Windows 8: Microsoft has designed the new operating system to be compatible with a new touch. Microsoft to hold old traditional desktop and change user interface to the new one. Designed to focus on the main commands by touching in it so the result is a new screen that Microsoft called "Metro".

Windows 8 is designed for touch screens so device that fits them is the tablet rather than PC or Laptop. That means in a simple way that  Microsoft intended to compete with the iPad. However,Microsoft desktop systems have a strong legacy so this is used as a selling point over Apple's iPad.

There are two versions of Windows 8 as use for a desktop computer and  for Tablet.  Windows 8 version is available for both desktop and Metro modes which support the present programs available in the market such as Photoshop, Firefox, Auto CAD and Warcraft  (anything running on Windows 7 was going to work on the desktop that developed of  Windows 8 as well), it is divided into two sub-versions as the Standard and the Professional.

This version of Windows 8 is designed for the Intel CPU. All personal computers are in this category so people have a laptop or desktop computer running Windows 8 will not have to purchase Windows 8 Standard or Pro to install.

In addition to laptop or desktop, We will see new equipment as a hybrid between tablet and notebook. That is the screen can be removed as a tablet  and If you want to type or use the mouse - keyboard, it can be "the body" with a normal laptop keyboard as well. This new device is called "The tablet hybrid".

Microsoft also has a small set of Windows 8 with Metro mode that only puts into the tablets sold in the market now. It is called  Windows RT which designed specifically for tablets. The hardware is the same as the ARM processor family, the smart phone and tablet used. (Including the iPhone and iPad ). It has been cut out the operating mode for the desktop in order to make it lighter and longer battery life. The Metro is an application designed for touch screens already. It works well on the tablet.

moreover, Microsoft Office 2013 Special Edition (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, One Note) can be used in Windows RT so to guarantee the Windows RT tablet will come out good, Microsoft also launches Microsoft Surface in the market.
