Today, Microsoft demonstrated a better vision computing platform to the world. PC personal computer will not disappear, they will continue to serve businesses and consumers. Similarly, the Tablet PC will not disappear, they will continue to provide people with more intuitive ways of interaction. ( useful information: transfer ipad music to pc )

However, Microsoft’s wishes, the future of these devices one day be united. In fact, Windows 8 is fully capable of ruling their platform. Because it showed the new technology is to allow users to not only be able to use both portable devices, such as tablet PCs, but also to have the powerful PC. It can make your equipment to work last a full day, it can run Photoshop, Excel and Outlook programs, with light and professional characteristics. Although Windows 8 is far from finished, it’s solid enough for us to take a close look at the features and interface of Microsoft’s upcoming operating system. Here are the highlights, a close look at Windows 8.

Windows 8 Lock Screen

Windows 8 has a new look and feel even before the screen is unlocked. Up front, you’ll see notifications, upcoming calendar appointments, and a photo of your choosing. To unlock the screen, you can use a traditional password, or draw a pattern (one that you define) on the photo.

Search

Much like the search function in Windows Phone “Mango,” Windows 8′s search function shows a list of apps that narrows down as you type. You can also search within specific apps, or look for settings and files.

Control Panel

The Windows 8 desktop Control Panel is still a labyrinthine maze of obscure options–as it should be–but the tablet side is stripped down to the basics. Pictured here are a pair of rather useful actions: a complete factory reset and a “Refresh,” which preserves apps and data while reinstalling the core operating system.

Keyboard and Spelling Correction

The Windows 8 touch keyboard is clean and spacious, and has a formatting option for thumb typing. Spelling correction and autocomplete are built into the operating system, and users can fill out suggested words simply by tapping ‘Insert’.

File Browsing

The tablet side of Windows 8 has a file browser, but it appears only when summoned by apps that need it. Here, a Twitter client uses the file browser to select photos for a tweet. (Don’t worry; the desktop side of Windows 8 still uses Windows Explorer.)

Simple Task Manager

Need to force-close some stuff? The Task Manager in the Windows 8 desktop is a simple list of running and suspended apps, which you can shut down with a couple of clicks.

Side-by-Side Apps

In Windows 8, two “Metro-style apps” created specifically for the operating system can run side-by-side in the same window. To multitask this way, the user must drag a finger from the left bezel to bring out a second app, and then hold the app over the screen until the split view appears. It’s particularly useful for loading Web links while reading Twitter.

When Windows 8 eventually spread to the world, each user will be grateful to Apple. Because if there is no Apple iOS the pressure, I think Windows 8 will never be like this. iOS let us recognize that a platform can also play a role in the original, it is also able to allow people to interact intuitively. We have to admit, Apple’s iOS is the world’s smoothest, most rigorous logic, has the most mass market-friendly platform, it forces competitors to produce revolutionary products. However, Apple’s competitors have not released good products, that is why Apple is the world’s largest technology company.
