'''Windows 8''' is a release of [[Windows|Microsoft Windows]], a family of operating systems developed by [[Microsoft]]. It was the successor to [[Windows 7]].<br />
<br />
== History/Features ==<br />
Development of Windows 8 started before the general availability of Windows 7.<br />
<br />
A Microsoft employee stated in his blog that Windows 8 will have the NT version number 7.0 and that the OS won't be shipped in a x86 version, but only as x64. However, the April 2011 leaks and PR from Microsoft indicated that the 32-bit Windows would continue and that the Windows 8 kernel version would be 6.2.<br />
<br />
Steve Ballmer calls Windows 8 his "riskiest product bet" due to the high success of Windows 7.<br />
<br />
At the CES 2011 in January 2011, a computer with an ARM processor was pictured running the "Windows 8" build 6.2.7867 showing that the kernel version had only changed to 6.2, most likely to keep compatibility with old software. It was determined to be an M2 build.<br />
<br />
Four builds of Windows 8 in its early Milestone stages have been leaked: 6.1.7850 (M1), 6.2.7927 (M2), 6.2.7955 (M2), 6.2.7959 (Post-M2/Pre-M3), and 6.2.7989 (M3). Rumors show that because of the leaks of 7850, 7955, and 7959, two Microsoft employees were terminated due to leaking confidential software.<br />
<br />
== New/Improved features ==<br />
# Immersive User Interface (referred to as ''Modern UI'', codenamed ''Metro'').<br />
# Start screen which incorporates the Modern design language and replaces the Start menu of previous Windows versions, making it more touch-friendly.<br />
# Internet Explorer 10 was introduced, which was also the first version to have a 'Metro' mode for touch-friendly usage. Adobe Flash was also bundled with Internet Explorer.<br />
# Modern versions of Mail, Calendar, People and Reader were introduced, some replacing their Windows 7 desktop equivalents. A camera app was also introduced.<br />
# Windows Explorer was renamed as File Explorer and the interface was changed to one based on the Ribbon system.<br />
# New [[Desktop Window Manager]] features, such as support for software rendering, and performance improvements.<br />
# File History, which automatically creates backups of files located across the system, was introduced.<br />
# Reset and Refresh options were introduced (the former re-installs Windows, while the latter retains settings and removes desktop applications)<br />
# Windows Store, which is a place where users can purchase and download Metro-based apps, was introduced.<br />
# Windows to Go was introduced for the Enterprise edition, which allowed users to carry Windows in a flash drive or a removable hard drive.<br />
# Task Manager was redesigned, now showing startup programs, average program use, and improved graphs.<br />
# File transfers were improved, now allowing users to pause a transfer. The file transfer speed can also be shown as a graph.<br />
# A new feature to improve boot times called Fast Boot was introduced, which significantly cut down on booting times.<br />
# USB 3 is now natively supported.<br />
# Snap was introduced, allowing 2 Metro apps to be on one screen together.<br />
# Battery life was improved.<br />
# Online integration was introduced in the form of Microsoft Account, allowing users to use that account to login in Windows.<br />
# Improved support for cellular connectivity.<br />
# Windows Defender was upgraded to support full antivirus protection, effectively replacing Microsoft Security Essentials.<br />
# The lock screen was redesigned.<br />
# Hyper-V is now available on 64-bit versions of Windows 8 Pro and Enterprise.<br />
# The Windows Start orb was changed into a blue flatter trapezium based theme.<br />
# Taskbar and window border colours can now be selected automatically.<br />
# A new installer was introduced, which reduced restart times and significantly quickened the installation time.<br />
== Features removed or degraded ==<br />
# The Start Menu (and the button) was removed, which created a huge backlash and could well be the biggest reason for the eventual failure of Windows 8.<br />
# Windows 8 can no longer use unified search as was possible with Windows 7; instead you must search categorically.<br />
# DWM is now on permanently and cannot be turned off, effectively removing themes such as the Classic and Aero Basic theme.<br />
# Translucency and blurring was lost in the windows as a flatter theme was introduced instead.<br />
# Metro apps require a minimum of 1024x768 and Snap required a minimum of 1366x768.<br />
# Windows 8 now requires NX, SSE2 and PAE extensions on the processor and needs it to be enabled.<br />
# Hyper-V requires SLAT for it to work on Windows 8.<br />

'''''Longhorn''''' was the codename for the planned successor of [[Windows XP]]. The project was reset and replaced with a new project - ''Longhorn Omega-13'' which was later renamed [[Windows Vista]]. Early builds of Windows Vista were often referred to as "Longhorn", causing confusion.<br />
<br />
One of the original - and largest - changes is that, with "Longhorn", the .NET Framework would be integrated into the core Windows platform, deprecating the traditional Win32 API. During development, portions of the operating system were rewritten, causing memory leaks and instability, particularly in [[Windows Explorer]].<br />
<br />
Contrary to popular belief, most of the early builds of "Longhorn" are not based on Windows XP, but [[Windows Server 2003]] (Build 3663) Release Candidate code.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
=== Codename ===<br />
"Longhorn" was chosen as the codename for the operating system to represent its initial status as an internim release between Windows XP (codenamed "Whistler") and [[Windows Blackcomb|"Blackcomb"]]. Whistler and Blackcomb are names of mountains in British Columbia, Canada,<ref>Whistler Vacation Tips. [http://www.whistler-vacation-tips.com/windows-blackcomb.html "Windows Blackcomb: See Why Bill Gates Loves Whistler"]</ref><ref>Thurrott, Paul. [http://winsupersite.com/article/faqtip/windows-longhorn-faq "Windows 'Longhorn' FAQ"]</ref> and Longhorn is the name of a saloon located in between the two mountains, representing the operating system's initial status as an internim release between the two products.<ref>Thurrott, Paul. [http://winsupersite.com/article/product-review/road-to-gold-the-long-road-to-windows-vista-part-1-2001-2002 "Road to Gold: The Long Road to Windows Vista Part 1: 2001-2001"]</ref> Bill Gates would later state that this choice for a codename of the operating system was "a bit random".<ref>Levy, Steven. (November 23, 2003). [http://www.newsweek.com/hes-still-having-fun-133605 "He's Still Having Fun"]</ref><br />

