Dedoimedo takes a look at the Windows 8 Developer Preview



By now, you have probably read three million articles previewing the upcoming Windows release, so you might not feel keen about reading this one, too. Still, if you're in for an unbiased and totally professional review of Windows 8, do read on.

Anyhow, Microsoft decided to allow everyone to download and free-sample their new release, known as Windows Developer Preview. The name implies it's somewhat of a pre-beta, unsuitable for common users, but it's bread and butter for geeks. The operating system comes with the new tile-based user interface, called Metro, although you still have the classic Windows looks if you want them. There ought to be many other improvements under the hood, including a heavy emphasis on security and making sure there is no bloat. In other words, if your machine can run Windows 7, it ought to run Windows 8 just as well. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Enough talking, let's take a look.
