Hi All,
So far, I have written only bad about Windows 8. Probably because I was not used to the change it brought in. I start this thread to record what all improvements Windows 8 brings in over the previous versions of Windows 8. Among the major advantages of Windows 8 over Windows 7 are:
1. Quick Boot: This is a feature I love. Instead of turning on the computer and waiting for it to boot for long, I now get to the Start screen within 10 seconds. That is on a Celeron powered notebook!!!
2. Shutdown: It seems as quick as pressing the POWER button in old 8086 machines running MS-DOS (Remember them?)
3. Boot to Internet ready Interface: Unlike Windows 7 that shows desktop while still loading drivers for Internet, I can fire Internet as soon as I get to the start screen. No waiting here as well.
4. Navigation: Strange enough, I am not missing the Start menu nor the Start screen. Scrolling using the mouse wheel is fun. It is a different matter that I removed all unnecessary apps to make it a smaller scroll.
Will keep you updated as I get comfortable with the new operating system. Let us see what all advantages of URL SNIPPED SINCE I AM NOT ALLOWED TO POST THEM YET you found over Windows 7.
