Today, Windows Division prexy Steven Sinofsky treated Build 2011 (http://www.engadget.com/tag/Build2011/) attendees to a walkthrough of the various tweaks, subtle or otherwise, Microsoft's (http://www.engadget.com/tag/microsoft/) made to Windows 8 (http://www.engadget.com/tag/windows8). Staying true to its roots, the new OS implements the familiar keyboard commands users have become accustomed to over the years -- you know, like CMD and Ctrl+F. And as for its update to Internet Explorer, MS has imbued its tenth iteration with the ability to switch between the much-hyped Metro-style UI and plain old desktop view -- all according to your whimsy. Of course, Redmond's instituted other sweeping changes across the platform, and you can check some of the highlights after the break.
