Microsoft’s Windows chief, Steven Sinofsky, took to the stage at All Things Digital’s D9 conference on Wednesday.

Sinofsky unveiled a taste of Windows 8 to the world, system-on-a-chip devices running Windows 8. Thisismynext.com posted a picture of Microsoft’s immersive interface running on one of the on stage demo units just before Sinofsky’s talk on Wednesday. Microsoft has revealed a number of details of its new interface for Windows 8 to All Things Digital. Windows 8 supports two types of applications, classic desktop Windows apps and HTML5 web apps. Windows 8′s new interface uses Internet Explorer 10 as the heart to power several widget style applications for checking the weather, stocks etc. Microsoft’s new start screen includes easy touch icons to allow users of touch based devices to easily navigate Windows.

“We really did take a step back after Windows 7,” Sinofsky said to All Things Digital. “We were clearly influenced ourselves by phones.” Microsoft has also improved its classic Windows desktop look and feel to enable users to touch it more easily. The company wants classic applications, designed for mice and keyboard input, to work well with touch.

WinRumors has previously written about Microsoft’s Immersive tablet experience. The UI (see screenshots) will be driven by Microsoft’s Metro based design language. Microsoft will include a new application model codenamed “Jupiter” that will allow developers to create web based applications, deployed as AppX packages (.appx). The packages will be part of a new Windows application store, pre-installed with Windows 8.

Sinfosky also revealed that Windows 8 will not require any additional hardware requirements above and beyond Windows 7. The operating system will run on both Intel and AMD chips. The company is calling it Windows 8 for now but considered a number of codenames, including Firestorm.

顶一个，不信人们对windows如此淡漠了

看engadget 说win8 对硬件要求很和win7一样，到时硬件不用升级就可以安装win8

反对触摸屏，支持键盘

degra

据介绍这个界面是大小通吃的， 触摸屏，键盘， 鼠标，desktop， laptop，tablet。 x86和arm 版都有。

通用的意味着体积大，效率低，容易出错。。。

作为普通消费者，我最大的希望就是系统能稳定运行

期待一下windows平板和手机。android和ios可以去喝西北风了

体积肯定会针对不同平台而瘦身的， 不可想象 tablet 和desktop 版本是一用体积
windows 系统已经很稳定了把， 起码我的经验是 win7比我的mac os 10.5/6 稳定.

老杏

是比原来好多了，只是今天碰到了1年多来第一个蓝屏，让我回想起了以前的系统。。。

大概等什么时候软件都有64位的就更稳定些？

能用 windows 程序吗

degra

我的mac book pro 经常‘醒不来’，需要power off， 有时莫名其妙的长时间显示这个

蓝屏多半是硬件引起得。

Win８里对OEM得硬件有很多限制，主要就是为了改善这一点
