It is still a long time before the final version of Windows 8 is released for the public. However, like what
Microsoft has done with
Windows 7, the company is also doing with
Windows 8 as they first released a developer preview version of it first and then the
consumer preview. Like Windows 7, the Windows 8
Developer Preview
had a lot of bugs and in a lot of cases, drivers weren’t available
either. However, when Microsoft released the consumer preview recently,
things were a little bit different.
A first impression of
Windows 8 would show that Microsoft has done a terrific job in revamping the UI of the operating system. In fact, it uses much of the
Metro UI found in
Windows Phone 7 devices and in a glance, it does look like an operating system made exclusively for
tablets. In some cases, that is exactly where Microsoft sees the future of personal computers would be.
As of date, those that are already using Windows 8 Developer Preview
can definitely update their OS to the newest version. A few things are
updated such as the Task Manager and a sidebar on which Microsoft calls
it charms. It is definitely an update worth doing as well.
