much faster. The bottom line is that it's just like a<br />

clean boot in a fraction of the time.<br />

3. Innovative & Dynamic Desktop<br />

The tiles-based interface, or the Metro UI,<br />

will be the first thing you see upon logging in to<br />

Windows 8. At first glance, the UI seems to go<br />

intuitively with touchscreen devices like tablets and<br />

smartphones. Indeed, in such devices, you tap on<br />

those apps to open them. The grid layout seems<br />

to facilitate such interactions. Needless to say, you<br />

can customize your grid by adding and arranging<br />

applications.<br />

The coolest thing, however, is that not only<br />

does Windows 8 allows you to personalize your<br />

desktop with the organization of the apps, it is<br />

also able to display real-time information through<br />

them. Microsoft had demonstrated how the tile for<br />

a weather app could reveal the current temperature<br />

in a city without having to activate the app. The<br />

same goes for emails and such. In one glance over<br />

your files tiles, you can have access to all that you<br />

need to be notified and take action on those which<br />

are urgent.<br />

4. Improved Search Function<br />

Unlike Windows 7, Windows 8 has no search<br />

box at the bottom of the Start menu.It doesn’t even<br />

have the trademark Start menu! That doesn’t mean<br />

that there’s no convenient search function available.<br />

All you need to do is to type anything, and a search<br />

box will appear from the right and give you the<br />

results. The search capability is even stronger this<br />

time, displaying all the matching apps and files<br />

instantaneously. You can also search within apps<br />

that utilize Windows 8's search function. The search<br />

pane that pops out on the right of your desktop<br />

will contain the list of apps which you can conduct<br />

the search in. For instance, if you’re looking for<br />

the emails sent by a particular contact, typing that<br />

name and clicking on the email app would allow<br />

you to search from within.<br />

5. Windows To Go<br />

Of the entire list here, this is one feature that<br />

offers the most convenience to users. 'Windows To<br />

Go' allows users to make a copy of their OS complete<br />

with their settings, wallpapers, files and even apps,<br />

into a USB thumb drive. Plugged it into another<br />

computer with Windows 8 already installed, and<br />

you can boot up the PC and make it look exactly<br />

alike the OS you normally use, with all settings<br />

intact. It sounds rather amazing, doesn’t it? The<br />

potential for such a feature is high and possibilities,<br />

many. For one, a virus-infected and crashed system<br />

could be revived by simply plugging in the USB<br />
