Windows 8 Launch Could Be Big

The new Start screen and Metro-style interface will be contentious, sparking a backlash among some longtime Windows users. Other users will love the fresh new look and feel. Most important, the operating system will undoubtedly inspire a major surge in PC purchases, and an enormous marketing push from Microsoft and its partners.

When a new consumer release of Windows hits the market, the whole industry responds. Schedules shift. Deadlines move. New brands launch, and old brands retire. From what we've seen so far, Windows 8 looks to be a much bigger launch than the last few Windows releases, so you can expect a glut of new laptops, desktops, and all-in-ones set to debut together with Microsoft’s new operating system.

We don't have a release date right now, but given that Windows 8 hasn't yet had a public beta test and Microsoft's OSs generally take about nine months to go from the first beta to store shelves, you can expect a late-summer or fall release.

Windows 8 puts a large emphasis on providing a first-class touch interface, without sacrificing good old-fashioned keyboard and mouse use. That means a better user experience on touchscreen-equipped laptops, so expect to see more of those machines on the market.

It will also support ARM-based processors for the first time, so we may even see hybrid laptops that run on a full-power Intel or AMD chip most of the time, but offer a detachable tabletlike display with an ARM processor for those occasions when you need longer laptop battery life ,such as Dell NKDWV battery,Dell 312-9955 battery,Dell 0F965N battery,Dell C601H battery,and greater portability instead of a keyboard and touchpad.
