Something new we have been waiting for for past few months, well hold on i am not here talking about iPhone 5. So basically we are pointing out some new features introduced in windows 8. One of the main reasons for this obvious change is the new style of operating systems used by Apple on computers and iPad. Windows 8 is available for tablets and PCs to make up with for Microsoft’s technology lag.

Microsoft has released two copies of Windows till now: Windows 8 Developer’s Preview and Windows 8 Consumer Preview. Windows 8 will be officially released very soon.



1.Metro interface:

This interface is totally different from any previous one developed by Microsoft. It is really awesome especially when using a tablet. It is a relatively familiar interface for those who used Windows phone before. It contains titles for every application you have installed on your PC. These titles give a lot of information about the program status. For example the e-mail title will tell you how many unread e-mails you’ve got into your inbox. The people application which deals with your social networks accounts tell’s you about your new notifications from Facebook and mentions from Twitter.

3.SkyDrive (Windows Cloud):

Now the cloud service is available from Microsoft in Windows 8. Just like the service offered by apple known as iCloud, Windows now has the SkyDrive. This application saves a copy of your personal data from your computer and from all of windows applications like People, Mail, and Photos.

This service goes much beyond saving your files on the SkyDrive folders. You can access all of these files once you log in on any other device running SkyDrive and do sync process. At that moment you can access any of your saved, accounts, browsing history, and more.




4.Task Manager:

When hearing the word Task manager the first thought that comes to our heads is ending some hanging application. That’s how most of users deal with task manager as a killer for an application that stopped working. Apart from this function Task Manager has man other capabilities to use such as starting new task, watching your computer’s performance through charts, and more.

5.Snap Multitasking:

This tremendous feature is totally new to Microsoft Windows. It allows you to put any application running on your PC in a small strip on the side of the screen. You might not realize the importance of such a feature, but just imagine your self using any application while the news feed is working in one small strip on the side of the screen to keep up to date. This video shows you this wonderful feature.



6.New Applications:

On using previous versions of Windows, you needed to install a lot of programs to run several file formats. Now With Windows 8 you great software installed by default, and whatever you will need above this is in the store.

It has a totally version of Internet Explorer, it Internet Explorer 10. It is very different from previous versions and more relevant to the Metro interface introduced in Windows 8. Just a hint for those who used to hate Internet Explorer for being a slow browser with dozens of crashes (I’m on of them), It is not that way anymore.
