Microsoft's new Windows OS, Windows 8 has permanently changed the way Windows users see the world's most common operating system. And for the first time in Windows history, it even looks different.
Better Designed Interface
Instead of the usual desktop and home screen, your home page is actually colored tiles, each a one-click access to Windows's most important features. Inspired by a Swiss design principle called Metro, It's simpler, and (for Windows, I must reiterate) cuter than what Windows has been unto) cuter. It also gets rid of clicking through many menus to get where you want to go.
Compatible with Tablets, Laptops and Desktops
The simple interface is perfectly compatible with any device - it lends itself perfectly to touchscreen as well as the regular desktop. Windows puritans can still access the old desktop view with just a click or tap.
The software is also optimized for ARM-based processors, a default component in smartphones and tablets due their energy efficient nature.
Faster
It loads in less than eight seconds, and the Metro interface loads apps in a snap. Even the hardware offers faster solution, via the USB 3.0 and Hyper-V to put it in comparison, its as fast as Apple's iOS (iPhone/iPad) and Mac OS X Lion.
Windows App Store
After everyone else, Windows has entered the app game. This means more apps designed specifically for the Metro UI.
