Windows 8 operating system’s interface is one of those interfaces that look really cool on ads, but appears to be designed to be used more with touch screen devices in mind. I am running the Windows 8 operating system on a 4 GB RAM Pentium processor Acer laptop that is trying to support the Windows 8 OS and frankly, it is not doing a great job. In a world of instant gratification, nobody will wish to wait for 30 seconds for the apps to load, when it takes only 2 seconds for these apps to load on other computers. The Windows 8 OS is supposed to be pretty speedy.
I guess that the Windows 8 operating system would be more exciting on an i7 processor that could support the features of Windows 8 and will be able to run the operating system more efficiently. Once you reach the Start page of the OS, you will see a tile that allows the users to click on the desktop. But in reality, many of the users like the desktop of Windows 7 operating system more than that of the Windows 8 OS. The Windows 7 vs Windows 8 page states that the desktop of Windows 8 works much like the desktop of Windows 7, but there is no Start button in the Windows 8 operating system.
Instead, the user can slide the mouse over the left hand corner and a picture of the tile will pop up so that the user will be able to jump into the Start page. It is true that the Windows 8 operating system is more effective with touch screen laptop computers. The user can slide the mouse over the upper left hand corner and then slide down to see what other programs and apps are open at the given time. The apps that are not on the desktop will not open on the desktop, meaning that you will not be able to access them at the same time unless you click and drag them to the side of the screen so that you can have two apps open simultaneously.
It will take a while for the user to get the hang of the Windows 8 operating system. If you wish to know more on the features and comparison of the Windows 8 and Windows 7 operating systems, you can visit the Windows 7 vs Windows 8 page in the official Microsoft website.
