    A deeper dive into Windows 8: can Microsoft's big bet pay off?



    Summary: Windows 8 is, without a doubt, the most controversial Windows version the company has ever designed. After a month of using and dissecting the Windows Developer Preview, I offer a deeper look at what’s inside and some predictions about what you can expect in the future.

    Microsoft released its first preliminary version of Windows 8 roughly a month ago. It’s somewhat raw, definitely incomplete, and absolutely the most controversial Windows version the company has ever considered releasing.

    I will bet all my pips on when Windows 8 RTM release it will be very different to this DP, which points heavily to being a tablet/smart phone OS.

    I'll raise you a few pips (I can do that) but, prior, please specify what you mean as "very different," aem, as I see the DP as more a hybrid than anything else - and a good one at that.

    Software evolution my friend, it's all about having the latest but might not be the greatest we'll just have to wait and see.
