Recently it has spread all over the Internet a catch alleged Microsoft documents mentioning some of the features of Windows 8. Microsoft has not confirmed anything, but could very well be a leak that has fallen into the wrong hands and has come to light.

Among the most important details that can read in these document includes:

• instant-on boot functionality to access web or anything without delay in few milliseconds
• adjustable display brightness according to the brightness of the room where we are or would be used
• facial recognition to recognize and identify the user in the system

Here are the details in bullet points, because everyone simply loves bite-size bullets:

• Instant-on is the buzz word du jour -- Windows 8 will boot and resume a lot faster. When people want to check something on the Internet, they want to do it now, not in 30 seconds! (Our attention span nowadays could be measured in milliseconds...)
• Advanced displays and g (3D, Wireless, etc) -- with everyone and their spoilt sister demanding 3D TVs, Windows 8 will have a large emphasis on the graphical experience. You thought Aero was shiny? Well, you ain't seen nothing yet. 'Ambient light detection' is also mentioned -- your display will change its brightness depending on how light it is in your room!
• Presence detection, facial recognition -- Windows 8 will feature some kind of 'automatic login' when your presence is detected. I hope this involves having a RFID chip inserted under your skin. Some tech blogs are referring to some kind of 'Kinect' technology.
• Advanced OEM customization -- it looks like Windows 8 will be fully customizable/skinnable. Expect to see the Windows Flag start button replaced with a Dell logo... and free distributions that have ads everywhere!

It also mentions something that is going to like completely Skinnable User Interface: The ability to completely customize the look of the system, even to add ads to somehow reduce the price of the license. This gonna be troublesome for many users.

Well, there is still much time to see Windows 8 in the market and the source has promised to give more information about it.

P.S. Source site has been taken down by Microsoft as it was hosted on their servers leaking confidential information. You can check DownloadSquad for more details.
