New Windows 8 screenshots: Traceable builds to plug leaks?
A new image has been leaked, presumably by a Microsoft employee, showing what we have seen in previous weeks already. There is nothing new in this particular set of screenshots, except an interesting wallpaper that has had me thinking.
We saw a few months ago once slides were leaked on some of the upcoming features of Windows 8, including the possibility of Windows accounts becoming connected to the cloud. It is increasingly likely that Windows Live IDs will hold the key to porting around your Windows account from computer to computer.
Imagine that. Your settings, your desktop icons perhaps, and maybe even your files becoming connected to any machine that you log into. This reinforces Mary Jo Foley’s comments late last year, with Windows 8 to possibly showcase ‘desktop as a service’ which mirrors what has come out of these screenshots so far.
