An Italian Windows web domain got its hand on a super secret and highly confidential power point presentation by Microsoft. The power point presentation revealed Microsoft’s plans and some features of the Windows 8, which the company is planning to build. Microsoft is now inclined towards making a Windows version with some good features for which the customers would really want to pay. The Windows 7 will be the successor of the Windows 8.
Microsoft’s internal plans indicate that the product will be marketed in 2012 but that can be delayed as we saw in the case of Windows Vista whose launch got delayed by a few months. The ideas for Windows 8, that were revealed in the powerpoint presentation that the Italian website got, are sure to bring remarkable changes. The key ideas Microsoft is upto put in their Windows 8 include fast bootup, face recognition and Windows app store.
The face recognition system will be integrated in the windows itself. It would be a better option rather than the orthodox method of user, password and guest. The Windows 8 will have the capability to recognize the person and take them directly to their account. However, this feature requires a webcam for this purpose and MS would surely be looking for a way to get it integrated in the best possible way.
Microsoft is also working on making Windows 8’s bootup as fast as possible. This will give instant on connectivity to the user. Currently Linux has the fastest bootup time of not more than 10 seconds. It would be fun to see the competetion of booting up, let’s see if Microsoft will be able to compete with Linux in terms of bootup speed.
Microsoft has also introduced the Windows App Store in the Windows 8. In the Windows app store, the user can look up for the latest and genuine applications for Windows and can buy them online. This feature is a good addition and will also help in stopping piracy. The ‘Windows Reset’ option will be used to backup the system in case of system failure. Upon system reinstall, the apps that the user had bought earlier can be reinstalled. This means that the apps you’ll buy from the Windows App Store will have the lifetime license.
Microsoft’s earlier version of the Windows, Windows Vista and Windows 8, were not preferred a lot like the Windows XP because of many reasons. Microsoft was put on backfoot twice as their expectations from the two Windows versions were let down. Now, Microsoft is ready to bang again possibly in 2012 with the new Windows 8. It has got more hopes from Windows 8 and want it to be as popular as Windows XP.

A lifetime license is a good deal, although with the way new apps keep coming all the time, you probably won’t want to stick with any given app for too long.
Face recognition is def. better than a password, but I worry about what happens when the webcam or the face recognition program malfunctions. Can you still get on to Windows 8 somehow?
Not to be overdramatic, but given the competition with Apple + Google, I think Microsoft’s future depends on Windows 8.
