Leaked Slides Show Windows 8 Roadmap
Jun 29th
Prototype Windows machine, Apple references and a product cycle. Heard of Windows 8 yet?
Leaked slides spread all over the internet give us an internal look at Windows 8 and the road map that Microsoft is laying out. While Microsoft declined to comment on the presentation’s authenticity, the slides seem to be authentic and are full of information about Windows 8.
Some of the prominent features that can be taken from the slides are that Windows 8 has the iPad’s instant on ability; “Windows 8 PCs turn on fast, nearly instantly in some cases, and are ready to work without any long or unexpected delays” one slide says. There are also very interesting pictures of a prototype Windows 8 machine that looks like an Apple desktop and included are specifications and hardware capabilities.
