4:-Windows 8 Highlighted Features
4.1:-ARM (Advance RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Machine Computer) Machine) Processor Support
Everyone wants to be on the tablet nowadays. To fully support mobile devices, it’s important for an OS to fully support ARM-based CPUs. If Microsoft can keep the bloating and hardware requirements under control, it may eventually compete with smartphone platforms such as iOS and Android.
4.2:-Better Touch Interface
Windows-based tablets were infamous for its horrible touch-screen interface; you simply can’t compare them with iOS and Android 3.0 Honeycomb devices. However, on Windows 8, the design elements, such as login screen, browser, task manager, file explorer and others are fully optimized for touch interface. It was also revealed that the login screen can be unlocked using pattern (finger gestures), in the same way as an Android phone does.
4.3:-Ribbons
The ribbons menu you see in the Microsoft Office 2007 and 2010 will be implemented more widely in Windows 8. Luckily, if you dislike the interface enhancement, you can revert these menus to the Windows 7-style interface.
4.4:-Improved Task Manager
Managing applications and killing resource-hogging tasks are more important on a mobile device than it is on a typical desktop computer. The Task Manager and Resource Monitor will be combined in a single window, to make it easier for you to detect and remove sluggish processes that hog the whole system down. The kill buttons are optimized for mobile devices.
Windows 8 will integrate and synchronized better with the cloud compared to Windows 7. Windows Live SkyDrive is the default gateway to the cloud, however Windows 8 allows you to install 3rd party apps and services as mapped drives.
5:-Windows 8 History Vault
More is being revealed about the new feature in Windows 8 called History Vault.
The feature will allow Windows 8 users to backup files and data automatically using the Shadow Copies function of Windows.
A special interface specifically designed for users to look back at previous files.
The backup feature will include the ability to restore to a specific time or date on the system.
Users will also be able to select files and restore them to different timestamps.
