We have talked about a lot of rumors around the new Microsoft Windows OS, such us “how is Windows 8 going to look like?”, “Windows 8 new features”, and the possibility to include its own app store. Finally, Steven Sinofsky (Windows President) gave the first official preview of Windows 8 at the D9 conference, in California. Let’s take a closer look at this new Windows interface.

Many rumors are spreading throughout the Internet about how the next generation Windows operating system will incorporate its own app store. In this way, Microsoft would be jumping into the app stores wagon once again but this time with its desktop OS. Apparently, this Windows 8 feature is confirmed by the presence of certain elements deep within the leaked builds of the latest Windows operating system.

With all the excitement surrounding the leaked Windows 8 build and the enthusiasm to see the new features firsthand, many internauts are desperate to get their hands on the latest ISO of the Windows operating system. That’s why many of them are downloading almost any file labeled as Windows 8 without even checking the source from which that ISO is coming from. Needless to say, this practice is unsafe, to say the least.

Keeping something secret in today’s world it’s practically an impossible mission. Many projects are being worked in computers, which are connected to the Internet and which, incidentally, can be accessed by someone remotely who can take all that data away. Nobody’s safe. Not even Microsoft. That’s how the latest major product of the Redmond company got leaked. And that’s how we all come to learn the first Windows 8 features, hacked from the Windows Registry itself.

There’s no doubt that Microsoft has improved its star operating system after the Windows Vista fiasco. The infamous Windows 7 proved to be the right bet to overcome Vista’s huge failure and it put Microsoft back on track in the OS world. However, no software is free from bugs and malfunctions and this version of windows operating system isn’t the exception. That’s why the Redmond company has released a new service pack for this product (as well as for the Windows Server 2008 R2) that fixes several of these issues.
