Microsoft unveils final preview of Windows 8

Jun 1, 1:39 pm

Washington, June 1 (ANI): Software giant Microsoft has unveiled the final preview of its much-awaited new operating system Windows 8.

The new software includes an interface primarily for tablet computers, which Microsoft calls Metro, as well as an enhanced version of the existing Windows 7.

Gabriel Aul, Director of Windows Programme Management, said that the released preview software was "all of what will be in the final product in terms of big features".

He, however, added that colours and themes were yet to be finalized, The Telegraph reports.

According to the paper, the new software is designed to work as well on tablets as on traditional computers, and will replace Microsoft Windows 7, which has sold 525 million copies since it was released three years ago.

In the new version, Microsoft has redesigned the traditional 'Start' button, replacing it with a much more angular design that changes colour depending on which theme a user chooses. (ANI)
