Windows 8 Beta Available For Download Now

As expected, Microsoft released a “Consumer Preview” of Windows 8 at an event during the Mobile World Congress on February 29th. The preview, which is essentially a beta version of the upcoming desktop and tablet OS, is available for download at Microsoft’s website.

We’ve previously reported on some of the interesting features appearing in Windows 8, but Microsoft is definitely making a push for simplicity and cross-platform usability. The OS uses a new interface—first seen on Windows Phone—called “Metro” which consists of colorful tiles designed to be intuitive and easy to use. The Ribbon interface from Microsoft Office also appears often in Windows 8, mostly in Explorer windows. Although a traditional desktop mode is available, it’s obvious that Microsoft wants users to transition to the new Metro interface paradigm.

Windows 8 is unique among current OS’s in that it is intended for use on both desktop computers and tablets. The Metro interface is clearly designed for touch input, and a version of the OS is planned for ARM processors, which are prevalent in the mobile market due to lower power requirements. Microsoft wants users to be able to seamlessly transition between various Windows 8 desktop computers and mobile devices, with special features such as the ability to tie a user account to a Microsoft online account so a user’s settings, bookmarks, and contacts can automatically sync to a new computer at login.

Microsoft is certainly making a gamble with Windows 8. The company wants customers to buy into the entire Windows ecosystem, owning a compatible desktop computer, tablet and smartphone, using all three together to form a cohesive experience. It’s certainly an attractive thought, but whether this will ever actually happen remains to be seen. Tablets such as the Apple iPad and Samsung Galaxy Tab series are still wildly popular, and smartphones running iOS and Android still dominate the mobile market. Windows 8 is still viable as a desktop-only operating system and will undoubtedly be adopted by a huge portion of the PC market, but Microsoft’s overall strategy depends on the ability of its hardware partners to sell mobile devices running Windows 8.

The retail release of Windows 8 is expected in September or October of this year, although an official date has not been set.
