Screenshots and videos of a supposed build of Windows Blue have leaked online, showing some interface changes compared to Windows 8. There are also indications that Microsoft is readying Blue builds of Windows RT and Windows Server.
According to the leaks, Windows Blue is getting some new tweaks such as resizable tiles, such as those already present in Windows Phone 8. It seems that users will be also able to customize the Start Screen without having to use the Desktop Control Panel. The screen shots also include some new apps, including a timer, calculator, sound-recorder and a "Movie Moments" app.
A new snap view also appears on a leaked video, which allows two windows to be snapped side-by-side so that each takes up half the size of the display, as well as an option to have four apps displayed simultaneously.
