New implementation of the Metro lanaguge has been implemented, making Windows to go the Windows flat design, except for a more enhanced design, to look a lot more of a different OS. It ended out of support in January of 2018 Mainstream and will end its extended support in January 2023.

## Development

### Milestone 1

Windows 8 started in development since Early 2010. Microsoft had to make a new OS that will change a lot the technology and new features in LIVE. They started first with build 7700, which improved the touch keyboard and other. Build 7746 implemented back the feedback application. 7791 implemented the new user tile, including the new middle text from the title bars and the brand new strat screen. Within 77xx builds being ended, the 78xx build period begins, with build 7814. Redpill has been implemented and now to unlock features, you need to unlock Redlock. It features a debugged version of the Start Screen, including the new charms bar and search into the start screen and new immersive apps, such as reader. It also implemented the new modern client of the Set-up, which is going to show up, while you unlocked Redpill. Build 7850 introduce lots of more graphics crad support and the new autocolor feature, while unlocking redpill. Build 7875, introduced the new file search into the Start Screen, Microsoft Confidential and other new enhancements. Build 7880 also implements a brand new rehauled log in screen and the new auto play flyout, too. In very late 2010, build 7899 has been implemented, with a brand new interface, close to what is saw from the 79xx builds, introducing a new user profile picture, a new enhanced search, start screen and charms bar, more new immersive apps, including Metro Control Panel and other enhancements which is that the autoplay flyout has its metro theme and the OOBE while enabling Redpill is also full screened, implementing a new inerface, too and the lock screen, including pattern log in.

### Milestone 2

Starting with the 79xx build period, this is the M3 branding coming to the OS. Build 7921 made the worodku puzzle visible and new changes to the OOBE, including the modern Set-up to have a new dummy progressbar from the top and new immersive apps, too, with the accent backgrounds responding into the Start Screen and a new background into the lock screen. File History was also implemented, under the name of the Histroy Vault. Builds 796x implement also small new enhancements into the Start Screen and the new Windows 8 mention. Build 7973 implements a new updated start screen, to use updated tiles and an updated desktop and tiles now have their own context menu. The stats of the User have been replaced with the username and new small enhancements were once again made. A new boot screen has been implemented with the betta fish and the metro loading animation has been implemented.

### Milestone 3

Build 7989 changes some enhancements and introduces the Flat Aero theme and renaming Aero Classic to Aero Lite with new changes, too and a different wordoku puzzle background. The start header has been also implemented into the start screen, within it now having new animations and a new easter egg while you go to the share button of the charms bar. Build 8008 implemented a dark themed charms bar and the charms menu, a different wallpaper, more functionality and the removed user icon in the taskbar and new Start Screen animations, with new gradients on tiles. Build 8032 implemented a brand new Personalization page in Metro Control Panel and some purple accent colors, with an updated metro UI and start screen animations that slowly resemble the final release with new sounds and enhancements. The circled icons in File Explorer, now have the Windows 1.0, Microsoft's "O" word instaed.

### Developer Preview

Build 8045 implemented a muted shutdown sound, a new color scheme, updated wallpaper and an updated boot screen for a redued size of the metro loading animations with flatter tray icons and the Metro Control Panel now using a more consistent Metro UI and the charms bar and charms menu being both now available for non-touch screen users. Build 8056, implemented brand new tiles, removing non-fish branding, updated Metro UI, updated Lock Screen, updated Aero Theme and Touch Keyboard and Sharing functionality has been implemented and if you share something from the start screen, the codename of the start screen will be told as "MoGo". Build 8064, is an fbl\_eeap build which eeap is for a beta public program for ISO beta installations. This is othe only Windows 8 build that has a broken Redpill and Metro features won't be enabled, resulting with the Aero Theme. This build though implements an RTM auto color icon, an RTM blue screen of death, the Developer Preview wateramrk at the boot screen and a new User PFP. As of rumors for the Start Screen of build 8064, the start screen could look familiar to the one in Developer Preview to the tablet leak a Microsoft Amateur leaked back then in Mid 2011. Build 81xx also begins, such as build 8102, implementing entire new developer preview branding and the finished wordoku puzzle background, too and a new user default profile picture and new updates to the Store, but the apps are still coming soon, but they can be tested while going to the Start Screen, but they don't also function, because they haven't been made yet.

### Consumer Preview

Later 81xx builds, implement the new Consumer Preview branding later on, with different accent colors and new sound remakes, including new renames and small new features. build 8195 removed the start button by default from the taskbar and implements new animations and branding really close to the normal Consumer Preview, except there are a few differences, such as the older flag presented in this build and the finished wordoku puzzle background is still showing up into the desktop. Build 8250 delted completely Redpill and introduces the new flag, including new interface updates and new features and the Metro betta fish background and Metro betta fish into the boot screen. the Store and apps also now completely work and you can now download any app that you want!

### Release Preview

Builds 83xx and 84xx, including and 85xx builds are the Release Preview builds, which now makes interface resemble the one in the final release, within the logo replying into the boot screen and other. The RTM builds, 8888 and 92xx were also made and now fixed all possible bugs and its now ready to release for manufacturing and to the public right now.

## Criticism

Windows 8 had a lot of criticism, since its general availability, because Windows 8 is a frustrating OS for desktop users and it demonstrates while looking at it and people needed an update for that one day to return deskop things back. Microsoft got a lot more criticism than in Vista, but was worse and less. Microsoft then because of its people needed to make Windows 8.1, which returns the desktop features, that will match with the Metro interface and brand new improvements to the names and other, including changes to OneDrive compatibility and UI. Its market wasn't that big because of its hate and most of the people that installed itdowngraded to Windows 7 at that kind of time. Even though because of its beautiful, it needs and a few hate. Many people really wanted Microsoft to shame with them because of that and also many people didn't really like the idea of a really flat look. So, it's a shame, but that's okay. Hours pass and we will all make mistakes within the community and mistaken ideas with things all the time. *The OS though will always be in our nostalgia and the OS will never forget us.*
