New added features of Windows 8

Windows 8 New Taskbar

This is a guess made by everyone, I suppose. In Windows 8, there are full chances that Microsoft includes a new Windows 8 taskbar. Just like Windows 7 had a new taskbar, though not entirely different than Windows Vista but then the new features made the customers / users of Windows 7 delighted. I am sure that in Windows 8 also, Microsoft adds a new feature.

No Compatibility Issues in Windows 8

The biggest reason that Windows Vista could never make it up to the mark of the sale it could have that, it was not compatible with many applications of Windows XP. I am sure there won't be any such problem and this will rather prove to be a Windows 8 new feature for the users.

Windows 8 – 128 Bit Operating System

Some people say that after the labor of 2 years, the Microsoft engineers will able to design a 128 bit Operating System which they will call Windows 8. Though it sounds impossible in one sense but it is also a rumor that Microsoft has allied with Intel to make 128 processors as soon as possible.

If this is a fact that Windows 8 is going to be a 128 bit operating system, then it will surely be a revolution in the operating system industry because no other operating system other than Windows 8 will be a 128 bit Operating System.

Windows 8 RAM support – 512 GB

When practicality goes hand in hand then Windows 7 64 bit edition supports 192 GB of RAM. According to that, if Windows 8 will be a 128 bit Operating system, then Windows 8 is surely going to support something around 512 GB of RAM, which I think would be a very big advantage for the server runners.

Windows 8 new looks

There is a rumor that the upcoming looks of Windows 8 are going to be something at which the users will become a fan just by seeing itself. I heard that some of the Windows 8 pictures were leaked on the net somehow. The Windows 8 new look can entirely be different than what it was in Windows 7 and Windows vista, with full change in the icon arrangement, program management, window flashback and Windows 8 taskbar.

Windows 8 Libraries

Windows 7 was full of new libraries in it. There may be many more such libraries in Windows 8 so as to enhance the Windows 8 new features functionality. The Windows 8 libraries might be able to include more functionality as well as security safeguards.

Windows 8 Security                                                 

Windows 7 became popular, far more popular than Windows Vista could ever become because of great security inclusions. Such security can also be called as Windows 8 security inclusions that mean that the Windows 8 people can also add new security inclusions and a better firewall to Windows 8.

                                                                                                                                                    

Microsoft CEO says Windows 8 will have touch optimizations.

                          
Microsoft Chief Executive Officer Mr. Ballmer said that Windows 8 which is the next-generation desktop operating system from Microsoft Corporation, certainly will have touch optimizations in future for a better tablet functionality. It is a big question that whether Microsoft Corporation will release touchscreen tablets which may run on Windows Phone 7 or not and it is still very much uncertain. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer who spoke in an event at London told that they will be presenting a Windows 7 tablet by the holidays / year end. It is certain that Microsoft's successful entry into the tablet market, which is mostly consumer-centric, would definitely place the Windows Operating system in competitive terms with some of the mobile operating systems offered by Apple and Google Inc.

However, the CEO of Microsoft declined to elaborate on the fact that if these tablets with Windows 7 would be available for consumers to purchase, or they will just be prototypes refined or may be pre-production models.
