Windows 8 preview releases where released a few months ago. Hope you guys have checked that. I got the first glimpse of the Windows 8 experience form the preview release. It was different. The introduction of Metro design is the first thing you will notice about the Windows 8. Metro is a design which focus more on typography and less on graphics. The start menu is replaced by a start screen.

The start screen aka the new desktop for the Windows 8, is the most important change in Windows 8. The start screen is place you use as a dashboard of all the application and the widgets. Windows 8 is build for widgets and app like you Android or iPhone device. You can download millions of apps and install it in your Windows 8 like a software. The app will have a widget for the start screen which will give you the glimpse of that app in the start screen.

Windows 8 is build for touch devices with gesture actions. This is the part I am not sure whether Windows 8 is going to be a success in desktop PCs as I didn’t feel much convenience in using it with a mouse and keyboard. But as said globally, Windows 8 is for Tablet  devices.

With the introduction of  Windows 8, Tablets devices got a new power to go to the mainstream computing. Windows 8 will be awesome in a Tablet device, with its new design technology Metro and the easy to use start screen.

Lets wait a couple of days and see how Windows 8 going to hit the markets. Stay tuned for more updates.
