Push Notifications, Screenshot Snapping and New Webcam App Revealed In Windows 8
We have already reported on the integration of the built-in PDF reading capabilities in Windows 8 as well as the use of Ribbon based user interface to be employed now system-wide. But after the Windows 8 has leaked on the Internet there is a flurry of information coming our way about all kinds of new features that MS is planning to bake in the stable builds of the Windows 8. We have already mentioned about the interesting new feature called Portable Workspace in Windows 8 that will allow to run the OS from a thumb drive. Now WinRumors is reporting that Windows 8 build 7850.0.winmain_win8m1.100922-1508 contains a number of references to the following features heading our way: Windows Push Notification Platform Built-in screenshot snapping tool Webcam Capture Application Toasts and tiles Create bootable USB Flash Devices There are references to the new Microsoft Push Notification System in Windows 8 such as in the following files: wpnapps.dll “Windows Push Notification Apps” wpncore.dll “Windows Push Notification Core” wpnprv.dll “Windows Push Notification Platform Connection Provider” It still not very clear that how these push notifications will work, and if they will only be limited to the Microsoft Tablet UI, for that we have to wait and see. It has also been discovered that TWINUI.DLL.MUI contains a number of references to the screenshot capturing and sharing features built right in to the Windows 8. Other discovery is related to the new “Webcam Capture Application.” that will use the new Microsoft Metro UI. You can see a screenshot below: One of the recent revelations is that Windows 8 will include support for push notifications, probably something on the lines of toast-styled notifications found on Windows Phone 7. Microsoft is also going to include CreateBootableUFD.exe which will allow users to create bootable USB flash devices. Note that this is not the same as the recently discovered feature that allows to run Windows 8 from a USB drive. As you can see Microsoft is trying it’s best to come up with more innovations and better usability features for the it’s users in this upcoming release of Windows. We will provide updates as they are made available, stay tuned by following us on Facebook, Twitter and/or by subscribing to our RSS Feed. You may also like to read: Authors:
