Tweet A new ad has appeared on Vimeo for Microsoft’s Windows Enterprise group. What’s particularly interesting about this (that Winrumors first spot) is a new taskbar UI for Windows that Microsoft seems to display twice in the video. It is to be noted that in the video normal versions of Vista and Windows 7 are shown, giving me the impression that many Microsoft OS’s are being displayed here, so the one with the new taskbar could very well be Windows 8. The design is in accordance with the Metro UI design paradigms: a flattened Windows Start icon with a clock in the middle. It also seems to be translucent. Keep reading for what Windows8Center saw in the video! UPDATE: Winrumors has updated its post stating that the taskbar is just a theme from a popular theming tool called Rainmeter; however, the next part of the article still stands.
A glimpse into Windows 8?
What Windows8Center discovered was a tablet with a Fujitsu logo. It seems very similar to the picture of the “mystery quad-core tablet,” which you can read about here. The woman in the ad appears to be using it for work and is seen typing on some sort of virtual keyboard. Since two Microsoft operating systems can be found in this video (Vista and Windows 7), it’s not a stretch that Microsoft would include Windows 8. Not to mention the fact that Fujitsu was actually the company that announced the world’s first Mango smartphone earlier this week. What do you think of the relationship between Microsoft and Fujitsu? Sound off in the comments!
