I’m talking about the final version of the all-new operating system from Microsoft. If you needed any more signs pointing in that direction, something rather interesting happened just recently at a Fujitsu press conference which probably isn’t going to make Microsoft very happy. A slide detailing various Fujitsu product launches for 2012 contained a Q4 2012 slide with a Tablet running Windows 8. The text below it said – Win 8 Launch… Could it be clearer than that?...

Last Friday the Chromium logo was updated, and this week Chrome is following suit. The new Chrome logo is flat, simple, and looks a lot less like a pokeball. Currently it is only available in the developer channel version of Chrome, but it should probably hit the stable channel within the next week or two. We still don’t have any information regarding why the change took place, but it looks a lot less intrusive; maybe that is what Google is going for....
