INTRODUCTION OF WINDOW 8 INTERFACE

PROBLEMSWindows 8 is a personal computer operating system developed by Microsoft as part of  the Windows NT  family  of  operating  systems.  Development  of  Windows  8  started  before  the  release  of  its predecessor  ,  Windows  7,  in  2009.  It  was  announced  at CES 2011,  and  followed  by  the  release  of three pre-release versions from September 2011 to May 2012. The operating system was released to manufacturing on 1 August 2012, and was released for general availability on 26 October 2012. 

Windows  8  introduced  major  changes  to  the  operating  system's  platform  and user  interface to improve  its  user  experience  on tablets,  where  Windows  was  now  competing  with mobile  operating systems, including Android and iOS.

Windows  8  was  released  to  a  mixed  critical  reception.  Although  reaction  towards  its  performance improvements, security enhancements, and  improved support  for  touchscreen devices was positive, the new user  interface of  the operating system was widely criticized  for being potentially confusing and difficult to learn.

Conclusion• Windows 8’s Modern apps make very poor use of

this screen real estate. I can’t even have multiple apps on screen at a time. Windows 8 feels like it’s designed only for 1366×768 13” touchscreen laptops.

• The Windows Store is a very sad place. The number of apps has improved, but quality is more important than quantity – and the quality just isn’t there. My PC doesn’t need crippled tip calculator apps, it needs powerful software.

Future work

• In a future update, you’ll also be able to run Metro apps in a window.

• Start menu in the future that will bring it back, along with windowed Metro feature, and presumably some other changes as well.

• You can pin Metro apps to the taskbar.
