Key features of Windows 8 operating system

NEW YORK, USA: eMazzanti Technologies, an IT support and computer expert serving the Hoboken, NJ and New York City areas has said that the company has reviewed the new Windows 8 operating system.

"The power and capabilities of Windows 8 are going make many small businesses set up and pay attention," commented Jennifer Mazzanti, president of eMazzanti Technologies.

"Microsoft talks about the new offering as 're-imagining' the OS and so far it doesn't disappoint."

At a recent BUILD Conference, Microsoft continued to showcase the features and benefits of the Windows 8 beta.

Some of the features as described by eMazzanti Technologies are outlined below.

Touch-First User Interface:

* Metro style. Windows 8 introduces a new Metro style interface built for touch, which shows information important to you, embodies simplicity and gives you control. The Metro style UI is equally at home with a mouse and keyboard as well.

* Touch-first browsing, not just browsing on a touch device. Providing a fast and fluid touch-browsing experience, Internet Explorer 10 puts sites at the center on new Windows 8 devices.

* More ways to engage with powerful, connected apps.

* Powered by apps. Metro style apps built for Windows 8 are the focal point of your experience, filling your entire screen so there are no distractions.

* Apps can work together. Apps communicate with each other in Windows 8. For example, you can easily select and email photos from different places, such as Facebook, Flickr or on your hard drive.

* Your experience syncs across your devices. Live roams all the content from the cloud services you use most - photos, email, calendar and contacts - keeping them up-to-date on your devices.

* With SkyDrive, you can access your files, photos and documents from virtually anywhere with any browser or with Metro style apps in Windows 8.
