Highlights - Main features of Windows 8


Windows 8 is going to introduce its users to a very new user iterface with the name of "Metro". Now the regular windows start menu will be replaced by the newest user friendly start screen which will feature touch input as well. All shortcuts and applications will be metro styled and one can say that this interface to some extent is quite similar to the one found in windows phone.Besides the thumb print identifier and the traditional password input methods, this time windows will introduce the latest authentication method that requires the user to sketch on three different areas of a particular picture. 


Windows 8 is said to have another feature. This feature is the support of USB 3.0 and this time there's no need to load drivers. One of the main highlights of this higly anticipated windows version is the "Windows to Go". This is the name given to the feature that will allow users to run windows from a USB flash drive. Also in this version of windows will be the support of multiple monitors with the ability to display different backgrounds at the same time on different monitors.|

Another big and very useful change that users will notice in windows 8 is that the user accounts on a system can be linked with one's windows live ID. This means that all the settings anf files would be safe as one shifts from one computer to another. A new Hybrid Boot feature will be available that allow even fast start ups through advanced hibernation techniques. Windows 8 will also include a very new user interface for the Task Manager.
