Here is a sneak peek at Microsoft’s New Operating System Windows 8 which is going to run on everything  laptops,  desktops, PCs with mouse and keyboard, touch slates etc etc etc.

It all begins with the Start Screen and its live tiles and apps; you cycle between windows by simply touching your finger at the side of the screen, and swipe it inwards to lay the new tab on top.  By holding the floating tab for a few seconds, it’ll snap onto the side of the screen as a secondary window.
