Well, we dun goofed. Microsoft just confirmed with TNW Microsoft the purported Home windows 8 screenshot that people published earlier is at fact Home windows 7. This really is slightly�embarrassing.

How did the image fool everybody Since it has text labels switched on for that taskbar, just a little used feature, and never one that's very identifiable like a Home windows 7 element, and thus everybody went right into a tizzy presuming it was Home windows 8. TNW Microsoft incorporated. We apologize. Whether it causes us to be look any less foolish, i was hardly the only real individuals to understand this wrong.

If you'd like to, read our initial publish about the matter here. This is the look under consideration:

You want that there is a much better story, or possibly some kind of interesting intrigue, but Microsoft was very firm and direct: the above mentioned image isn't Home windows 8, but is rather Home windows 7 with certain features switched on.

Well, that's that. We ll still provide you with all of the Home windows 8 content that people can, but we ll be considered a touch more careful later on. You can flame us within the comments.
