Latest Windows 8 leaks reveal cloud-based settings, more app store evidence


We're sure Microsoft is going to announce some more official details about Windows 8 one of these days, but until then we'll just have to make do with the seemingly unending stream of tidbits being unearthed from the leaked version of the OS. Most notably, this latest batch includes the most conclusive evidence yet of a Windows 8 app store, including the logo pictured above, and a slew of other references at the code level -- things like the ability to download a trial app and then unlock the full version (rather than re-download it), for instance, and the existence of things like screenshots and system requirements in the app store listings. Another recent leak has also revealed some new cloud-based settings options that could let you take your desktop profile and other personalizations from one computer to another, and even give you the ability to sync apps from that aforementioned Windows Store between PCs. All that, plus support for 3D displays and WiFi Direct. Hit up the links below for some additional details.

    Looks interesting. I wish everyone would stop calling it the cloud and just say the internet.

    A Windows 8 App store? Oh joy. I don't get this current fascination with cloud services either.
    Good post, hadn't heard any of this yet.

    After their desaster with Vista that was pushed out too early after a long break, they now seem to care for more quality. Would be great!

    It feels like they're copying Apple, but it seems everything is gravitating towards this kind of style as of late.

    Oh well...always looking forward to the next OS :P

    I keep hearing the term "cloud computing" all the time. Does that mean Microsoft is going to store their servers up on the clouds now?
