More Features :)

Ok so Windows 7 was the first Windows OS to implement the ability to burn an iso file without installing any extra software, but Windows 8 is the Windows OS to have the ability to mount an iso file or vhd file without installing any extra software. Just Simply Right Click on the iso or vhd file and then click Mount.

It will mount the iso or vhd file as a new drive. For example i mounted Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City

Windows 8 Also has Native drivers for USB 3.0 ports without the need to install 3rd party drivers like you had to in Windows 7.

And now when using multiple monitors it stretches the task bar across both monitors.

It syncs your settings with any computer you have setup with the same windows live id.

Did i mention the fact that when your using an app you can share whatever it is your viewing using the shortcut key windows key + H  and then choose what you want to share it to. The more social apps you have installed the more you have the ability to share to.

Windows 7 or Windows 8?

So i was using windows 7 since the beta version was released on msdn, but when the windows 8 beta came out on msdn i had to check it out and although i thought they would never make a better windows OS than Win 7 i was wrong! Win 8 is definitely the better choice and if you don't believe me try it for your self download an iso from a torrent site and try it but always make sure when u download a windows os from a torrent its a trusted torrent uploader and it comes from msdn or has it in its name!!! But anyways i would like to point out some key factors in why 8 is better than 7.

• 1st   7 doesn't run as smooth as 8 with a crappy graphics card even if you turn off the visual effects... why that is, is because windows 8 was built with something called Aerolite which later adapted to automatically detect which would run smoother on your computer.. and 7 only has Aero it doesn't have a lite version of it
• 2nd   7 doesn't have full driver compatibility where-as 8 automatically installs a generic driver until  it can locate the driver specifically for that device and its generic drivers are great 
• 3rd   7 had a problem with some wireless security methods with some wireless cards but in 8 everything seems to be fixed now
• 4th   7 had a lot of security flaws that constantly had to be updated through windows update, and 8 is said to be the most secure OS yet and i am having trouble figuring out ways around it
• 5th   7 wasn't built for touchscreens and it had little touchscreen functionality but 8 was built for both
• there are plenty of other facts i could post about why Windows 8 is better than 7

BUT ANYWAYS WHETHER YOUR AN ADVANCED COMPUTER USER OR A BASIC USER WINDOWS 8 IS THE WAY TO GO!!!!

More Cool Features

So i figured i will add a few more features i find to be intriguing about windows 8!!!
The "play to" feature for videos, pictures, and music. It allows you to stream a certain video, picture, or song to your xbox without the need for third party software

The compatibility troubleshooter... guess what people its now fixed unlike in windows 7 where it didnt work correctly it now detects which version of windows it will run best in and allows programs/games to work in windows 8 that didnt work correctly in windows 7

The internet explorer app is pretty cool... i never really was much of a fan of the IE but now it seems to be pretty legit

The app store is awesome and constantly growing... although it will never be like androids app store because  each app has to under go microsoft tests, it still has alot of good apps

The Start menu built in Win 8 is not traditional but its a great step into future of technology which is going towards touch screen computing

The security features built in to prevent people from logging into your computer... one method is for touch screen users the ability to make a picture you have to draw each time you login instead of a password, another is the fact that your windows live id can be directly linked to your windows 8 computer, which can prevent people from stealing your xbox live account or hotmail account if you have one

The fact alone that it has a desktop mode and an app mode is what amazes me the most because it isnt really just one OS its basically 2 combined into 1 to coincide with each other

windows 8 cool features

So windows 8 pro is pretty sweet both on touch screen computers and on non-touchscreen computers!
I am currently running windows 8 pro x64 legitimately through msdn on my laptop which is an old dell inspiron 1525, a dell inspiron 531s desktop, on my grandmas desktop which is a dell inspiron one 19 touch and her laptop i just fixed for her which is a toshiba satellite L305-S5955 the specs of each system will be in the next post but since i've been testing them each one seems to run smoother than windows 7 did! :)
so i've been doing some research and so far win 8 pro is by far better than windows 7 ultimate edition in both compatibility, performance, and advanced features like the task manager the task manager is way better for advanced users like me ill post pictures in the end of this post. Plus windows 8 has some pretty nifty features like instead of having to press print screen and paste it into something like paint you can simply use some new windows key shortcuts like pressing the windows key + prnt scrn  at the same time and a new screenshot will be in your pictures library. plus other features that will later be described in this blog
