San Francisco: The Windows Division president, Steven Sinofsky revealed another glimpse of the successor to Windows 7 technology, which is code named Windows 8. The introductory speech by Sinofsky mentioned that now windows will be re-engineered to provide the ultimate performance, he also added that the new version of the OS will be able to operate independent of the device in use. The new windows operating system is designed to work on mobile phones, tablets, slates and PC's alike.
"We have made the operating system to a gem by adding a ribbon of commands that were not familiar to non-power users of Windows and will be available in the form of commands" Sinofsky mentioned. "Windows has provided its users the first feel of desktop and here we had improved on the most used software in Windows (besides Solitare) and made it more powerful" he added on his blog.
The windows explorer is expected to be much more advanced than the previous versions and it will also include Internet explorer 10 which is also said to play major part. The OS will also be using touch tiles instead of icons for navigation and opening of applications, which is a feature derived from WinOS.
Sinofsky also added that more features will be revealed in the upcoming developers conference in Anaheim, California, opening on September 13.
The first preview was provided on June, the programming head of this project is Alex Simmons.
