As you may have seen windows 8 is the latest operating system of Microsoft, replacing the most famous and most used by people which is the windows 7. Is there really difference between the two said operating systems? What makes windows 7 way better than windows 8? or is it the other way around?

Windows 8 introduces significant changes to the operating system’s platform, primarily focused towards improving its user experience on mobile devices such as tablets to better compete with other mobile operating systems like Android and Apple’s iOS.Windows 8 introduces a new touch-friendly shell and user interface based on Microsoft’s “Metro” design language, featuring a new Start screen with a grid of dynamically updating tiles that represent applications. The Start screen replaces the “Start menu” of earlier Windows versions. There is a new app platform with an emphasis on touchscreen input, and the new Windows Store to obtain and/or purchase applications to run on the operating system. For the Windows 7, according to Dan Grabham from the techradar website, it “was a big hit for Microsoft, turning things around from the troublesome Windows Vista and reminding people that the Redmond giant was not quite ready to hang up its hat just yet.” Something else that they need to do is “show that Windows can work on iPad-like tablets. But it still needs to dominate on laptops and desktops.” How does Microsoft plan to do this? There are a handful of differences between this and Windows 7. First, like Windows 7 this one supports touch, but does so much better, so much so that “you can even close windows and select menu items without issue (the start screen itself is actually built for touch).” He has also written that this works even on non-touch machines. Second, the start screen now has, “the same kind of live tiles and data as Windows Phone’s home screen.” And, this “can be used as an application launcher for desktop apps, or Windows 8 Modern UI apps.” Third, is the multiple monitor support. Dan Grabham writes that it is now possible to “have the start screen on one monitor and the desktop in another, or choose to have the Windows 8 Desktop and taskbar on both screens. Also, “Windows 8 also enables you to split screen between Modern UI Windows 8 apps.” There are also new things from Windows 8. So you decide, windows 8 or windows 7?
