Windows 8 Review

                Windows 8 Operating System is not like the previous versions of Windows; Microsoft has taken a different path with this operating system. The new interface has had a complete revamp. One of the biggest things about Windows 8 is the Metro interface that gives you a modular design when viewing apps and programs that you want to access. The Metro UI has moved beyond the Windows Phone experience, and became the standard interface for just about any Microsoft product.

                Upon its initial release Windows 8 did not gain much popularity. The start button that had been part of Windows since 1995, is absent in Windows 8. Instead, if you want to view applications and programs, you must click to the bottom left corner of the screen where the start button used to be or simply press the start button on the keyboard. This new feature and Metro UI were, in case of some people, few setbacks of Windows 8.

Windows 8 also brought touch to the desktop, a feature which previously has only been confined to the smartphones. Although it is a great feature, touch still isn’t the primary means of interacting with a notebook.