'''Windows 8''' is a release of [[Windows|Microsoft Windows]], a family of operating systems developed by [[Microsoft]]. It was the successor to [[Windows 7]].<br />
<br />
== History/Features ==<br />
Development of Windows 8 started before the general availability of Windows 7.<br />
<br />
A Microsoft employee stated in his blog that Windows 8 will have the NT version number 7.0 and that the OS won't be shipped in a x86 version, but only as x64. However, the April 2011 leaks and PR from Microsoft indicated that the 32-bit Windows would continue and that the Windows 8 kernel version would be 6.2.<br />
<br />
Steve Ballmer calls Windows 8 his "riskiest product bet" due to the high success of Windows 7.<br />
<br />
At the CES 2011 in January 2011, a computer with an ARM processor was pictured running the "Windows 8" build 6.2.7867 showing that the kernel version had only changed to 6.2, most likely to keep compatibility with old software. It was determined to be an M2 build.<br />
<br />
Four builds of Windows 8 in its early Milestone stages have been leaked: 6.1.7850 (M1), 6.2.7927 (M2), 6.2.7955 (M2), 6.2.7959 (Post-M2/Pre-M3), and 6.2.7989 (M3). Rumors show that because of the leaks of 7850, 7955, and 7959, two Microsoft employees were terminated due to leaking confidential software.<br />
<br />
== New/Improved features ==<br />
# Immersive User Interface (referred to as ''Modern UI'', codenamed ''Metro'').<br />
# Start screen which incorporates the Modern design language and replaces the Start menu of previous Windows versions, making it more touch-friendly.<br />
# Internet Explorer 10 was introduced, which was also the first version to have a 'Metro' mode for touch-friendly usage. Adobe Flash was also bundled with Internet Explorer.<br />
# Modern versions of Mail, Calendar, People and Reader were introduced, some replacing their Windows 7 desktop equivalents. A camera app was also introduced.<br />
# Windows Explorer was renamed as File Explorer and the interface was changed to one based on the Ribbon system.<br />
# New [[Desktop Window Manager]] features, such as support for software rendering, and performance improvements.<br />
# File History, which automatically creates backups of files located across the system, was introduced.<br />
# Reset and Refresh options were introduced (the former re-installs Windows, while the latter retains settings and removes desktop applications)<br />
# Windows Store, which is a place where users can purchase and download Metro-based apps, was introduced.<br />
# Windows to Go was introduced for the Enterprise edition, which allowed users to carry Windows in a flash drive or a removable hard drive.<br />
# Task Manager was redesigned, now showing startup programs, average program use, and improved graphs.<br />
# File transfers were improved, now allowing users to pause a transfer. The file transfer speed can also be shown as a graph.<br />
# A new feature to improve boot times called Fast Boot was introduced, which significantly cut down on booting times.<br />
# USB 3 is now natively supported.<br />
# Snap was introduced, allowing 2 Metro apps to be on one screen together.<br />
# Battery life was improved.<br />
# Online integration was introduced in the form of Microsoft Account, allowing users to use that account to login in Windows.<br />
# Improved support for cellular connectivity.<br />
# Windows Defender was upgraded to support full antivirus protection, effectively replacing Microsoft Security Essentials.<br />
# The lock screen was redesigned.<br />
# Hyper-V is now available on 64-bit versions of Windows 8 Pro and Enterprise.<br />
# The Windows Start orb was changed into a blue flatter trapezium based theme.<br />
# Taskbar and window border colours can now be selected automatically.<br />
# A new installer was introduced, which reduced restart times and significantly quickened the installation time.<br />
== Features removed or degraded ==<br />
# The Start Menu (and the button) was removed, which created a huge backlash and could well be the biggest reason for the eventual failure of Windows 8.<br />
# Windows 8 can no longer use unified search as was possible with Windows 7; instead you must search categorically.<br />
# DWM is now on permanently and cannot be turned off, effectively removing themes such as the Classic and Aero Basic theme.<br />
# Translucency and blurring was lost in the windows as a flatter theme was introduced instead.<br />
# Metro apps require a minimum of 1024x768 and Snap required a minimum of 1366x768.<br />
# Windows 8 now requires NX, SSE2 and PAE extensions on the processor and needs it to be enabled.<br />
# Hyper-V requires SLAT for it to work on Windows 8.<br />

'''Windows 8''' is a release of [[Windows|Microsoft Windows]], a family of operating systems developed by [[Microsoft]]. It was the successor to [[Windows 7]].<br />
<br />
== History/Features ==<br />
Development of Windows 8 started before the general availability of Windows 7.<br />
<br />
A Microsoft employee stated in his blog that Windows 8 will have the NT version number 7.0 and that the OS won't be shipped in a x86 version, but only as x64. However, the April 2011 leaks and PR from Microsoft indicated that the 32-bit Windows would continue and that the Windows 8 kernel version would be 6.2.<br />
<br />
Steve Ballmer calls Windows 8 his "riskiest product bet" due to the high success of Windows 7.<br />
<br />
At the CES 2011 in January 2011, a computer with an ARM processor was pictured running the "Windows 8" build 6.2.7867 showing that the kernel version had only changed to 6.2, most likely to keep compatibility with old software. It was determined to be an M2 build.<br />
<br />
Four builds of Windows 8 in its early Milestone stages have been leaked: 6.1.7850 (M1), 6.2.7927 (M2), 6.2.7955 (M2), 6.2.7959 (Post-M2/Pre-M3), and 6.2.7989 (M3). Rumors show that because of the leaks of 7850, 7955, and 7959, two Microsoft employees were terminated due to leaking confidential software.<br />
<br />
== New/Improved features ==<br />
