Content before Chrome Content is at the heart of Metro style apps, and is fundamental to the design of

Metro style apps.

Fast and Fluid User interactions and transitions are quick and intuitive, and animations are

deliberate and purposeful.

Multiple State Support Support a full-screen, immersive state, and a minimal, snapped view that runs while

a second app takes up the majority of screen space.

Charms Support App contracts provide a way for apps to work together that lets users search across

apps or choose to share content from one app to another. Their experience improves as users add more apps that support contracts to their PC.

Win 8 Summary

• Enterprises are adopting a "wait and see" mentality to gauge consumer adoption prior to developing application. The W8 phone has the makings of a great device. We say this mainly because of the user experience geared towards business users. And, with Microsoft’s Nokia relationship, we expect greater adoption for W8 phone in Europe

Win 8 Phones: “Wait & See”

• The Surface tablet has the potential to be the standout W8 product for business users because of its ability to act as a true desktop replacement. This tablet essentially serves as a desktop on-the-go. The enterprise user can make client communication seamless and access key documents without a problem, making it an essential companion for the mobile worker

Win 8 Surface Tablet

• If a successful release for Microsoft, then we will soon see more companies offering professionals a full suite of enterprise-ready applications optimized for instant-on, touch-enabled tablets. This accessibility is also key for the business user in terms of productivity, as being away from your desktop no longer has to be a negative issue for users with W8 products. With the rising expectation for a parallel mobile experience as such, we could potentially see more employees adopting W8 in order to adopt a completely mobile environment.
