Mozilla launches a preview of what will be Firefox for Windows 8 Metro

http://i.imgur.com/CCB7S.jpg

Mozilla has just released what is considered the first preview of Firefox Modern Metro UI interface for the new Microsoft Windows 8. Admittedly, "Metro" (the old name of interface) sounds much better than "Modern UI" (the new one), so no surprise that Mozilla did not want to rename the browser.
Metro Firefox can be installed on computers using the latest Windows 8 development packages that are available here . After installation, you will need Firefox to become the default browser, because if not, to simply throw open the desktop version. Apparently (note, not a confirmation) all browsers Windows 8 would work in this way, which is not at all nice because if we want to try another browser to change it to default every time you need to use it.
As you have seen in the picture, this version of Firefox will be a little familiar to those who have used the new version is available for Android and iOS. The tabs are located at the top of the browser and the buttons were minimized, giving it a more minimalist yet more striking and elegant.
As you have seen, too, the home screen you see on the image is quite colorful, with pictures to color markers (take the small icon color), while the most recently visited page can be seen on the right.
At first glance, the browser is not bad and we hope to improve further when the full version is released.

Boxes appear to Microsoft Windows 8

 RTM

They have been a very interesting couple of weeks for Microsoft. The Redmond-based company announced that its new operating system had reached its RTM stage, and in record time their code was leaked to torrent websites. Then there was speculation about the decision to abandon the brand Metro useful for interfacing that has Windows 8, probably to avoid a potential lawsuit.
Now, The Verge presents what could be the final design for the boxes of the operating system will be available at retail later this year.
As previously announced, there will be only two versions of the operating system: Windows 8 and Windows 8 Pro The overall design of the boxes is quite simple with the logo "Windows 8 UI style" in the front and two different colors ( black or white) to differentiate the versions available.
The latest Microsoft operating system reached its RTM last week, marking the final stage of their development before its world premiere. Only a day after leaked to the internet version "N" for the European market - which comes without the Windows Media Player.
Windows 8 is scheduled for release in stores, and tablet personal computers, including Tablet Surface, 26 October and the next version of Windows Phone should be ready around the same time.
