Post by: mobaholic on June 30, 2010, 02:58:59 PM

Details of Microsoft's plans for its Windows 8 operating system has been leaked on the internet.

A PowerPoint document, allegedly part of a Microsoft presentation given to a Hewlett-Packard executive and dated April 2010, indicates that Windows 8 will include support for facial recognition technology and will be compatible with tablet computers.

The UK's Daily Telegraph reports that the source of the original leak has been removed from the internet, but tech blog
Microsoft Kitchen has posted a detailed analysis and screenshots of the presentation.

According to the leaked presentation, Microsoft is focusing on reducing the time it takes for Windows to start up time, as well as providing a one-touch restore button that will return the PC to its default settings without deleting any user information.

The Windows 8 OS will also come with Microsaoft Marketplace application store and the new internet Exporer 9 web browser.

Microsoft Window 8 is expected to be released in 2012.

Good news to listen!

As I read about face recognition in Windows 8, that is good idea to introduce in PC. But already these developments have been developed in computer technology, like Eye reading, and nose reading using certain high definition cameras to recognize the criminals, these sort of systems already are installed on airports and some investigation departments, Microsoft is not developing any thing new, only new in Windows! Still welcome as this is for common user ;)
