The most obvious difference between Windows 8 and its predecessor is that the user interface. Windows 7 Touch support but Windows 8 really brings a touch interface needed in the future. Metro UI interface which was developed on Windows Phone is carried to Windows 8.
That means that the tile (tile) is used instead of the menu difficult to use for the ability to meet the program you want to boot a lot faster, along with on-screen keyboard is much improved over the next to the handwriting recognition capabilities.

2. Replace the Start menu

Replacing the familiar Start menu is a start screen that allows the use of tile and other data appear on screen like in Windows Mobile 7. However, the use will become much more flexible for users.
When you open an application, you still get garbage familiar but the taskbar and Start menu button takes you back to the start screen.

3. Support for multiple monitors better

Microsoft has decided to reform management features of desktop computer is much better, this is really necessary for those who want to use multiple monitors for their work.
That means now you can start with a screen text editor and a screen for web surfing, or simply that you can perform each task on a separate screen.

4. More attractive

Microsoft has made Windows 8 becomes more attractive to the search function and sharing as well as the equipment and settings.
The charm of this work on different applications, devices and settings can be swipe from the right of the screen.
Charm not just stop there, it goes under the context menu in the application you are using, including volume control, brightness, ... It also provides functions to restart and shutdown options.
Sharing content is pretty easy, just provide links or anything else to support Metro applications, including Facebook and Twitter.

5. Search

With the Start menu, the search is available that allows users to type and get the results on the screen for programs and files.
You can also choose the applications that can search through Internet Explorer, such as searching through Bing.

6. ARM Support

Until now, Windows only supports the x86 architecture was built for the traditional family computer, but Windows 8 saw the change as the operating system can also support devices running on ARM .
The chip design company ARM is concentrating very much to the increasing number of devices, along with that is that Microsoft's goal is to give your Windows becomes more widely popular as possible.

7. Windows Store

Although not part of the construction of the Store of the Microsoft Windows Dev but will be considered as an important part of Windows 8, providing applications for tablet and an ecosystem of developers from software.
There are no news about the reduction in sales of Windows Store app store, but the company indicates that we can buy on this application.

8. Integrated cloud platform

Although Microsoft might disagree with the opinion of Steve Jobs about him that we are in an era of tablet, but based on Microsoft's recent actions show that the company is a major concern to the development of cloud computing centers in Windows 8.
That means that Windows 8 can synchronize data on SkyDrive, conducted synchronize the settings between the personal computer (including web browsing history in IE) and photos are shared on multiple computers different.
