Overview What is Windows 8? What are some new features of Windows 8? Availability. Critics and Effects to people’s lives.

 The next generation of Microsoft Windows.  An operating system produced by Microsoft.  Primarily focuses on TOUCH.  Is used for personal computers.

Some new major features The touch factor. Picture Password. New File Copy Confirmation dialog box. Support for USB 3.0 Native support for mounting VHD and ISO disc images. Faster boot time.

The touch factor Allow users to use Windows with the touch interface as well as with mouse and keyboard. Allow users to do two things at one by clicking the tiles along the side. Work really fast and fluid to get between your running app.

Windows Explorer Ribbon  Allow users to optimize Explorer for file management tasks.  Create logical and reliable locations in a streamline experience.  Bring back the most relevant and requested features from the Windows XP era.

New File Copy Confirmation Dialog Box  It is designed to make life easier.  Show individual progress bars when you have multiple copy operations occurring simultaneously.  Allow to pause a copy operation, if you want to give preference to another operation.

 Display a new conflict resolution dialog box if a conflict occurs while copying files.  Allows users to handle the situation much easier.

Native USB support  Still supporting USB 1.0 and USB 2.0 devices.  In the meantime, USB 3.0 will offer 10 times faster than USB 2.0 and much better power management.

Other features Supporting for mounting VHD and ISO disc images. * Windows Explorer allows users to select an ISO image and access its contents via a drive letter. * Constantly create a virtual CDROM or DVD drive and assign it to the next available drive letter to the new removable drive. Faster boot time. * Need only seconds to boot the system by hibernating the kernel session instead of shutting it down

Availability  Not yet announced in reality.  Expected to be available in 2012.

Major Critics and Effects Not so many major changes in Windows 8, comparing to Windows 7, except for the touch screen option. Mouse and keyboard are practically useless beyond pointing, clicking and typing. Give users the option to use a Windows Live ID but not clear what data and where will be it stored?
