas: That’s not completely clear quite yet but here is a good list of expected changes.
