Windows 8: A mix of everything?

April 4th, 2011 by Joseph Ruthaford

Microsoft has been dropping little tid bits that it wants Windows to be more like the Xbox, to do this it would support the Kinect sensor and using elements of the Xbox Live interface for people who want to play Windows-based games. But it is also looks like the Windows team has its phasers set to Office, Windows Phone and Windows Live. This is just one small little thing we can draw from about Windows 8 or whether ever the geniuses at Microsoft decide to name their next OS. From what has been leaked about this new OS is they are trying to add the most comprehensive OS to be more like the successful devices they already have out. Some have said that the OS has a welcome screen similar to that of the Windows phone. The explorer looks more like the Office bars which would replace the traditional menus and tool bars. Also another leak shows that your Windows Live ID can be incorporated into the OS. With all of these features in Windows 8 so far could only imagine what the first build will be like that they actually show to the public.