# Immersive User Interface (referred to as ''Modern UI'', codenamed ''Metro'').<br />
# Start screen which incorporates the Modern design language and replaces the Start menu of previous Windows versions, making it more touch-friendly.<br />
# Internet Explorer 10 was introduced, which was also the first version to have a 'Metro' mode for touch-friendly usage. Adobe Flash was also bundled with Internet Explorer.<br />
# Modern versions of Mail, Calendar, People and Reader were introduced, some replacing their Windows 7 desktop equivalents. A camera app was also introduced.<br />
# Windows Explorer was renamed as File Explorer and the interface was changed to one based on the Ribbon system.<br />
# New [[Desktop Window Manager]] features, such as support for software rendering, and performance improvements.<br />
# File History, which automatically creates backups of files located across the system, was introduced.<br />
# Reset and Refresh options were introduced (the former re-installs Windows, while the latter retains settings and removes desktop applications)<br />
# Windows Store, which is a place where users can purchase and download Metro-based apps, was introduced.<br />
# Windows to Go was introduced for the Enterprise edition, which allowed users to carry Windows in a flash drive or a removable hard drive.<br />
# Task Manager was redesigned, now showing startup programs, average program use, and improved graphs.<br />
# File transfers were improved, now allowing users to pause a transfer. The file transfer speed can also be shown as a graph.<br />
# A new feature to improve boot times called Fast Boot was introduced, which significantly cut down on booting times.<br />
# USB 3 is now natively supported.<br />
# Snap was introduced, allowing 2 Metro apps to be on one screen together.<br />
# Battery life was improved.<br />
# Online integration was introduced in the form of Microsoft Account, allowing users to use that account to login in Windows.<br />
# Improved support for cellular connectivity.<br />
# Windows Defender was upgraded to support full antivirus protection, effectively replacing Microsoft Security Essentials.<br />
# The lock screen was redesigned.<br />
# Hyper-V is now available on 64-bit versions of Windows 8 Pro and Enterprise.<br />
# The Windows Start orb was changed into a blue flatter trapezium based theme.<br />
# Taskbar and window border colours can now be selected automatically.<br />
# A new installer was introduced, which reduced restart times and significantly quickened the installation time.<br />
== Features removed or degraded ==<br />
# The Start Menu (and the button) was removed, which created a huge backlash and could well be the biggest reason for the eventual failure of Windows 8.<br />
# Windows 8 can no longer use unified search as was possible with Windows 7; instead you must search categorically.<br />
# DWM is now on permanently and cannot be turned off, effectively removing themes such as the Classic and Aero Basic theme.<br />
# Translucency and blurring was lost in the windows as a flatter theme was introduced instead.<br />
# Metro apps require a minimum of 1024x768 and Snap required a minimum of 1366x768.<br />
# Windows 8 now requires NX, SSE2 and PAE extensions on the processor and needs it to be enabled.<br />
# Hyper-V requires SLAT for it to work on Windows 8.<br />

'''Windows 8''' is a release of [[Windows|Microsoft Windows]], a family of operating systems developed by [[Microsoft]]. It was the successor to [[Windows 7]].<br />
<br />
== History/Features ==<br />
Development of Windows 8 started before the general availability of Windows 7.<br />
<br />
A Microsoft employee stated in his blog that Windows 8 will have the NT version number 7.0 and that the OS won't be shipped in a x86 version, but only as x64. However, the April 2011 leaks and PR from Microsoft indicated that the 32-bit Windows would continue and that the Windows 8 kernel version would be 6.2.<br />
<br />
Steve Ballmer calls Windows 8 his "riskiest product bet" due to the high success of Windows 7.<br />
<br />
At the CES 2011 in January 2011, a computer with an ARM processor was pictured running the "Windows 8" build 6.2.7867 showing that the kernel version had only changed to 6.2, most likely to keep compatibility with old software. It was determined to be an M2 build.<br />
<br />
Four builds of Windows 8 in its early Milestone stages have been leaked: 6.1.7850 (M1), 6.2.7927 (M2), 6.2.7955 (M2), 6.2.7959 (Post-M2/Pre-M3), and 6.2.7989 (M3). Rumors show that because of the leaks of 7850, 7955, and 7959, two Microsoft employees were terminated due to leaking confidential software.<br />
<br />
== New/Improved features ==<br />
# Immersive User Interface (referred to as ''Modern UI'', codenamed ''Metro'').<br />
# Start screen which incorporates the Modern design language and replaces the Start menu of previous Windows versions, making it more touch-friendly.<br />
# Internet Explorer 10 was introduced, which was also the first version to have a 'Metro' mode for touch-friendly usage. Adobe Flash was also bundled with Internet Explorer.<br />
# Modern versions of Mail, Calendar, People and Reader were introduced, some replacing their Windows 7 desktop equivalents. A camera app was also introduced.<br />
# Windows Explorer was renamed as File Explorer and the interface was changed to one based on the Ribbon system.<br />
# New [[Desktop Window Manager]] features, such as support for software rendering, and performance improvements.<br />
# File History, which automatically creates backups of files located across the system, was introduced.<br />
# Reset and Refresh options were introduced (the former re-installs Windows, while the latter retains settings and removes desktop applications)<br />
# Windows Store, which is a place where users can purchase and download Metro-based apps, was introduced.<br />
# Windows to Go was introduced for the Enterprise edition, which allowed users to carry Windows in a flash drive or a removable hard drive.<br />
# Task Manager was redesigned, now showing startup programs, average program use, and improved graphs.<br />
# File transfers were improved, now allowing users to pause a transfer. The file transfer speed can also be shown as a graph.<br />
# A new feature to improve boot times called Fast Boot was introduced, which significantly cut down on booting times.<br />
# USB 3 is now natively supported.<br />
# Snap was introduced, allowing 2 Metro apps to be on one screen together.<br />
# Battery life was improved.<br />
# Online integration was introduced in the form of Microsoft Account, allowing users to use that account to login in Windows.<br />
# Improved support for cellular connectivity.<br />
# Windows Defender was upgraded to support full antivirus protection, effectively replacing Microsoft Security Essentials.<br />
# The lock screen was redesigned.<br />
# Hyper-V is now available on 64-bit versions of Windows 8 Pro and Enterprise.<br />
# The Windows Start orb was changed into a blue flatter trapezium based theme.<br />
# Taskbar and window border colours can now be selected automatically.<br />
# A new installer was introduced, which reduced restart times and significantly quickened the installation time.<br />
== Features removed or degraded ==<br />
