These are the main additions to the newest version of windows which is yet to be released.

In April 2011 a beta version was leaked to major P2P and torrent sharing networks. In August 2011 another build of the beta version was leaked to the famous torrent sharing network called "The Pirate Bay". Likewise another build got leaked to Beta Archive in May 2011.


The Aero style found in Windows 7 is till there in 8, and this time windows also supports taskbar thumbnails and taskbar thumbnail menus. Till windows 7, the close , maximize and minimize buttons had been enclosed in boxes. This time these boxes have been removed, with just the buttons remaining.
