A leaked screenshot has revealed a tiny snippet more about Microsoft's forthcoming new operating system Windows 8.

The screenshot, from Win7China.com, shows the system restore for Windows 8, showing options for System Restore.

Those options offer restore to a fixed point in time or to factory settings – the latter being an already revealed new Windows 8 feature.

Fresh start

Being able to bring your computer back to the point just after Windows 8 was installed – albeit with your data present and correct is obviously an attractive option for many.

This would, of course, let you go back to a point before any malware found its way onto your system (as well as bloatware, dodgy drivers and file opening rubbish that you needed for one use).

Or simply allow you a nice clean, happy OS to start to hack away at again.

Microsoft is hoping that Windows 8 – which is considered much more of an incremental upgrade than a step change (as Windows 7 was to Vista) – can curry the same critical acclaim and public support as its predecessor.

TechRadar has already revealed that PC gaming will be a key focal point in the next-generation operating system, but it will by no means be the only improvement.
