The Start up screen featuring Modern UI is what distinguishes Windows 8 from Windows 7. Well, this is not the end! Windows 8 OS has many other latest features to offer to you besides its revamped interface. Cloud service for account sync, novel ways of personalization of the desktop, multi-monitor settings and so on, are some of the primary enhancements of this operating system.

This recent invention of Microsoft’s operating system offers a set of new tools whose correspondent feature is not available in the Windows 7 OS. Let’s check out the features…

Revamped Multi-Monitoring Settings 
Microsoft has added a number of improved features in Windows 8 for enhancing the settings of multiple monitoring. With every display, you can enjoy different backgrounds and taskbars. You get all the new features in the traditional desktop. The Inside-edge detection enables you to have access to the Running Apps and Charms bar. Whereas in Windows 7, you can either get the displays or treat more than one monitor as one single display area.

Storage Spaces
This feature is an improvised version of the older Windows Home Server. With the help of this, you can manage the external as well as the internal storage drives like one huge drive known as the storage pool. The additional advantage of this feature is – all your data is duplicated in multiple drives in ‘storage pool’ for creating redundancy when there is single drive failure.

Picture Password
This is areal new thing for the new operating system. It’s really boring to use the conventional rule for password with alphabets and numbers and characters. Windows 8 brings an innovation in the password; it offers you the support for picture password. For creating a picture password, you have to select any of the photos from the image library and make three gestures on it by combining taps, straight lines and circles.

Automatic Change of Window Color
There is a new feature in Windows 8 for automatic adjustment of window color in traditional desktop to comply with the background image. For instance, suppose you have the picture of the sky, the taskbar and window changes to blue color. Again, in case you have image in brown hues, taskbar and windows will turn to brown. So, now you can beautify your desktop as you want!

Speedier Startup
The boot time in Windows 8 is much faster than Windows 7. Thanks to the latest hybrid system Microsoft has introduced in this new OS. In this new hybrid system, there are processes of hibernation and cold boots. The use of multiple cores with parallel to boot delivers less time in starting up of the operating system.
These and many more such advantages can be enjoyed with Windows 8 OS. Install this operating system and have a great time computing in a user-friendly interface! Once you start using Windows 8, you cannot use any other operating system. It’s a bet...
