A source, who allegedly has knowledge of Microsoft’s plans, spoke to Business
Insider and claims that the company is taking a more Apple-like approach to
interface design in Windows 8. Microsoft “will also be using concepts from the
“Metro” interface developed for Windows Phone 7″ says Business Insider. The
report isn’t as far fetched as it might seem. Microsoft has a habit of
introducing new technologies at the Wall Street Journal’s D: All Things Digital
Conference, which will run from May 31 to June 2 this year. Bill Gates
introduced Microsoft’s Surface computer in 2007 and the company demonstrated
Windows 7 multitouch in 2008.

It’s possible that Microsoft might be planning to
demonstrate a technology preview of Windows 8 Tablets at the conference this
year.