# The Start Menu (and the button) was removed, which created a huge backlash and could well be the biggest reason for the eventual failure of Windows 8.<br />
# Windows 8 can no longer use unified search as was possible with Windows 7; instead you must search categorically.<br />
# DWM is now on permanently and cannot be turned off, effectively removing themes such as the Classic and Aero Basic theme.<br />
# Translucency and blurring was lost in the windows as a flatter theme was introduced instead.<br />
# Metro apps require a minimum of 1024x768 and Snap required a minimum of 1366x768.<br />
# Windows 8 now requires NX, SSE2 and PAE extensions on the processor and needs it to be enabled.<br />
# Hyper-V requires SLAT for it to work on Windows 8.<br />

'''Windows 8''' is a release of [[Windows|Microsoft Windows]], a family of operating systems developed by [[Microsoft]]. It was the successor to [[Windows 7]].<br />
<br />
== History/Features ==<br />
Development of Windows 8 started before the general availability of Windows 7.<br />
<br />
A Microsoft employee stated in his blog that Windows 8 will have the NT version number 7.0 and that the OS won't be shipped in a x86 version, but only as x64. However, the April 2011 leaks and PR from Microsoft indicated that the 32-bit Windows would continue and that the Windows 8 kernel version would be 6.2.<br />
<br />
Steve Ballmer calls Windows 8 his "riskiest product bet" due to the high success of Windows 7.<br />
<br />
At the CES 2011 in January 2011, a computer with an ARM processor was pictured running the "Windows 8" build 6.2.7867 showing that the kernel version had only changed to 6.2, most likely to keep compatibility with old software. It was determined to be an M2 build.<br />
<br />
Four builds of Windows 8 in its early Milestone stages have been leaked: 6.1.7850 (M1), 6.2.7927 (M2), 6.2.7955 (M2), 6.2.7959 (Post-M2/Pre-M3), and 6.2.7989 (M3). Rumors show that because of the leaks of 7850, 7955, and 7959, two Microsoft employees were terminated due to leaking confidential software.<br />
<br />
== New/Improved features ==<br />
# Immersive User Interface (referred to as ''Modern UI'', codenamed ''Metro'').<br />
# Start screen which incorporates the Modern design language and replaces the Start menu of previous Windows versions, making it more touch-friendly.<br />
# Internet Explorer 10 was introduced, which was also the first version to have a 'Metro' mode for touch-friendly usage. Adobe Flash was also bundled with Internet Explorer.<br />
# Modern versions of Mail, Calendar, People and Reader were introduced, some replacing their Windows 7 desktop equivalents. A camera app was also introduced.<br />
# Windows Explorer was renamed as File Explorer and the interface was changed to one based on the Ribbon system.<br />
# New [[Desktop Window Manager]] features, such as support for software rendering, and performance improvements.<br />
# File History, which automatically creates backups of files located across the system, was introduced.<br />
# Reset and Refresh options were introduced (the former re-installs Windows, while the latter retains settings and removes desktop applications)<br />
# Windows Store, which is a place where users can purchase and download Metro-based apps, was introduced.<br />
# Windows to Go was introduced for the Enterprise edition, which allowed users to carry Windows in a flash drive or a removable hard drive.<br />
# Task Manager was redesigned, now showing startup programs, average program use, and improved graphs.<br />
# File transfers were improved, now allowing users to pause a transfer. The file transfer speed can also be shown as a graph.<br />
# A new feature to improve boot times called Fast Boot was introduced, which significantly cut down on booting times.<br />
# USB 3 is now natively supported.<br />
# Snap was introduced, allowing 2 Metro apps to be on one screen together.<br />
# Battery life was improved.<br />
# Online integration was introduced in the form of Microsoft Account, allowing users to use that account to login in Windows.<br />
# Improved support for cellular connectivity.<br />
# Windows Defender was upgraded to support full antivirus protection, effectively replacing Microsoft Security Essentials.<br />
# The lock screen was redesigned.<br />
# Hyper-V is now available on 64-bit versions of Windows 8 Pro and Enterprise.<br />
# The Windows Start orb was changed into a blue flatter trapezium based theme.<br />
# Taskbar and window border colours can now be selected automatically.<br />
# A new installer was introduced, which reduced restart times and significantly quickened the installation time.<br />
== Features removed or degraded ==<br />
# The Start Menu (and the button) was removed, which created a huge backlash and could well be the biggest reason for the eventual failure of Windows 8.<br />
# Windows 8 can no longer use unified search as was possible with Windows 7; instead you must search categorically.<br />
# DWM is now on permanently and cannot be turned off, effectively removing themes such as the Classic and Aero Basic theme.<br />
# Translucency and blurring was lost in the windows as a flatter theme was introduced instead.<br />
# Metro apps require a minimum of 1024x768 and Snap required a minimum of 1366x768.<br />
# Windows 8 now requires NX, SSE2 and PAE extensions on the processor and needs it to be enabled.<br />
# Hyper-V requires SLAT for it to work on Windows 8.<br />

'''Windows 8''' is a release of [[Windows|Microsoft Windows]], a family of operating systems developed by [[Microsoft]]. It was the successor to [[Windows 7]].<br />
<br />
== History/Features ==<br />
Development of Windows 8 started before the general availability of Windows 7.<br />
<br />
A Microsoft employee stated in his blog that Windows 8 will have the NT version number 7.0 and that the OS won't be shipped in a x86 version, but only as x64. However, the April 2011 leaks and PR from Microsoft indicated that the 32-bit Windows would continue and that the Windows 8 kernel version would be 6.2.<br />
<br />
Steve Ballmer calls Windows 8 his "riskiest product bet" due to the high success of Windows 7.<br />
<br />
At the CES 2011 in January 2011, a computer with an ARM processor was pictured running the "Windows 8" build 6.2.7867 showing that the kernel version had only changed to 6.2, most likely to keep compatibility with old software. It was determined to be an M2 build.<br />
