First Official Windows 8 Video By Microsoft

Yesterday, Microsoft published the very first demo video showcasing Windows 8 at the AllThings D9 event. The video shows the new tablet user interface that Windows 8 will ship with but it is expected that this will be also the standard interface for Desktop computers. One notable on Windows 8 interface is the similarity to Windows Phone design. The start screen replaces the windows menu and displays custom applications, like emails, weather reports, meeting or events and live notifications next to static contents. Here is the Windows 8 video that demonstrates the touch interface of the new operating system.



The touch interface will allow users to navigate Windows 8 the same way to navigate a Windows Phone. For example, you can browse photos by sliding your fingers in the screen like turning page. The video also showed the ability of Windows 8 to switch between the touch interface and the standard mouse and keyboard desktop.
