PCBeta has posted images of another leaked build of Windows 8, build 8158. This time around they have displayed an updated “Longhornesq” charm bar on the right side of the screen, and unlike the Windows Developer Preview, it’s brought out by bringing the mouse to bottom-right of the screen.Chinese site PCBeta posts up images of leaked Windows 8 build 8158.
Images include one of the Desktop with a charm bar located on the right side of the screen. It can be accessed by bringing the mouse pointer to the bottom-right-hand corner of the screen.
Another image seems to suggest that Microsoft has brought silent updates to Internet Explorer, which is something rivals like Google already have in their web browsers. The image shows the "About" Windows in Internet Explorer 10 with a checked option to "Install new versions automatically."
A public beta of Windows 8 is expected to be released next month, at the same time as the Consumer Electronic Show (CES) is underway in Las Vegas.
As you can see from above screenshot, now you can get on with your work while updates of IE are being installed with the addition of new fetaure “Install new versions automatically” option. However, there are still doubts of whether it will require any restarts after successful installation.There also seems to be an update to IE 10 which allows it to automatically update without disturbing you with annoying pop ups But whether or not this will require a restart or not to complete the installation is unknown.
The fact that the Control Panel icon has been placed on the desktop by the leakers of these screenshots, could mean that accessing it from the Start button is still a tedious exercise for desktop users, perhaps indicating that it still links to the Metro styled “apps” screen.
A few more screenshots of a build of Windows 8 that’s closer to the beta build that we can expect to see in a few months have recently found their way to the web. The images come courtesy from PCBeta . Now they don’t really seem to reveal a whole lot more about windows 8 that we don’t know already, and even using Google Translate, it’s quite difficult to make out what they’re saying in the post.
They refer to the sidebar in the post as a “charm bar” and seem to think that it’s a new feature (this could be down to a dodgy translation) but if what’s written in the post is correct, this can now be accessed by going to the bottom right of the screen with your mouse where the current “show desktop” button is located in Windows 7.
