Driver model for other low-power peripheral busses
Sensor Fusion integrates input from multiple sensors to represent complex actions (motion/orientation)
Easily accessible from Metro style apps

16. Connecting to devices

17. Customers expect device connectivity
>10 billion USB devices in the market
100’s of millions of printers actively being used
Keyboards, mice and input peripherals critical for productivity
Cameras + PCs are highly important for personal memories
New device categories are emerging rapidly (e.g. fitness)

18. New device connectivity in Windows 8
USB 3 offers up 10x speed of USB 2.0, higher power for charging, lower power requirements
Bluetooth LE delivers low power wireless connectivity for longer battery life or new classes of low power devices
Wi-Fi Direct provides high bandwidth, secure, peer-to-peer device connectivity between PCs and devices
Near-field Communication is a low bandwidth, short range communication technology perfectly suited for person-to-person sharing and simplifying device pairing

19. Confident and safe

20. Customers expect confidence and safety
Starts fast and is responsive
Protection against malware
Personal and corporate data is safe

21. Delivering confidence and safety
