Windows 8 is latest Operating System from Microsoft. While three pre-released version are already released by the Microsoft, final release is due on October 2012. A lot of new features has been added in Windows 8. They are expecting to add more new features by the time it will released for general availability.
Here are some brief introduction of the new features of Windows 8.
1. Metro User Interface
Microsoft is actually layering a new animation-enabled user interface (UI) in Windows 8. A user interface, extensively redesigned which incorporates its Metro design language is featured in Windows 8 and it is optimized for touchscreens as well as keyboard and mice.
2. Faster boot time
Windows 8 boot speed is more faster than of windows 7 and its predecessors. A technique where system kernel hibernates (think of it as your OS’s resource manager) when you shut down, and it becomes mostly a partial hibernation every time. So, when you reboot your system, the ‘memory’ of your previous session gets reinitialized more faster. Also Better resource allocations to applications and the system plays part in this.
3.Internet Explorer 10
Finally, the funny meme about internet explorer would come to end. (At least we hope) because the internet explorer 10 which is built in windows 8, is designed to offer faster browsing through greater hardware acceleration, along with rapid gesture-based zoom, pan, and Web site navigation. Cool thing is, its going to be touch screen.
