The Windows 8 operating system is the newest member of the Microsoft Windows family. It differs from
earlier Windows releases as much for which at it does not change as for what it does change. That is, the features
that IT pros loved about Windows 7 are still there in Windows 8—just better. The same keyboard shortcuts,
management tools, security features, and deployment
options are available in Windows 8. But in many cases,
Windows 8 improves them in intuitive and significant ways. Some examples are the ribbon in File Explorer
and faster disk encryption when using Bit Locker Drive Encryption. This book desc ribes these enhancements
plus many of the new features in Windows 8.
Of course, everyone is talking about the elements of the new user interface in Windows 8: the Start
screen, the modern looking Windows graphics, and so on. These are not replacements for the desktop, and it
is not an either-or choice that you have to make. For desktop apps, the same desktop that you used in
Windows 7 is still there in Windows 8. You can still pin apps to the taskbar, pin files to those apps, and so on.
The keyboard and mouse work the same way as it did before on the desktop. But Windows 8 uses a Start
screen instead of the tiny Start menu in Windows 7. The most obvious benefit is that there is more real estate
available, so apps can display dynamic, live information on their Tiles (icons) to bring the latest information
to you at a single glance.
Windows 8 also introduces Windows 8 apps. These are full screen, immersive apps that provide a different
experience than you might be used to with traditi onal desktop apps. They do not have chrome. App
commands (menu items) only appear when you need them. Importantly, Windows 8 and Windows 8 apps
provide a first-class touch experience, so you can swipe, flick, and use other intuitive gestures to get around
them.
