Windows 8 Features

               Windows 8 certainly has got a mind blowing User Interface, which has been extensively redesigned to a “Metro-style” design, which shows the most important information to us, embodies simplicity, and gives us full control over it. The UI is designed to provide a fluid and intuitive interaction and navigation with touch, or a mouse and keyboard.

            Windows 8 will work on both ARM based tablets and traditional x86 PCs based on ARM processors from Intel and AMD. It gives support for ARM-based chipsets, touch, and sensors makes Windows 8 work efficiently and beautifully on our choice of a full spectrum of devices, such as 10-inch slates with all-day battery life, ultra-lightweight laptops, and powerful all-in-ones with 27-inch high-definition screens. 

                Unlike the traditional way of entering a password to unlock the screen, Windows 8 can be unlocked by just tapping on the right areas of the screen. The Windows 8 Logon screen is shown below:

               The Start screen is yet another impressive UI. The screen groups all our applications together, which we can easily drag and drop, or add new things. The windows 8 Start screen is shown below:

Windows 8 Release Date

              We can expect this latest efficient version towards the end of 2012, however, it’s too early to predict the Windows 8 release date, since it is still under development.
