?Desktop:

One of the most stunning features of Win8 is its 3-D Desktop. An option in the Windows Dock enables you to convert the 2-D desktop to 3-D desktop and vice-versa. As the Desktop now gets a cubic shape, you can move and pin the explorer Window on any face of the cube.  In addition to this its Highly transparent Taskbar and Start Menu, make the desktop pleasanter than its preceding version.  Multi-desktop feature is an additional plus to this OS.  Rest of its features are similar to its former version.

 

Icons:


Explorer Window:

The Explorer Window’s appearance resembles that of a perfect frosted Glass, with small, pretty navigation buttons. Similar to Win7, windows of similar nature ‘ll be grouped under a single tab in the taskbar and you can Shift between the very easily.

??????

Additional Features:

It is expected that MS Office 2014 ‘ll be the office package of Win8.  IE 10 ‘ll be replacing its former version – IE 9. Windows 8  is considerably faster than its predecessor. It offers cool new games and tools.

System Requirements:

To have a fruitful experience with Windows 8, your system must have the following requirements. The following list is not officially declared by Microsoft. It is only a prediction by the tech brainiacs.

Motherboard – Asus P5GC-MX Intel 945 chipsetProcessor – Intel Dual CoreRAM – 2 GB @ 1333 MhzHard drive – 250 GBOptical Drive – 20x DVD Writer

Release Date: This anticipated OS of Microsoft is expected to hit the markets by Jan 2013. Of course its Beta and other preliminary versions can be found in the markets at present. However, the completely designed version ‘ll be available only in the year 2013.

This version will even transform the Windows haters to Windows-phillic beings. Let the Anticipation Begin!!!!!
