New Windows 8 for tablets will be available in a year.

“Windows re-imagined” has been released on the Build conference held last week in Anaheim, California. This was a festive occasion for the presentation new Windows 8. You can download the Developer Preview and try it.
So two things impress from the first sight:

1. New Metro UI which coexists with more traditional windows look. The start up page now looks like in the image. The idea is that Win 8 is now ready to be used on tablets. Customisable set of titles gives you quick access to your favourite everyday activities. Desktop title redirects you to the familiar Microsoft UI only with the ribbon like in Office 2010 apps.




2. The forking of apps on the ARM version of Win 8. As you know traditional Windows apps are convenient and easy to use. But compatibility with tablets is very questionable. Win 8 will solve this problem with forking of apps. We're told Windows 8 will ship in about a year so we could test all the new apps then.
