At the end of the BUILD Conference last year, where Windows 8 was finally officially revealed, Microsoft has shown a slide (shown above) with a huge list of things that unfortunately Microsoft didn’t talked during the keynotes.

Well, Long Zheng from the iStartedSomething website using the “impressive” power of magnification revealed some interesting features not showed of:

 

Integrated load balancing – if you have multiple active network connections, Windows 8 will intelligently balance network traffic between them for performance

Stereo 3D video and gaming – would suggest native support for stereoscopic display output

Easy discover apps that support a language – would suggest Windows Store will allow browsing by language

Filter apps that are accessible – similar to above, for applications that are accessible

Start background – there will be the ability to change the Start background (not possible in developer preview)

Create Live ID in Windows OOBE – users whitout Live IDs will be able to create one at the Windows setup

Phone as Smartcard – the ability to use Windows Phone as an authenticator for login?

Communication over SMS on my PC – the ability to send and receive SMS

Native support to WIMAX and LTE
