Microsoft to launch 'Windows 8' by 2012


The software giant Microsoft is likely to launch its all-new operating system 'Windows 8' by 2012. Calling the Windows 8 as "a re-imagining of Windows, from the chip to the interface", Microsoft unveiled its so called 'next generation operating system' for the first time at Build Conference in California.

Windows 8 is completely designed and optimized for touch, where a user will be able to scale from touch-only small screens at the large screens. Despite the facts that the interface comes with so many features, a user can also access Windows 8 with or without a keyboard and mouse.

Although the new interface is implemented with the all new Metro UI, the standard capabilities of Windows viz., Windows Explorer, Desktop, Internet Explorer and many more remains the same and also as does compatibility with all Windows 7 PCs, software and peripherals.

The applications of Windows 8 are powered by HTML5, using standard JavaScript and HTML that delivers a new kind of experience for its users. The applications of this new interface are full-screen, touch-optimized and are easy to access.

The so called next generation operating system can be used with an extensive set of new controls and libraries. Apps in this interface are designed for fluid interaction and smooth connectivity. These apps can add new capabilities to Windows and other apps as well, by connecting one another through the Windows 8. It has also come to light that this new interface may also include 3D support.

The Microsoft's Windows 8 will be available from tablets to laptops, desktops, large displays as well.

Have a look at few of the features of the Windows 8:

1) New 'Start Screen' is one of the cool features of Windows 8, where it has replaced the old tile-based Start screen with a new customised full-screen view of all the apps. It also enable the user to scroll various apps side-to-side.

2) Another feature of Windows 8 is "On screen keyboard", that appears as a pop-up with a scroll of the thumb. It is very easy to access and is much similar to a normal keyboard. Despite this feature, the Windows 8 can also be access with a physical keyboard and mouse.

3) One of the best features of the Windows 8 is its "Multi-Tasking" ability. A user can view more than two windows or apps by simply dragging them together.

4) Latest Internet Explorer 10 with Fully touch-optimized browsing.

5) Up-to-date information from the apps with live notifications.

6) One can easily multitask with its abilities to snap and resize an app to the side of the screen.

7) Since Windows 8 is powered with HTML5 and JavaScript, it provides super fast Web-connectivity to the PC.

how to code an HTML5 template

  Markup is a beautiful thing, and it certainly has changed over the years. What was effectively HTML1, has certainly progressed to an amazing semantic markup language, to which we can largely thank the W3C. And, what do ya know, the next thing to thank them for has come about – HTML5. Unlike previous version of HTML, where the code was mostly a limited structure that was determined by how you made use of the class and ID elements, html5 really attempts to provide much more structure. All of the layout can be created with semantic tags and elements that determine how you should structure, and, arguably more important, that help you structure each page. This produces code that is much more clean and readable than in previous versions of HTML, and really is something quite amazing. The new tags really require that you think about how you are structuring your page, which let’s be honest – in the end that is a great thing for us web designers and develop...