<br />
Four builds of Windows 8 in its early Milestone stages have been leaked: 6.1.7850 (M1), 6.2.7927 (M2), 6.2.7955 (M2), 6.2.7959 (Post-M2/Pre-M3), and 6.2.7989 (M3). Rumors show that because of the leaks of 7850, 7955, and 7959, two Microsoft employees were terminated due to leaking confidential software.<br />
<br />
== New/Improved features ==<br />
# Immersive User Interface (referred to as ''Modern UI'', codenamed ''Metro'').<br />
# Start screen which incorporates the Modern design language and replaces the Start menu of previous Windows versions, making it more touch-friendly.<br />
# Internet Explorer 10 was introduced, which was also the first version to have a 'Metro' mode for touch-friendly usage. Adobe Flash was also bundled with Internet Explorer.<br />
# Modern versions of Mail, Calendar, People and Reader were introduced, some replacing their Windows 7 desktop equivalents. A camera app was also introduced.<br />
# Windows Explorer was renamed as File Explorer and the interface was changed to one based on the Ribbon system.<br />
# New [[Desktop Window Manager]] features, such as support for software rendering, and performance improvements.<br />
# File History, which automatically creates backups of files located across the system, was introduced.<br />
# Reset and Refresh options were introduced (the former re-installs Windows, while the latter retains settings and removes desktop applications)<br />
# Windows Store, which is a place where users can purchase and download Metro-based apps, was introduced.<br />
# Windows to Go was introduced for the Enterprise edition, which allowed users to carry Windows in a flash drive or a removable hard drive.<br />
# Task Manager was redesigned, now showing startup programs, average program use, and improved graphs.<br />
# File transfers were improved, now allowing users to pause a transfer. The file transfer speed can also be shown as a graph.<br />
# A new feature to improve boot times called Fast Boot was introduced, which significantly cut down on booting times.<br />
# USB 3 is now natively supported.<br />
# Snap was introduced, allowing 2 Metro apps to be on one screen together.<br />
# Battery life was improved.<br />
# Online integration was introduced in the form of Microsoft Account, allowing users to use that account to login in Windows.<br />
# Improved support for cellular connectivity.<br />
# Windows Defender was upgraded to support full antivirus protection, effectively replacing Microsoft Security Essentials.<br />
# The lock screen was redesigned.<br />
# Hyper-V is now available on 64-bit versions of Windows 8 Pro and Enterprise.<br />
# The Windows Start orb was changed into a blue flatter trapezium based theme.<br />
# Taskbar and window border colours can now be selected automatically.<br />
# A new installer was introduced, which reduced restart times and significantly quickened the installation time.<br />
== Features removed or degraded ==<br />
# The Start Menu (and the button) was removed, which created a huge backlash and could well be the biggest reason for the eventual failure of Windows 8.<br />
# Windows 8 can no longer use unified search as was possible with Windows 7; instead you must search categorically.<br />
# DWM is now on permanently and cannot be turned off, effectively removing themes such as the Classic and Aero Basic theme.<br />
# Translucency and blurring was lost in the windows as a flatter theme was introduced instead.<br />
# Metro apps require a minimum of 1024x768 and Snap required a minimum of 1366x768.<br />
# Windows 8 now requires NX, SSE2 and PAE extensions on the processor and needs it to be enabled.<br />
# Hyper-V requires SLAT for it to work on Windows 8.<br />

'''Windows 8''' is a release of [[Windows|Microsoft Windows]], a family of operating systems developed by [[Microsoft]]. It was the successor to [[Windows 7]].<br />
<br />
== History/Features ==<br />
Development of Windows 8 started before the general availability of Windows 7.<br />
<br />
A Microsoft employee stated in his blog that Windows 8 will have the NT version number 7.0 and that the OS won't be shipped in a x86 version, but only as x64. However, the April 2011 leaks and PR from Microsoft indicated that the 32-bit Windows would continue and that the Windows 8 kernel version would be 6.2.<br />
<br />
Steve Ballmer calls Windows 8 his "riskiest product bet" due to the high success of Windows 7.<br />
<br />
At the CES 2011 in January 2011, a computer with an ARM processor was pictured running the "Windows 8" build 6.2.7867 showing that the kernel version had only changed to 6.2, most likely to keep compatibility with old software. It was determined to be an M2 build.<br />
<br />
Four builds of Windows 8 in its early Milestone stages have been leaked: 6.1.7850 (M1), 6.2.7927 (M2), 6.2.7955 (M2), 6.2.7959 (Post-M2/Pre-M3), and 6.2.7989 (M3). Rumors show that because of the leaks of 7850, 7955, and 7959, two Microsoft employees were terminated due to leaking confidential software.<br />
<br />
== New/Improved features ==<br />
# Immersive User Interface (referred to as ''Modern UI'', codenamed ''Metro'').<br />
# Start screen which incorporates the Modern design language and replaces the Start menu of previous Windows versions, making it more touch-friendly.<br />
# Internet Explorer 10 was introduced, which was also the first version to have a 'Metro' mode for touch-friendly usage. Adobe Flash was also bundled with Internet Explorer.<br />
# Modern versions of Mail, Calendar, People and Reader were introduced, some replacing their Windows 7 desktop equivalents. A camera app was also introduced.<br />
# Windows Explorer was renamed as File Explorer and the interface was changed to one based on the Ribbon system.<br />
# New [[Desktop Window Manager]] features, such as support for software rendering, and performance improvements.<br />
# File History, which automatically creates backups of files located across the system, was introduced.<br />
# Reset and Refresh options were introduced (the former re-installs Windows, while the latter retains settings and removes desktop applications)<br />
# Windows Store, which is a place where users can purchase and download Metro-based apps, was introduced.<br />
# Windows to Go was introduced for the Enterprise edition, which allowed users to carry Windows in a flash drive or a removable hard drive.<br />
# Task Manager was redesigned, now showing startup programs, average program use, and improved graphs.