This concept should illustrate what next Microsoft Windows could be like. You see a rework of the desktop environment. So for example the Charms Bar, which has been introduced with Windows 8, is further developed. Now it is locked on the left side and you are able to pin quick accesses for apps, devices or programs. It replaces the known Windows Taskbar. Additionally there is the Sidebar re-integrated on the right side. In this area, open programs and apps are displayed. One can also, for example, pinning open apps. Moreover the File-Explorer was changed and some features like tabs were added.


I would be very grateful if one or the other could give a feedback. If you like my concept, share it ;) Thanks in advance :)

Out of all Windows concepts, this is the best. Great work!

Let me just make this clear, it looks awesome. But if the whole point of Windows 8 was to introduce Windows to tablets, then why make it all small again? It looks great for desktop and laptop, but not for tablet (unless there would be another version for them)

Btw when I say 'small' I mean the button size (specifically the new charms-bar idea)

I agree with you that the surface shown here isn’t really touch optimized. But even the current Windows 8 desktop environment it’s not really. It works, but it doesn’t work really well.
In my opinion the compromises that must be made due to touch and non-touch based devices, are a basic problem of Windows 8. No matter how you do it, either the Tablet or PC user isn't satisfied.
Therefore I made the button sizes small again. So at least the users of traditional desktop have an optimized interface for mouse and keyboard.
I think that I will develop additionally a concept interface for touch-based devices for Next Windows in the near future.

Fair point, I see what you mean.

Actually I think you should re-brand it (cos microsoft are never gonna look at this sort of thing anyway - it's sad) and make it into html5 (a bit like this [link] ) and then maybe even make it into a linux os if it gets popular enough (if you're feeling lazy doing that just make it so it boots into a fullscreen browser with the local html page). Hope this helps!

Thank you for your suggestions. I like your ideas and I definitely keep it in mind. As soon as there are a sufficient number of interested parties, I will deal with the implementation. At the moment I haven’t enough time to do it. Apart from this, I have no knowledge in HTML or in the implementation of Linux themes until now.

I would be glad to create something like this for you! And if ntim007 joined, it would be even better! I've been working on HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with Tim for over a year. Check out our latest project, CloudDesk.

Give someone details on how it would work (like ntim007 himself) and he could maybe make it!
