How do you reckon Windows 8 Operating System?

The information in the series of leaks regarding presentations on Windows 8 offers a complete insight not only into the things Microsoft Corporation wishes to accomplish by launching Windows 8 but also about how it develops plans to try about developing and lauching the next Windows version.

The Microsoft Corporation clearly appears to follow much the same idea or blueprint it tried with before launching Windows 7 Operating System [i.e.] speaking sufficiently early with all computer makers but disclosing next to empty or nothing publicly until Microsoft is sure about what it will be able to deliver or launch. Unfortunately, the so called leaked documents of Microsoft have thrown a bit of a rock or wrench in the said plan.

It is said that while there is a quite possibility to learn by going through the so called leaked Windows 8 launching or planning documents, it may be wrong to finally conclude that Windows 8 will be the product of all those PowerPoint presentations which were described in the leaked documents.

Microsoft Corporation has a brief history of finalizing almost all Windows products that may be very different from their initial avatars / incarnations. For example, Windows Vista, was made a significantly deviated, differently designed operating system from the original so called Longhorn plan as declared / unveiled by Microsoft at the 2003 Professional Developers conference. There is also a possibility that the group in Redmond also may finally have a trick or two, up its sleeves which may not be the part of these documents or leaks, which were concluded to be a starting or making point for a critical dialogue with all computer makers rather than a new features list for it's customers.

To peep in to the Windows 8 details leaked or outlined in the presentation are plans are there for a design of Windows Store, where the consumers can go directly to buy a P.C. software.

In some of the slides, that were presented during the time of a forum with some of the P.C. and hardware manufacturers, Microsoft has even noted that, although they like input on which ideas to pursue, there has been already "more ideas than there is time to use or implement them."

Still, such documents offer the crystal clear look into how Microsoft is pondering about the next major release of Windows Operating System. For making a recap, the leaked documents clearly outlines a few key and important areas of focus for the next Windows Operating System that includes a focus insisted upon improvement in boot timing, simplicity and easy to use along with some of the changes aimed to make Windows Operating System to be more power efficient and to a larger extent simpler to manage. There are some specific details available like plans for a Windows P.C. store as well as plans for de-emphasizing support for FireWire & TV Tuners simultaneously increasing support for the location-based services.

By launching Windows 8, Microsoft Corporation finally wishes to have a best competitive answer to some of the tablet devices viz., Apple's iPad and also to forward build on some of the features which made Windows 7 popular on traditional Personal Computers. Microsoft Corporation clearly wishes to create a awareness or room for P.C. manufacturers to stand out independently from one another, with confidence to work with individual computer manufacturers to support new features such as 3-D or like wireless displays.

Turning to the power side, Microsoft Corporation wishes to do a lot better with reference to both starting up time of a Windows 8 computer as well it's resuming from sleep, both having been a longtime challenges with Windows Operating System use, particularly over some time as more and more applications and services are attempted to load at startup during booting the system.

The leaked documents also clearly show Microsoft Corporation is trying to toy with the idea of using a Webcam as one of the broader input devices, which may lead to potentially using Webcam for face recognition and to authenticate users and also for sensing whether the user is actually at their computer or not and putting the system mechanically to sleep when the user just walks away.

Therefore, how did we anticipate the information to be true in the leaked documents? The leaked documents said to have appeared and which were prepared for Hewlett-Packard and most of them are dated during April 2010. They appeared earlier this month for download on a Windows enthusiast site. Some of the first few articles based on the documents were a June Month posting in Microsoft Journal and a well timed story during Monday in Microsoft Kitchen.

The said Microsoft Journal post and that complete blog, were taken down completely,apparently for having violated Microsoft's terms of service (it may be recalled the said site is hosted on Windows Live Spaces). Let us assume the such a request to take down the site might have came from somewhere deep inside Microsoft Corporation, that might appear to be a direct information or confirmation that the documents are clearly a genuine ones. For this argument, the Microsoft Corporation has neither refused to confirm publicly, nor denied the leakages.

But it is clear that Microsoft Corporation has no intention of any sort of talking about publicly Windows 8 Operating System anytime soon. It has decided to have neither a Windows Hardware Engineering Conference nor a Professional Developers Conference during this year and most of the executives have observed that the major focus for all of 2010 will be on Windows 7 Operating System.

Finally, with the said leaked documents, we the customers get a lot more of information about what the Windows manufacturing team has been trying up to and not alone with regards to Windows 8. The leaked documents also displays a perfect timetable for both "Windows Live" and "Internet Explorer 9". According to the leaked documents, "Windows Live Wave 4", which was in beta, was scheduled for a final release in August, while Internet Explorer 9 is expected to release beta during September, which have happened.

The leaked documents also discuss indepth, a significant "air coverage" marketing campaign which were planned for 2010 holidays designed to beat the trumpet about the combination of Windows 7 Operating System and the new Windows Live, earlier Microsoft did indicated for planning to do.
