Windows 8 on the Lenovo X220 T Angry Birds vs Atari vs the Metro UI instant wake up and Pen use

I have been having so much fun testing Windows 8 , currently I have it installed on the Joojoo , a dual screen Toshiba Libretto and as you can see from the video below  , the 64 bit version ,on the Lenovo X220T , this is running from a Runcore basic msata ssd  about the size of 2 sim cards , a few days into Windows 8 use and you realise the Metro interfaced IE10 is all about HTML5 and not flash , though the desktop IE10 is fine with Flash . For this test  I wanted to show how easy it is to switch between  and use multiple browsers using the touch screen , have all your favourite Apps running in the background , I also discovered that you can slide in windows from the left and right of the screen that have other apps open , as well as swipe from the left to switch between apps 
I also show the instant resume time of Windows 8 , yes it is faster than your monitors wakeup time  !

The point of Windows 8 IS touch , this is not a touch layer applied over the top of an OS , touch functions accelerate and enhance your every day benign tasks , from the oh so serious Angry Birds to checking the weather , or your social network life . 


So your next laptop should not just be an ultraportable , or ultrabook , it should be an ultrabook with a touch screen and pen input , likewise your next 30 inch 2500 by 1600 LCD should also come with 10 point multitouch and  pen input , and if it does not it will ... it will thanks to the evolution that Windows 8 promises ....


With Windows 8 Microsoft is giving PC and Monitor manufacturers , software developers and end users opportunities that Apple have denied them ...


And this is just touch , there is nothing to stop Kinect style control of this OS .. and on the PC platform hardware will arrive that can cope with it  . 

As the Lenovo X220 T comes avec pen , this also deserves some testing out on Windows 8 ,   just check the video below , the new handwriting interface looks a lot nicer than the custard yellow Windows 7 version , and more importantly manages to read my impossible to read handwriting as you can see , this is a first use test so the software has yet to learn my writing style .....but it is mighty impressive ....

Remember you do not need an i7 powered tablet PC to do all these things , the Atom powered Joojoo or any Windows 7 slate or netbook will handle the Metro UI and feature set of Windows 8 . 


The launch of this preview is so different to Windows 7 , which famously launched sans many drivers , what has changed now is the software and UI is driving hardware manufacturers , thanks in part of course to Steve Jobs , the iPad and the hunger it created in the masses for a desktop Windows touch and cloud  based UI .. and yes you guessed right that happens to be Windows 8.... you should see how gorgeous the 12.1 joojoo looks running it ! 


And yes that is a dual screen Libretto in the picture running the Windows 8 ... just have to get the set up complete for dual screen touch magic ....
