Download Firefox 4 Beta 1: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/beta/

In this video I give you a hands on with Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta 1. Firefox 4 brings with it some major improvements over Firefox 3.6 including a totally reworked interface with full support for Windows 7 including deep integration with Aero Glass as well as Aero Peek. The tabs are now on top of the browser, similar to Opera and Chrome which makes Firefox look much more streamlined. If you like however you can very simply rearrange things to look similar to the outgoing Firefox.

Speed is another improvement. In my brief testing Firefox 4 was somewhat faster than Firefox 3.6.6 but still lagged behind Safari 5, Chrome 5 and Opera 10.6. However in real world browsing I found that Firefox 4 felt considerably faster than it’s predecessor and much closer to the competition than the numbers would make it seem.

In this video I give my predictions on what we can expect in Windows 8, the next version of the Microsoft operating system. Recently some slides on Windows 8 were leaked and detailed several ideas such as a Windows App Store, USB 3.0 support and facial recognition log in.

I also discuss my thoughts on what the operating system will have such as faster boot times, a reworked interface as well as a ground up redesign to improve speed, security and usability.
