New Era Begins: Say Hello to Windows 8 Touch
The new Windows 8 prototype demoed on a tablet computer and a laptop revealed its all new features, which are similar to Windows Phone 7. The exciting feature on Windows 8 is its 'touch interface' that features tile-based Start screen. In earlier versions of Windows, Microsoft used Windows Start button, Task Bar and Tiles, but the new version replaced all these with a single 'Start screen.'
Anyhow, the Windows 8 version will support all applications that run on Windows 7. Although the new user interface is designed and optimized for touch, it works equally well with a mouse and keyboard. Windows 8 apps use the power of HTML5, tapping into the native capabilities of Windows using standard JavaScript and HTML to deliver new kinds of experiences.
Microsoft claimed that the new Windows 8 apps are full-screen and touch-optimized, and they easily integrate with the capabilities of the new Windows user interface. Microsoft opened a new era for app developers to come up with apps running on Windows 8 platform.

"Our aim with Windows 8 is to make the user experience a natural extension of the device, from the time you turn on your PC through how you interact with the applications you know and love," said Mike Angiulo, corporate vice president of Windows Planning, Hardware and PC Ecosystem at Microsoft.
"This represents a fundamental shift in Windows design that we haven't attempted since the days of Windows 95, presenting huge opportunities for our hardware partners to innovate with new PC designs." he added.
