Leaked Windows 8 Screenshots Show Improved Taskbar

Even though these leaked Windows 8 screenshots don't look very authentic, the rumors of an eight minute install and a two minute system restore are what really grabbed my attention.

According to Win7China, Windows 8 will be a speedy install, taking a mere eight minutes, which the site says is 2.5 times faster than Windows 7. Keep in mind, though, according to Windows 8 News, Microsoft is using a fast PC with an eight-core CPU to get those numbers. The leakers say that Microsoft has expanded its System Restore capability. Now it’s referred to as "Factory Restore," a hard-reset function that rolls back Windows 8 to its original state in two minutes.