<br />
# File transfers were improved, now allowing users to pause a transfer. The file transfer speed can also be shown as a graph.<br />
# A new feature to improve boot times called Fast Boot was introduced, which significantly cut down on booting times.<br />
# USB 3 is now natively supported.<br />
# Snap was introduced, allowing 2 Metro apps to be on one screen together.<br />
# Battery life was improved.<br />
# Online integration was introduced in the form of Microsoft Account, allowing users to use that account to login in Windows.<br />
# Improved support for cellular connectivity.<br />
# Windows Defender was upgraded to support full antivirus protection, effectively replacing Microsoft Security Essentials.<br />
# The lock screen was redesigned.<br />
# Hyper-V is now available on 64-bit versions of Windows 8 Pro and Enterprise.<br />
# The Windows Start orb was changed into a blue flatter trapezium based theme.<br />
# Taskbar and window border colours can now be selected automatically.<br />
# A new installer was introduced, which reduced restart times and significantly quickened the installation time.<br />
== Features removed or degraded ==<br />
# The Start Menu (and the button) was removed, which created a huge backlash and could well be the biggest reason for the eventual failure of Windows 8.<br />
# Windows 8 can no longer use unified search as was possible with Windows 7; instead you must search categorically.<br />
# DWM is now on permanently and cannot be turned off, effectively removing themes such as the Classic and Aero Basic theme.<br />
# Translucency and blurring was lost in the windows as a flatter theme was introduced instead.<br />
# Metro apps require a minimum of 1024x768 and Snap required a minimum of 1366x768.<br />
# Windows 8 now requires NX, SSE2 and PAE extensions on the processor and needs it to be enabled.<br />
# Hyper-V requires SLAT for it to work on Windows 8.<br />

'''Windows 8''' is a release of [[Windows|Microsoft Windows]], a family of operating systems developed by [[Microsoft]]. It was the successor to [[Windows 7]].<br />
<br />
== History/Features ==<br />
Development of Windows 8 started before the general availability of Windows 7.<br />
<br />
A Microsoft employee stated in his blog that Windows 8 will have the NT version number 7.0 and that the OS won't be shipped in a x86 version, but only as x64. However, the April 2011 leaks and PR from Microsoft indicated that the 32-bit Windows would continue and that the Windows 8 kernel version would be 6.2.<br />
<br />
Steve Ballmer calls Windows 8 his "riskiest product bet" due to the high success of Windows 7.<br />
<br />
At the CES 2011 in January 2011, a computer with an ARM processor was pictured running the "Windows 8" build 6.2.7867 showing that the kernel version had only changed to 6.2, most likely to keep compatibility with old software. It was determined to be an M2 build.<br />
<br />
Four builds of Windows 8 in its early Milestone stages have been leaked: 6.1.7850 (M1), 6.2.7927 (M2), 6.2.7955 (M2), 6.2.7959 (Post-M2/Pre-M3), and 6.2.7989 (M3). Rumors show that because of the leaks of 7850, 7955, and 7959, two Microsoft employees were terminated due to leaking confidential software.<br />
<br />
== New/Improved features ==<br />
# Immersive User Interface (referred to as ''Modern UI'', codenamed ''Metro'').<br />
# Start screen which incorporates the Modern design language and replaces the Start menu of previous Windows versions, making it more touch-friendly.<br />
# Internet Explorer 10 was introduced, which was also the first version to have a 'Metro' mode for touch-friendly usage. Adobe Flash was also bundled with Internet Explorer.<br />
# Modern versions of Mail, Calendar, People and Reader were introduced, some replacing their Windows 7 desktop equivalents. A camera app was also introduced.<br />
# Windows Explorer was renamed as File Explorer and the interface was changed to one based on the Ribbon system.<br />
# New [[Desktop Window Manager]] features, such as support for software rendering, and performance improvements.<br />
# File History, which automatically creates backups of files located across the system, was introduced.<br />
# Reset and Refresh options were introduced (the former re-installs Windows, while the latter retains settings and removes desktop applications)<br />
# Windows Store, which is a place where users can purchase and download Metro-based apps, was introduced.<br />
# Windows to Go was introduced for the Enterprise edition, which allowed users to carry Windows in a flash drive or a removable hard drive.<br />
# Task Manager was redesigned, now showing startup programs, average program use, and improved graphs.<br />
# File transfers were improved, now allowing users to pause a transfer. The file transfer speed can also be shown as a graph.<br />
# A new feature to improve boot times called Fast Boot was introduced, which significantly cut down on booting times.<br />
# USB 3 is now natively supported.<br />
# Snap was introduced, allowing 2 Metro apps to be on one screen together.<br />
# Battery life was improved.<br />
# Online integration was introduced in the form of Microsoft Account, allowing users to use that account to login in Windows.<br />
# Improved support for cellular connectivity.<br />
# Windows Defender was upgraded to support full antivirus protection, effectively replacing Microsoft Security Essentials.<br />
# The lock screen was redesigned.<br />
# Hyper-V is now available on 64-bit versions of Windows 8 Pro and Enterprise.<br />
# The Windows Start orb was changed into a blue flatter trapezium based theme.<br />
# Taskbar and window border colours can now be selected automatically.<br />
# A new installer was introduced, which reduced restart times and significantly quickened the installation time.<br />
== Features removed or degraded ==<br />
# The Start Menu (and the button) was removed, which created a huge backlash and could well be the biggest reason for the eventual failure of Windows 8.<br />
# Windows 8 can no longer use unified search as was possible with Windows 7; instead you must search categorically.<br />
# DWM is now on permanently and cannot be turned off, effectively removing themes such as the Classic and Aero Basic theme.<br />
# Translucency and blurring was lost in the windows as a flatter theme was introduced instead.<br />
# Metro apps require a minimum of 1024x768 and Snap required a minimum of 1366x768.<br />
# Windows 8 now requires NX, SSE2 and PAE extensions on the processor and needs it to be enabled.<br />
# Hyper-V requires SLAT for it to work on Windows 8.<br />

'''Windows 8''' is a release of [[Windows|Microsoft Windows]], a family of operating systems developed by [[Microsoft]]. It was the successor to [[Windows 7]].<br />
