Now-a-days lots of screenshots of Windows 8 builds are getting leaked and revealing new secret features.
A few new screenshots have been leaked by WinFuture website which reveal new "Genuine Center" and "Applications" folder.
"Genuine Center" is a new Windows component which is used to activate Windows. It shows activation status along with Windows edition name and activation date.
Note that earlier Windows versions show these details in System Properties window.
"Applications" folder shows installed programs in a single place. Nice initiative.

I think it's interesting to note that judging from the minor details in the screenshots, it appears that the Genuine Center is being tested in a Windows 8 system that is still using Windows 7 components for activation b/c of the "Current Edition" part stating "Windows 7" and b/c of the status bar+"up" button which lends me to assume this is a Windows 8- exclusive feature.

Microsoft is trying to make Windows like Mac OS X.
Features like the "History Vault" and the "Applications folder" are just examples of this...
But hey, common Microsoft! Try to come out with your own cool features!
