Microsoft
windows XP has successfully completed 10 years of glory and is still
the top used Operating System on desktops. It gained a lot of popularity
as soon as it was launched. Then came Windows Vista. Well, Microsoft
itself agreed that it was a terrible operating system. Learning from the
mistakes done in developing Vista, Microsoft released Windows 7. It is
fast, reliable, secure, all-in-all a great OS, which covered the
downfall of windows Vista pretty much.
But over these years, technology has changed a lot. Microsoft had to do something extraordinary to compete with so many categories of computers (phones, tablets, ultrabooks, etc) gaining popularity into the market.
Microsoft started developing an OS that is not only had to be better that its predecessor in every aspect, but it should also be compatible with various devices present in the market. Windows 8 comes into action.
On September 14th, Microsoft released a Windows Developer preview for its new OS. It starts blowing your mind as soon as you start your PC. It takes about 8 seconds to boot. And by 8 seconds, i mean after 8 seconds, you will be able to use the desktop with its full functionality.
The start screen is completely changed. Yes, the start menu is gone ! It is replaced by a screen which contains Metro-Style apps in form of tiles, which can also display the app information, for example, game tiles tells you the scores, news tile shows the current news in brief etc.
There are two sides of Windows 8 Developer preview, one is the start screen, with the metro-style apps, which is more suitable for touchscreen products or tablets. The other side is the normal windows desktop which we are familiar with. Both are well integrated with each other.
I have been using Windows Developer Preview for some time now and I have to say, there’s a lot of work done by Microsoft in both the aspects of this OS. You can find it for yourself.
It is available for public download at :

Note: The development is still in progress, so there may be bugs in the OS, please take a backup of all your important data before continuing with the installation.
