Last week, thanks to a series of leaked screenshots and videos from build 9834, courtesy of WinFuture.de, we got our first real look at the next version of Windows, including seeing the new Start menu and virtual desktops in action.
That’s not the only new feature being shown off however. In yet another new video we get to see the Notifications center which Microsoft is introducing.
At the moment Windows 8 flashes up notifications in the top right hand corner. If you’re not paying proper attention they are fairly easy to miss and you’ll have no idea what the message said. The new Notifications screen changes all that.
What it does is provide a place where you can view all of the Windows notifications directly from the system tray, including Skype messages.
You can remove individual notifications easily, or clear the lot in one go.
Windows 9 continues to impress and I'm looking forward to trying it out for myself later this month (hopefully).
