Microsoft seems to have changed their traditional bland designed operating systems with vibrant and colorful one, which is quite evident from Windows 8 and also smart phones running Windows Operating system. Apart from these flashy changes, they have also included some cool new un-conventional features like Windows Charms, Colorful Menus and a more fluid user interface. Boot speed has also achieved an appreciable consolidation, so much that it won’t be wrong to call it the fastest they ever pulled.
Windows 8 also seems to have bought into the idea of having a complete, one-stop shop for all the software, now more commonly known as apps.
