We don’t know much about Windows 8 features yet, but we know what Microsoft is working on.However, I have researched all features that Microsoft is currently working on. Of course we don’t know if Microsoft will indeed add those features to the final build of Windows 8 in 2011/2012.
Windows 8 Features: Highest Chance For Implementation
New Filesystem
App Store / Windows 8 Apps
Kinect Rapid Login-In
Will Run on ARM (CONFIRMED)
Cloud support
3D Desktop
Reset To Factory Default
Windows 8 Features: High Chance For Implementation
Windows 8 Features with a good chance for integration / or already confirmed features:
History Vault
DSFR (New Storage technology:Distributed File System Replication storage file system) = Faster File Access
Support for one way replication
Cluster Support
Dramatic performance improvements
Hibernate/Resume Integration API, which will be used in Windows 8 replacing Windows Vista’s Xpress compression engine.
PatchGuard Improvement = More Secure x64 Environment
New user interface framework = More beautiful Windows 8 Interface
Improved Download Experience
Improved Remote Desktop Client and Protocol
More Windows 8 features haven’t been revealed yet. Overall, I would say that Microsoft is working on some big things. A new file system, enhanced security and a new GUI sound really good so far, what else should they be working on?
Although there are many features that are really useful, there are also features that are totally useless. I hope they focus on the important features and not on the Hibernation and Download features :P