<br />
== History/Features ==<br />
Development of Windows 8 started before the general availability of Windows 7.<br />
<br />
A Microsoft employee stated in his blog that Windows 8 will have the NT version number 7.0 and that the OS won't be shipped in a x86 version, but only as x64. However, the April 2011 leaks and PR from Microsoft indicated that the 32-bit Windows would continue and that the Windows 8 kernel version would be 6.2.<br />
<br />
Steve Ballmer calls Windows 8 his "riskiest product bet" due to the high success of Windows 7.<br />
<br />
At the CES 2011 in January 2011, a computer with an ARM processor was pictured running the "Windows 8" build 6.2.7867 showing that the kernel version had only changed to 6.2, most likely to keep compatibility with old software. It was determined to be an M2 build.<br />
<br />
Four builds of Windows 8 in its early Milestone stages have been leaked: 6.1.7850 (M1), 6.2.7927 (M2), 6.2.7955 (M2), 6.2.7959 (Post-M2/Pre-M3), and 6.2.7989 (M3). Rumors show that because of the leaks of 7850, 7955, and 7959, two Microsoft employees were terminated due to leaking confidential software.<br />
<br />
== New/Improved features ==<br />
# Immersive User Interface (referred to as ''Modern UI'', codenamed ''Metro'').<br />
# Start screen which incorporates the Modern design language and replaces the Start menu of previous Windows versions, making it more touch-friendly.<br />
# Internet Explorer 10 was introduced, which was also the first version to have a 'Metro' mode for touch-friendly usage. Adobe Flash was also bundled with Internet Explorer.<br />
# Modern versions of Mail, Calendar, People and Reader were introduced, some replacing their Windows 7 desktop equivalents. A camera app was also introduced.<br />
# Windows Explorer was renamed as File Explorer and the interface was changed to one based on the Ribbon system.<br />
# New [[Desktop Window Manager]] features, such as support for software rendering, and performance improvements.<br />
# File History, which automatically creates backups of files located across the system, was introduced.<br />
# Reset and Refresh options were introduced (the former re-installs Windows, while the latter retains settings and removes desktop applications)<br />
# Windows Store, which is a place where users can purchase and download Metro-based apps, was introduced.<br />
# Windows to Go was introduced for the Enterprise edition, which allowed users to carry Windows in a flash drive or a removable hard drive.<br />
# Task Manager was redesigned, now showing startup programs, average program use, and improved graphs.<br />
# File transfers were improved, now allowing users to pause a transfer. The file transfer speed can also be shown as a graph.<br />
# A new feature to improve boot times called Fast Boot was introduced, which significantly cut down on booting times.<br />
# USB 3 is now natively supported.<br />
# Snap was introduced, allowing 2 Metro apps to be on one screen together.<br />
# Battery life was improved.<br />
# Online integration was introduced in the form of Microsoft Account, allowing users to use that account to login in Windows.<br />
# Improved support for cellular connectivity.<br />
# Windows Defender was upgraded to support full antivirus protection, effectively replacing Microsoft Security Essentials.<br />
# The lock screen was redesigned.<br />
# Hyper-V is now available on 64-bit versions of Windows 8 Pro and Enterprise.<br />
# The Windows Start orb was changed into a blue flatter trapezium based theme.<br />
# Taskbar and window border colours can now be selected automatically.<br />
# A new installer was introduced, which reduced restart times and significantly quickened the installation time.<br />
== Features removed or degraded ==<br />
# The Start Menu (and the button) was removed, which created a huge backlash and could well be the biggest reason for the eventual failure of Windows 8.<br />
# Windows 8 can no longer use unified search as was possible with Windows 7; instead you must search categorically.<br />
# DWM is now on permanently and cannot be turned off, effectively removing themes such as the Classic and Aero Basic theme.<br />
# Translucency and blurring was lost in the windows as a flatter theme was introduced instead.<br />
# Metro apps require a minimum of 1024x768 and Snap required a minimum of 1366x768.<br />
# Windows 8 now requires NX, SSE2 and PAE extensions on the processor and needs it to be enabled.<br />
# Hyper-V requires SLAT for it to work on Windows 8.<br />

'''''Odyssey''''' is a codename of a cancelled version of [[Windows|Microsoft Windows]], intended to succeed [[Windows 2000]]. It was also planned as new business version of Windows NT, but never came off the drawing board, as it was soon canceled along with Neptune. <br />
<br />
The kernel version is unknown, though Paul Thurrot suggested it would have been NT 6.0 and ZDNet reffers to unknown sources that claim it was NT 5.5. The document [http://antitrust.slated.org/www.iowaconsumercase.org/011607/9000/PX09637.pdf PX09637] suggests that Odyssey could indeed have the version number 6.0, as it clearly states ''"...Neptune/NT6 team..."''. Knowing that Neptune is 5.50, it's only logical to conclude Odyssey was to be 6.0.<br><br />
The team working on Odyssey was merged with Neptune's team which lead to the creation of Codename Whistler (ultimately released as [[Windows XP]]) which has two main editions, namely Professional and Home Edition, but there are also several other SKUs..<br><br />
One Alpha build of [[Windows Neptune|Neptune]] was released to selected testers (build 5.50.5111.1, which later leaked to public). However, Odyssey is only mentioned in the Microsoft vs Comes documents, but even they are unclear as to what exactly Odyssey is and it appears to change between the handful of times it is mentioned. However, the most common occurence suggests it was actually a major update to be delivered after NepTune and Triton (which was scheduled to be a minor update to Neptune).<br />
<br />
=== Comes vs. Microsoft Documents ===<br />
A small number of confidential documents from the Comes vs. Microsoft case discuss Odyssey, and do actually reveal that Odyssey was in the making.<br />

'''Windows 8''' is a release of [[Windows|Microsoft Windows]], a family of operating systems developed by [[Microsoft]]. It was the successor to [[Windows 7]].<br />
<br />
== History/Features ==<br />
