As you can see below, there are many new features of Windows 8 vs. Windows 7 which mark a break with what used to be. However, it is interesting to see that the fragmentation with the past has not yet been given (evidenced especially in the inclusion of the classic desktop as an app), which obviously indicates that this is a transitional Windows that possibly just see their Ideas finished his successor.
1 – Reorganized Task Manager
Most essential key tools within the Windows environment has been refreshed is the Task Manager, in which it just seems like an attempt to bring this utility (traditionally reserved for users of intermediate / advanced) to the most beginners. Thus, this tool is now divided into two sectors, which are much more visual and clean.
In the first instance, the administrator displays the basic options (such as finishing a problematic process, open the file location and running to find related results on the Web). Of course, this is just the friendly side of the new administrator, which will also feature more advanced where we see the consumption of each application, startup and modification history of each app you are using.
2 – System recovery much more powerful
While we have mentioned the system recovery tools at another point, it is certain that deserves your full stop. This is because this is not a coarse and clumsy tool like the one found in Windows 7, but we find a utility closest to Time Machine for Mac systems
In other words (and unlike the current system of Microsoft), now we can return a system to a previous state problem without sacrificing personal information or files you have stored on the disk. That is, we just simply select the point you want to return and the system will handle rearrange its mechanisms to provide stable performance again.
3 – New security options
If we could understand the system restore tools just mentioned as a security option, the truth is that I want to highlight three new features that influence more directly in the preservation of the integrity of our personal data and the OS in general.
In this regard, Windows 8 presents a Secure boot through which the PC will have stored a special detection code that will verify the validity of the entire boot sequence. That is, this process is responsible to see that all that start with the system have a legitimate certificate (if not, it will not be executed). Technically, this will help prevent the terrible attack rootkits (one of the most helpful to remove threats of a system).
Moreover, the presence of the filter Smart Screen will work with Internet Explorer 10 to closely examine Internet traffic and, more specifically, all content is downloaded from it. Of course this works with a reputation system that already has to speak (and surely will continue to do).
Finally, applications will have an extra measure of safety in sandboxing, a technique by which the apps run in a safe environment that will prevent connecting to the Web or to make changes without our permission.
4 – Ribbon interface in Explorer
It may seem like a cosmetic change or a whim of Ballmer & Co. but the truth is that the inclusion of this element is not arbitrary. The Ribbon interface (the tabbed toolbar that can be found in Office since version 2007) now also be present in the Windows Explorer. Thus, the proven comfort of this utility will land in what is arguably the central component within the OS.
5 – Improved boot times and shutdown
Microsoft made it clear from day one that Windows 8 was going to be significantly faster than any Windows we’ve seen before. This is especially true for start-up time, which improves the brand almost 20 seconds then Windows 7. Meanwhile, the off time is 4 times less than the Seventh OS.
Of course, this final difference is most noticeable in certain power computers because, although the Redmond talk that Windows 8 has the same minimum requirements than 7, the fact is that for the new OS to work properly, we need twice.
