Microsoft Windows 8 Beta version has been launched

Windows 8 incorporates elements of the Windows Phone into a tablet and desktop setting. Specifically, it largely does away with the standard PC interface in favor of an interactive application web. These applications are displayed as tiles rather than icons and can be customized to, say, show your music, calendar, local weather, investments, and photographs all in one condensed segment – an approach that has been labeled a “Metro” software style.

The new operating system can be used with phones, laptops, tablets, and PCs, and it will automatically use cloud computing to synch profiles between all these devices. But analysts believe that the system is largely targeted – and will find its greatest success – on the tablet platform. After all, the Microsoft Phone already boasts a similar interface and the Windows 7 operating system is popular enough that few users will see the need to upgrade. Some commentators have further questioned whether consumers are ready for such a large-scale overhaul of PC desktops in the first place.

After an initial demonstration of underwater new terminal, expectations have changed, but for other producers.

At first glance, Eluga, his name very unusual and not very exciting, seems just another smartphone based on Google Android. The phone has a very simple design, virtually free of any decorations. The back includes an eight megapixel camera enclosed in a square, but otherwise the machine is perfectly linear, there is no element to highlight it. Construction is, as you can see the videos below, very solid, and the phone fails to handle situations such havoc almost any competitor. Overall, I was extremely impressed with the new strength and hope as soon all manufacturers to adopt similar systems construction and sealing.
