Geek Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 <div class="KonaBody"><p><iframe width="600" height="371" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/p92QfWOw88I?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p> <p>Competition is heating up as everyone races to catch up to Apple’s runaway success with <a href="http://osxdaily.com/tag/ios/">iOS</a>. Now Microsoft is throwing it’s hat into the touch and tablet ring with their first video demo of Windows 8. Clearly influenced in part by the <a href="http://osxdaily.com/category/ipad/">iPad</a> but still adding a unique twist to touch interfaces, Microsoft’s demo video of Windows 8 is actually pretty impressive. There’s a lot of good ideas shown here, the user interface looks really interesting and there’s a lot of shared elements with Windows Phone 7, but aspects like tiles clearly work better on a larger touch screen than a smaller 3.5″ mobile display. </p> <p>The video is about 4.5 minutes long, but it doesn’t really start showing off features until almost a minute in. Check it out, it’s interesting to see what Apple is up against.</p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/um0NtknjuKpkEPzvNa9b7s1edt8/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/um0NtknjuKpkEPzvNa9b7s1edt8/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/um0NtknjuKpkEPzvNa9b7s1edt8/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/um0NtknjuKpkEPzvNa9b7s1edt8/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=-vGDneE4X_4:UodeEr73yc8:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=-vGDneE4X_4:UodeEr73yc8:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=-vGDneE4X_4:UodeEr73yc8:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=-vGDneE4X_4:UodeEr73yc8:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=-vGDneE4X_4:UodeEr73yc8:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=-vGDneE4X_4:UodeEr73yc8:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=-vGDneE4X_4:UodeEr73yc8:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/-vGDneE4X_4" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
