Windows 8 News

Microsoft is giving everyone gifts for Windows 8. These gifts are of course pre-installed applications that come with the default install of Windows 8. These are powerful tools that acknowledge & contribute to creativity and insight of Windows 8 users. The default tools within the Windows 8 install will be basic, but offer upgrades using micro payments to give you added bonuses and features.

Probably additional add-on third party tools can also be downloaded from a marketplace. I foresee anyone designing applications for Windows 8 will submit their projects to this Windows 8 3rd party marketplace.  Will this be gladly accepted? We think so. Windows 8 will offer the community videos to learn these new tools, inspire you to create powerful projects! The true gift of Windows 8 is helping you learn, making you an artist!

Hopefully this dream doesn’t get destroyed and we end up with a smaller less innovative push into the future with Windows 8.

What is our responsibility to our audience? Our job is provoke you into asking hard questions. Make you think! Of course, we’ll continue to focus on Windows 8!

What makes Windows 8 worth talking about? It touches us all and we fear the unknowns of what Windows 8 will change! Will it make us faster and more flexible? Will it be hard to learn? Can I use Windows 8 for entertainment? Will it change my life by removing everyday tasks?

All these questions we are looking to answer for Windows 8, like a TV episode of Lost! We are dying for some Windows 8 answers! The best response we can offer right now is Microsoft takes moves very slowly on designing something new. They come up with great ideas and hold off on implementing those ideas, I’d assume the same will be done with Windows 8. Security gets improved, the graphical user interface changes a little bit, just enough that you love the new packaging and want to buy it! Windows 8 will be Windows 7 with a patch.

What else is worth talking about Windows 8? The design process! The thoughts behind the architecture! Do they think like the end users or the developer? Will Windows 8 be worth its weight in gold? What justifies the increase in prices?

Basically we are all looking to be impressed with Windows 8 in our own form. We want overkill for everything! Good luck Microsoft, we’ll help you with ideas.

How do you judge success? What are you judging the success of Windows 8 on? I often hear: Ease of usage, fewer clicks, better software or cooler games. Almost everything lies on the graphical interface and software that works well with the operating system. Lately, you have the average user who wants it to just function, and the developer who wants freedom to develop. What will Windows 8 provide? Read the rest of this entry »

Windows 8 planning stage will make the difference between good and great, yet they let few know how they structure the process! Tell the people what they should hear: that Microsoft is working hard and remains much focused on the task! If the management team takes the time, turns off the electronics, and just gets together and thinks I think they could change the world with Windows 8, like Windows 95 did.

With the slow economy and fights at all costs to be more frugal definitely doesn’t help evolve new ideas, just improve efficiency. Does the Windows 8 meditate on new ideas, push away the pains of corporate reality and just ignore everyone not on the team? We are time-starved, competitive, and the distractions within the workplace are great challenges. How does Microsoft go about isolating the Windows 8 decision makers? I can only imagine that the politics are amazing. Read the rest of this entry »

Chief Architect Ray Ozzie, best known for his role in creating Lotus Notes, is scheduled to be the main presenter this morning at PDC 2009 in Los Angeles. What can we dig up about Windows 8?
