Main Differences betweenwindows7 and windows 81)boot time: win7 48 sec. win8 10sec.2)desktop : Microsoft has replacedthe normal shortcuticons withdynamic tiles. You can change theirsize and place similar applicationsaround each other- or anything elsethat my suit you.3)mounting iso images: Windows 7could only burn an ISO image to aDVD but Windows 8 actually bettersthis by offering you the option tomount the image too. In Windows7, you didn’t have the option tomake virtual drives to use the ISOimage’s content but Windows 8allows you tocreate a virtual drive to mount theISO image so that you can easily useit just like a normal DVD.4)Built-in Antivirus(bad news forhackers): Windows 8 has anantivirus present inside the kernelof the operating system. This meansthatyour system won’t boot if a corruptUSB device is plugged in. It soundsimpressive though I don’t knowwhether it would pass the test oftime…. and viruses! All in all, I doexpect Windows 8 to be a seriousupgrade on Windows 7 and withMicrosoft working on the thingsthat require some tweaking; Igenuinely believe that Microsoft isfinally ready to launch an OS whichwill take the world by storm5)Multiple monitors support inWindows : Microsoft announced thatcustomers can use more than onemonitor to connect with Windows 8operating system. Windows 8 PCmanagement allows customers touse multiple monitors at same time.It means Windows 8 offersflexibility by allowing start screen atone monitor and desktop inanother.

On theother hand, Windows 7 OS ismissing all these features.7)Inbuilt Windows Touch features:The main difference betweenWindows 7 and Windows 8 comeswith its metro style interface thatprovides live title of rectangle shapewhich has replaced the icon patternin Windows8. In Windows 7 operating system,software shortcuts are in the formof icons. As far as the touchinterface is concerned thenWindows9) supports touch interface but notthat much, what was expected. So,Windows 8 comes with true touchinterface for Metro style apps. It isfast way of accessing data by usingan improved on-screen keyboardand handwriting recognition
