Now just recently in California conference, in which Microsoft executives have a lot of news regarding the company's products for developers eager to source new. The ball is the time Windows 8, the next version of the operating system that probably will not be called "Windows 8."
In summary, the MS releases the first version of today Win8 for developers.
Windows Developer Preview 8 is available today through the night of the Dev Center site, which is part of MSDN, the Microsoft Developer Network. The company promises that developers will have very easily to create visual applications with Metro (the same as Windows 7 Phone) using combinations of HTML5 and JavaScript, C and C + + and C # and XAML.
Of course they are mainly touting the use of JavaScript and HTML 5 - would be a quick and convenient way, using the same language now widely available on the Internet to build truly functional applications.

The demonstration of Windows 8 shows some good news. Start the system takes a few seconds (less than 8 seconds, so they say) devices with UEFI boot. Without relying on the hibernation feature, according to information provided by Microsoft executives.
A monitor activities showed that even when applying the system goes into hibernation, there is a sharp drop in the use of processing, but Windows still uses 8 a certain amount of resources to give applications a chance to save their sessions when the system is reactivated. And then we have a Windows that yes, back to normal activities from Hibernation takes up open applications quickly.
The login screen has been modified. Instead of typing complex passwords, users have the option of placing a 4-digit PIN to unlock the computer running Windows 8. In addition to traditional passwords with alphanumeric characters, the development team of Windows also adds that the login Developer Preview for images - similar to designs that are quite common on devices running Android.
Visual Metro
The big bet for Microsoft Windows are 8 monitors with touchscreen technology. Instead of using mouse and keyboard to control the machine, the Windows interface is being shaped for users to mess your fingers on the screen. Just as in tablets and smartphones today.
Kind of setting guidelines for future applications, Microsoft says it expects full-screen apps and simple controls for Windows 8. Applications that take advantage of the visual format Metro, similar to that found in Windows Phone 7.
Windows 8: viewing files stored on your computer
As in the Android
One of the features not previously specified the Metro are the sides of the monitor. She is sensitive to touch - when the user is on the right or left of the screen, discovers a series of buttons that usually are hidden in Windows 8.
By tapping the corner from the left, the user has the option to choose to open another application on your computer. In the corner on the right are the options for running application: search, share, Start menu, devices, and settings. Much like the radio button present in Android or Windows Phone.
For those addicted to productivity, good news: when using two monitors connected in the same PC, the user can run the Metro in one eye and conventional desktop Windows, just like we see in Windows 7, the second monitor (or vice versa).
Only examples
Interestingly, all applications submitted will not be sold in Build. They serve only as an example to show the potential of the operating system, according to Steven Sinofsky, the head of Microsoft's Windows division. Unlike Apple, which usually includes apps on their systems, Microsoft apparently (emphasis on apparently) will allow developers to take advantage of those resources to create competitive apps for Windows 8.
Windows 8 will work on both x86 and x64. In addition, Microsoft ensures that the system runs fine on ARM, although it demands more specific information for each device that is using the system.
