Microsoft Giving OEMs a Look at Windows 8

According to Win Rumors, Microsoft has begun distributing an early version of Windows 8 to key OEM partners.

The company is using the Connect external testing system to avoid any unwanted leaks. The program is being called the Windows 8 and Server vNext Pre-Release Program, leaving little doubt of its identity.Windows 8 is expected to use a fully 3D interface that will adapt dynamically to usage patterns. There is also rumored to be a fast hibernation system that can put the computer to sleep in a few seconds while automatically saving all open application states. The most recent leaks also point to a new system reset function to help users undo serious damage to the system.
