All about Windows 8 (2012) – Technology Times

The world has shifted to the touch generation so does the gadgets. The apps add a bit of color since almost every app has its own color. The clear, homogeneous design of the Metro desktop was sacrificed in favor of personal adaptability. The way the new Metro UI and the updated desktop interact with the keyboard and mouse interface is crucial to 90 percent of the Windows user base as it the most familiar way of interacting with ones content and the most known way of getting work done. In the coming days we’ll have a replacement in the technology because we are now able to produce/manufacture the touch technology. Like most Microsoft downloads, downloading Windows 8 Developer Preview was quick for a 4 GB download. Pressured by that trend, Microsoft is updating Windows    to make PCs work more like smartphones and to bring Windows to a whole new class of devices: iPad-like touch-screen tablets. Operation has been completely optimized for inputting via touchscreen. All actions and menus are started via swiping or with a tap of a finger. Even navigating between fingers is performed with little gestures. For this, all surfaces have a big size so that they can be easily hit with a finger.

The metro look of the windows is an excellent initiative from the developers. When you launch an application designed for the Metro interface, it runs full-screen by default, not inside a window. The network issues are much improved in the latest windows.  Last month, the company launched what it calls a "consumer preview" of Windows 8, the next version of its flagship operating system. The background can't be selected freely anymore and you have to choose among nine dark colors. Although you can decide whether an app is to take up one or two columns, the number of rows is fixed. It was set to three in our device. However, for those of us who want to use computers to make documents, presentations, spreadsheets and graphic editing, Windows 8 will annoy us to no end. Right now, there are relatively few Metro apps in the store.  What apps there are do happen to be free though, which gives us a chance to try them out.  You can split the screen between two applications, but that's it. Windows has to start from scratch in a way. The Intel changes its dimensions with any of the computing architectures.  Yes, the Intel based Windows 8 devices will have backward compatibility, but if the focus is to be brought onto Metro then there needs to be some real effort made to flesh out that ecosystem. So go for the genuine copy of windows and fell the dynamic change yourself and it best suits for the touch devices/systems.
