Posted May 11, 201014 yr Think Windows7 just came out & too young? Welcome to the brave future: Windows8! 1) Windows 8 To Contain New Anti-Hacking Software. Our group is on a mission to build a rich, powerful platform to help protect Microsoft products against piracy. Here is your chance to join a team of exceptional developers as we build an extensible cross-company platform to support this vision. This is a fast-paced group that rewards smart and motivated individuals. Some may consider anti-piracy measures similar to whistling in the wind, but that's certainly not the case. George has posts in Windows7News.com, and ConnectedInternet showing how in many cases Microsoft has foiled anti-piracy efforts. Many believe that piracy is relegated to just illegal copying or theft. But that is not the case. Virus distribution and embedded malware, and privacy intrusion are typical features that result from piracy efforts. 2) Will Windows 8 Be Faster and Smaller Than Windows 7? IMHO, the issue is usually caused by software maker expecting majority of its customers to be equipped w/better hardware & better software management skills than reality. Vista expected too much, and it was also apopleptically overloaded with various balloons, naggings, "features", etc. As of Windows8 I simply don't know, except one thing - Microsoft might be expecting you to be running a quad-core i7 +1GB nVidia + DisplayPort (successor to obsolete DVI/HDMI) & stuff like that by the time Windows8 is in stores. One thing is certain: The new law requires you to wear a helmet while browsing Web at highspeeds (fiberoptics-to-the-home, 50Mbps) Date? JULY 2011 is expected.
