Not only the initial screen will be Windows 8. During the D9 conference, Microsoft unveiled the new Windows interface of the future, which was totally designed to be used on devices with touchscreen technology.
According to the company, these are some of the aspects that we can expect from Windows 8:
Interface with tiles and reporting information in real time applications, such as occurs in Windows Phone 7.
Switching between applications, including automatic resizing of images shown in photo applications and video.
Browser "fully optimized" to touch "with the power of hardware acceleration for Internet Explorer 10.
The company makes clear that the new splash screen, you can see from this post, will take the place of traditional desktop as we know. She will also sometimes start menu (one hell of a paradigm shift, no?).
In the demonstration, Microsoft made it clear that the Windows interface 8 is touch-oriented devices, but the conventional interface of Windows 7 will be available for those who want to use traditional applications that are not ready for this kind of data entry, as the Office (considering the 2010 version, to be clear).
The new interface will work with and without keyboard and mouse with and without. Microsoft hopes to install Windows 8 in laptops, desktops, like all-in-one, and even larger screens using oriented classrooms.

Watch below the video demonstration of Windows 8, released just minutes ago by Microsoft (in English).
It is worth remembering that this is the first time Microsoft goes public to show the new Windows interface of the future. Until now, the company had been doing a lot of mystery about what we should expect the next version of the most used operating system in the world.
Incidentally, note that in the footage above, the blur effect has been placed in certain parts of the wall. I wonder what MS is saving so important?
