Main Differences between windows 7 and windows 8

Main Differences between
windows
7 and windows 8
1)boot time: win7 48 sec. win8
10
sec. 2)desktop : Microsoft has
replaced
the normal shortcut icons with
dynamic tiles. You can change
their
size and place similar applications
around each other- or
anything else
that my suit you.
3)mounting iso images:
Windows 7 could only burn an ISO image
to a
DVD but Windows 8 actually
betters
this by offering you the
option to mount the image too. In
Windows
7, you didn’t have the option
to
make virtual drives to use the
ISO image’s content but Windows
8
allows you to
create a virtual drive to mount
the
ISO image so that you can easily use
it just like a normal DVD.
4)Built-in Antivirus(bad news
for
hackers): Windows 8 has an
antivirus present inside the kernel
of the operating system. This
means
that
your system won’t boot if a
corrupt USB device is plugged in. It
sounds
impressive though I don’t
know
whether it would pass the test
of time…. and viruses! All in all, I
do
expect Windows 8 to be a
serious
upgrade on Windows 7 and
with Microsoft working on the
things
that require some tweaking; I
genuinely believe that
Microsoft is
finally ready to launch an OS which
will take the world by storm
5)Multiple monitors support in
Windows : Microsoft
announced that
customers can use more than one
monitor to connect with
Windows 8
operating system. Windows 8
PC
management allows customers to
use multiple monitors at same
time.
It means Windows 8 offers
flexibility by allowing start
screen at one monitor and desktop in
another. Customer can also
choose
taskbar on both screens with
different icons on each
monitor. Moreover, you can play with
background images as well by
changing it separate on each
monitor. Such support is not
available with Windows 7
operating system.
6)Windows based apps store
Windows 8 operating system
introduces new app store in
which
different apps is implemented for
various devices and settings on
right
of the screen. The settings
section
includes contextual apps like volume, brightness, restart
and
power options. You can share
content, links, app reviews,
contacts, metro apps,
Facebook and twitter applications with your
friends or colleagues. Windows
8
store offers both desktop apps
and
ecosystem for developers. On the
other hand, Windows 7 OS is
missing all these features.
7)Inbuilt Windows Touch
features:
The main difference between Windows 7 and Windows 8
comes
with its metro style interface
that
provides live title of rectangle
shape which has replaced the icon
pattern
in Windows
8. In Windows 7 operating
system,
software shortcuts are in the form
of icons. As far as the touch
interface is concerned then
Windows
9) supports touch interface but
not that much, what was
expected. So,
Windows 8 comes with true
touch
interface for Metro style apps.
It is fast way of accessing data by
using
an improved on-screen
keyboard
and handwriting recognition
