First Windows 8 Screens Hint at Integrated Windows LIVE

A new screen managed to leak out for Windows 8 and it seems to have some interesting news. At first glance you may think what’s the big deal. However, you will notice that there is a Windows LIVE icon present. This seems to suggest that your Windows LIVE account will be directly integrated into the OS this time around.

The next screen displays the profile icon area. You can see that your profile image may also be tied to a video.

Currently Microsoft also has plans to allow users to log into any other windows or Microsoft device from one machine. In addition, Microsoft will shorten the install time for Windows by 2.5 times compared to Windows 7. Furthermore, they plan to have some sort of reset feature which will restore the machine to factory defaults in just 2 minutes when clicked. This manufacturer’s default setting is also configurable by the user. The recovery files for system restore are also reported to take up less storage space on the user’s machine when compared to Windows 7.
