Windows 8 beta user interface
Windows 8 from Microsoft is expected to be a tough competitor for Apple. Windows 8 breaks down the operating system (OS) walls that divide our devices. It works on tablets, laptops, desktops and even smartphones. It is a bold new take on computing, unifying tablets, desktops, laptops, the Internet, and smartphones under one Windows roof. That may be the biggest difference between Windows 8 and its predecessors. Microsoft is introducing the Metro interface it popularize with Windows Phone into Windows 8. Users can access the Metro view or the familiar desktop view with a simple click or tap.
Windows 8 will also have an App Store. Users will have the availability of both Win32 apps and Metro-style apps for Windows 8 via Windows Store. It is a clear indication that Microsoft doesn't intend to give up any ground to Apple and its App Store.
With Windows 8, Microsoft wants an everywhere OS, offering access to all information and services accross all your Windows 8 devices. To me this makes Windows 8 an all-around and versatile OS that may deserve to have a second look.
The Windows Developer Preview is a pre-beta version of Windows 8 for developers. These downloads include prerelease software that may change without notice. The software is provided as is, and you bear the risk of using it. It may not be stable, operate correctly or work the way the final version of the software will. It should not be used in a production environment. The features and functionality in the prerelease software may not appear in the final version. Some product features and functionality may require advanced or additional hardware, or installation of other software.
Note: The .iso file that contains the developer tools requires a large capacity DVD called a DVD-9, as well as a DVD burner that can handle dual-layer (DL) DVDs. Most modern burners should be able to handle this format.

How to install the Windows Developer Preview from an ISO image
The Windows Developer Preview is delivered as an .iso image that must be converted into installation media stored on a DVD or a USB flash drive. On Windows 7, the easiest way to convert this file is to use Windows Disc Image Burner. On Windows XP and Windows Vista, a third-party program is required to convert an .iso file into installable media—and DVD burning software often includes this capability.Note: The .iso file that contains the developer tools requires a large capacity DVD called a DVD-9, as well as a DVD burner that can handle dual-layer (DL) DVDs.
