The Update: Windows 8

With Windows 8 right around the corner coming out on October 26th, and the RTM already out, a leaked version has already hit the internet. So, what do we know about this new Windows 8? Well, here’s a few things we already know.\

1. You can’t bypass the new ‘Metro’ screen, not yet at least.

Why god, why?

2. A new feature for Dekstop users, called File History, where you can back up your Libraries, Desktop, Favorites and Contacts folders to a external device.

3. A new version of Windows Movie maker and Windows photo gallery for Windows 7 and 8

4. Windows 8 will be good for gaming, as long as it’s microsoft style. Basically, according to this article Microsoft is trying to cut out Steam and orgin, by making it so you need to sell your games through the Windows store thing. Steam does work on windows 8, but not all the games do.

So a little bad, and a little good. We’ll see how it plays out as Windows 8 is released, and the general public gets their hands on it.
