Announced as a multi-platform operating system, Windows 8 is, as the title says, Microsoft's biggest bet yet. The use of two different visual interfaces within the OS sure makes it interesting but also raises a few questions: are 2 different UI's really needed? will the users use them both in equal measure? is the Metro UI a viable alternative to the classic interface? From past experience with the Windows Phone 7 interface, you could say that using this tiled UI might not be the best choice, but Microsoft keeps insisting on us to use it. Could this be a game changer? Only time will tell.
Besides the new UI, Windows 8 sure promises a lot and better memory management is just one of its strong points, being said that it can run with 64 and 128 MB of RAM. In addition it's great portability to different devices it makes it a great choice for all your gadgets. Better file management and USB 3.0 support are two more great features to look for in the upcoming OS, which have been scheduled for release in late 2012. We are also waiting anxiously for to see more of the Windows 8 official wallpapers, but until then you can delight yourself with a compilation of unofficial Windows 8 wallpapers and the developer preview which can be download free of charge (and run until March 2012) from Microsoft.