Development of Windows 8 started before the general availability of Windows 7.<br />
<br />
A Microsoft employee stated in his blog that Windows 8 will have the NT version number 7.0 and that the OS won't be shipped in a x86 version, but only as x64. However, the April 2011 leaks and PR from Microsoft indicated that the 32-bit Windows would continue and that the Windows 8 kernel version would be 6.2.<br />
<br />
Steve Ballmer calls Windows 8 his "riskiest product bet" due to the high success of Windows 7.<br />
<br />
At the CES 2011 in January 2011, a computer with an ARM processor was pictured running the "Windows 8" build 6.2.7867 showing that the kernel version had only changed to 6.2, most likely to keep compatibility with old software. It was determined to be an M2 build.<br />
<br />
Four builds of Windows 8 in its early Milestone stages have been leaked: 6.1.7850 (M1), 6.2.7927 (M2), 6.2.7955 (M2), 6.2.7959 (Post-M2/Pre-M3), and 6.2.7989 (M3). Rumors show that because of the leaks of 7850, 7955, and 7959, two Microsoft employees were terminated due to leaking confidential software.<br />
<br />
== New/Improved features==<br />
# Immersive User Interface (referred to as ''Modern UI'', codenamed ''Metro'').<br />
# Start screen which incorporates the Modern design language and replaces the Start menu of previous Windows versions, making it more touch-friendly.<br />
# Internet Explorer 10 was introduced, which was also the first version to have a 'Metro' mode for touch-friendly usage. Adobe Flash was also bundled with Internet Explorer.<br />
# Modern versions of Mail, Calendar, People and Reader were introduced, some replacing their Windows 7 desktop equivalents. A camera app was also introduced.<br />
# Windows Explorer was renamed as File Explorer and the interface was changed to one based on the Ribbon system.<br />
# New [[Desktop Window Manager]] features, such as support for software rendering, and performance improvements.<br />
# File History, which automatically creates backups of files located across the system, was introduced.<br />
# Reset and Refresh options were introduced (the former re-installs Windows, while the latter retains settings and removes desktop applications)<br />
# Windows Store, which is a place where users can purchase and download Metro-based apps, was introduced.<br />
# Windows to Go was introduced for the Enterprise edition, which allowed users to carry Windows in a flash drive or a removable hard drive.<br />
# Task Manager was redesigned, now showing startup programs, average program use, and improved graphs.<br />
# File transfers were improved, now allowing users to pause a transfer. The file transfer speed can also be shown as a graph.<br />
# A new feature to improve boot times called Fast Boot was introduced, which significantly cut down on booting times.<br />
# USB 3 is now natively supported.<br />
# Snap was introduced, allowing 2 Metro apps to be on one screen together.<br />
# Battery life was improved.<br />
# Online integration was introduced in the form of Microsoft Account, allowing users to use that account to login in Windows.<br />
# Improved support for cellular connectivity.<br />
# Windows Defender was upgraded to support full antivirus protection, effectively replacing Microsoft Security Essentials.<br />
# The lock screen was redesigned.<br />
# Hyper-V is now available on 64-bit versions of Windows 8 Pro and Enterprise.<br />
# The Windows Start orb was changed into a blue flatter trapezium based theme.<br />
# Taskbar and window border colours can now be selected automatically.<br />
# A new installer was introduced, which reduced restart times and significantly quickened the installation time.<br />
== Features removed or degraded ==<br />
# The Start Menu (and the button) was removed, which created a huge backlash and could well be the biggest reason for the eventual failure of Windows 8.<br />
# Windows 8 can no longer use unified search as was possible with Windows 7; instead you must search categorically.<br />
# DWM is now on permanently and cannot be turned off, effectively removing themes such as the Classic and Aero Basic theme.<br />
# Translucency and blurring was lost in the windows as a flatter theme was introduced instead.<br />
# Metro apps require a minimum of 1024x768 and Snap required a minimum of 1366x768.<br />
# Windows 8 now requires NX, SSE2 and PAE extensions on the processor and needs it to be enabled.<br />
# Hyper-V requires SLAT for it to work on Windows 8.<br />

'''''Neptune''''' (internally at Microsoft also known as ''NepTune'') was planned to become the successor of the [[Windows 2000|Windows 2000 family]] as well as the first consumer version of [[Windows]] under the [[Windows#NT line OS|NT kernel]]. It was under development in 1999, until it was canceled, along with [[Windows Odyssey|Odyssey]] to give way for [[Windows XP|Whistler]], which would be released as [[Windows XP]] in 2001. XP included a new login screen, help center and user accounts panel originally envisioned for Neptune. However, Activity Centers were eventually dropped. As stated in confidential [[Microsoft]] documents, Neptune was to be released in Q1 2000, planned to have 64-bit edition (referred to as "NT64") for the upcoming Intel Itanium processor, "Solar Coaster" (Unix Services for NT), [[Internet Explorer 6]] (which was also in development at the time) and some Anti-Piracy features. There is evidence that five service packs were planned for Neptune.<br />
<br />
A successor called [[Windows Triton]] was mistaken as a service pack, but as shown in Antitrust documents, it was actually a successor to Neptune which would bring minor updates and enhancements.<br />
<br />
== Original roadmap ==<br />
The following planned release dates come from [http://antitrust.slated.org/www.iowaconsumercase.org/011607/7000/PX07297.pdf PX07297].<br />
<br />

* SP4: July 2001<br />
* SP5: March 2002<br />
<br />
== Other Neptune SKUs ==<br />
Microsoft Anti-trust documents from Neptune era indicate that Neptune was to have not only one, but several editions, namely '''"Entry-Level"''', '''"Standard"''' and '''"High-End"''', which could translate into these modern SKUs: '''"Starter"''', '''"Home"''' and '''"Professional / Server"'''. It is unknown what these editions would actually become, if Neptune was ever released.<br />
<br />
There are also several strings in file ''USETUP.EXE'' from Neptune build 5111.1 that clearly mention "Neptune Server". These references could be leftovers from Windows 2000, if all "2000" strings were simply replaced with "Neptune" during the rebranding process.<br />
