Steve Ballmer, CEO of Microsoft, has called the upcoming Windows 8, the"riskiest product yet" by Microsoft. We aren't sure why he stated that as leaked documents have highlighted some of what will be in the release. Ballmer surely knows more than has been released though, so there may be some new outstanding features that he feels are a departure from the norm, hence the risk.
Windows 8, due in 2012, according to leaked documents will have facial recognition sign in abilities as well as being able to recognize when you get up and leave and puts itself into sleep mode. It will also have support for USB 3 and Bluetooth 3.0 as well as being able to sense ambient light and adjust screen brightness. The boot time has been shortened as well. [
