Is windows 8 is safe ?


Microsoft a giant is supposed to design a new user interface for so called Windows 8.
Well I am not fro Microsoft neither I am aware about they Build versions.

In terms of a developers perspective what you consider is the productivity and not the GUI.

There is no use of developing GUI just like Vista did and failed massively. Vista failed because it was lacking in terms of its light weightless.
The interface of win 8 as shown by official looks like an video game GUI.

Metro is the thing which is actually introduced with win 8. Well in simple language you will interacting with the full screen interface.
So one will not be able to see scroll bars like expandable view. Well that sounds cool but is it really?
Everyone has to be aware this should not lead to a  new shareware/fake anti-virus attacks.
What the hacked do is they will force you to download a software forcibly. well they can do it by floating a pop-up window indicating "Detected Threats on your computer"
Now it will ask you to remove them. But when you click on remove button it will redirect you to a website where you can download the software for free. Its their trick. And you can't close theeir alert window once it appears. You need to kill the process which is actually initializing it from abase process.
But, with Windows 8, these browser-based fake warnings will be shown full-screen, without the visible signs that you're in a browser.

So it seems like it will be easy for psychos to get engaged in these activities easily as OS itself supports full screen.
