That's right, the newest buzz around Windows 8, which may or may not be the official title, is that the next-generation OS is expected to be touch-friendly and seamlessly work on tablet devices, desktops and laptops. Microsoft just recently gave an early demonstration of Windows 8's new look as well as the capability of Windows 8 at the D9 conference.
The development platform is based on HTML 5 as well as JavaScript. Any and all applications created for a touch interface will also work with a mouse and keyboard as well which is another nice feature. In addition to that, there is also an option for a split virtual keyboard for typing on a tablet.
The good news about Windows 8 is that the system requirements for running Windows 8 will not be more than what is required to run Windows 7. In addition to that, Windows 8 will also run on Intel, AMD processors and ARM chips. Stay tuned here for all the new information on Windows 8's mobile platform capabilities as they are released.
