According to the report, people inside Microsoft reveal that Microsoft expects to demonstrate the new Windows 8 tablet design in the upcoming June.
It is said that Microsoft will probably adopt the way similar to Apple and employ the "Metro" interface concept it develops for Windows Phone 7. Ironically the interface comes from the media center interface which is developed for Windows XP. But this kind of interface can be seen and controlled beyond 10 feet. As a result, "Metro" interface is made use of with touch screen.
However, there is news against the rumor that Microsoft is accelerating the development of new operating system, meanwhile, it points out that Windows 8 tablet will not launch until 2012. Although Microsoft is working hard on developing the ARM version of Windows, it can not make sure the work will be done as scheduled.
Most observers expect the first beta of Windows 8 will be released in September 2011, but according to precedent Microsoft will release another one or more version after the first beta. Microsoft has been clung to the principle that sophisticated workmanship makes a fine product, therefore, the official release of Windows will be at the end of 2012, the third year after Window 7 release.
Windows is trying to gain more recognition on tablet computer, but its market share has obviously lagged behind Android and Apple operating system.
