  • Artikel

This week at our Worldwide Partner Conference 2013, Jensen Harris, Director of Program Management for Windows User Experience, delivered an outstanding demo-heavy session that showcased end-to-end enhancements in Windows 8.1 Preview, providing an exceptional experience with all device form factors: phone, tablet, notebook, desktop and gaming console.  These 28 demos show some of the productivity, efficiency and consistency gains that you can expect from Windows 8.1 when it ships, across all devices that you may use in your daily routine.

In this article, I’ve posted the recording for this session along with an index to each of the demos for convenient viewing.  I’ve also included resources at the end of this article for you to use when evaluating Windows 8.1 Preview in your own lab.
