Windows 8 is a version of Microsoft Windows released in 2012. It introduced a tile-based interface and was designed to work with both mouse/keyboard and touchscreens. Some key features included snap applications to view multiple apps at once, search from the desktop, and stream music from Xbox Music. While Windows 8 provided a faster experience across devices and introduced the Windows app store, some disadvantages were its touch-oriented Metro interface was not as compatible with desktops and multitasking was limited.

Editor's Notes
- For use on personal computers including home and business desktops, laptops, tablets and home theatre PC’s. The operating system was released to manufacturing on August 1, 2012, and was released for general availability on October 26, 2012.
- You can have 10 inch touch tablets , big screen in your living room or massive gaming systems and business desktops. Allow users to do two things at one by clicking the tiles along the side. The new user interface works well with a mouse and a keyboard in spite of being touch sensitive.
- Windows 8 has been designed for touch screens with ARM based processors in which current tablets and smart phones are run on.
- Metro UI is able to work well on the tablet but the UI is not very compatible when used on desktop.
