[wicked]

The software giant Microsoft’s next big and much-awaited thing – Windows 8 “Consumer Preview” is all on the way is setting near release on February 29th. The company is preparing to change the style of its famous “Windows flag” for the next of its version of its popular operating system.

Chinese site cnBeta first published the Windows flag pictures of the new flag and The Verge reportedly verified the authenticity of the new design. The new design comes up with a more flattened, angled, and windows-like appearance as compared the last one which consists of the four-pane Windows logo, mainly found projected onto a waving flag.

There is also other expectation too with the design like marking fundamental changes of design aesthetic combined with Microsoft’s Metro style Start Screen – the new flag will appear in the charm bar and will be activated either by touch, mouse or keyboard.

LOL. I guess in Microsoft's vision of the future we all live in houses with crazy shaped, artistic-looking windows. The new version is almost exactly the opposite direction and seems a bit too plain to me.
