March 20th, 2012 by Lindsay Mata

Windows 8 is in Beta.

A couple weeks ago Microsoft released an early preview version of its next operating system, Windows 8, over the Web.

Here are some of the system’s new features:

  • Integration of touch, keyboard and mouse control
  • The Windows app store
  • Cloud services that link PCs and Windows Phone
  • Internet Explorer 10
  • New hardware capabilities

Touch is a big new feature of Windows 8, but people who prefer to use their mouse or keyboard won’t have to compromise because of the touch system. Some experts in the industry say this could be one of the most important launches in Microsoft’s history.
