What's New in Windows 8 Pro?

Posted by Aaditya Brahmbhatt on 07:03
Ah! I think you are one of the users who are finding Windows 8 Pro free download links. But do you know new features of  Windows 8 Pro.
Here we have added some new features of Windows 8 Pro. If you want to learn more just Read More.
Microsoft has added some new funky features on their all new OS. It looks stunning. This is usable for desktops, laptops & tablets too! Microsoft has focused on the all new tiled and touch centric interface. They added the mixture of all new metro interface including the traditional desktop. They have used Graphs on many places like file-coping, task manager etc. How can we forget all new lock screen feature looking like smart phone.


Faster Windows Boot & Low memory use:
This thing has to notice that if you have used Windows 8 Release Preview. You might have seen fastest boot along the all Windows operating systems, and this is why that this time we are not going to use it only on Desktop & Laptops but we also have to enjoy it on our Windows Surface. Which is not powerful (just talking about the battery, RAM power) as the Laptops or PCs. You may also notice the faster processes of copy-paste or any other activity or processes. It has noticeable speed increseing. That’s great.
Competition with Mac makes Microsoft fear to make windows 8 faster than windows 7. Tablet users and netbook users especially should notice a fairly significant performance increase with Windows 8. Especially considering that any of your tablet-based apps will suspend themselves when you jump into the traditional desktop, so all they take up is a little of that extra RAM!!!
All new lock screen:
Windows 8 Lock screen contains picture, time, mail counts and much more. You can swipe up to unlock, or press the spacebar if you're on a desktop keyboard. You can than Log In with your password OR all new windows draw Log In pattern. This is what like your smart phone. You can use this thing easily on touch screen device. With this all new feature Windows looks better to go on.

The Start Screen
Once you log in, you're taken to Windows 8's new Start screen, which replaces the old Start menu. The screen should be familiar to Windows Phone users: You've got a set of tiles, each of which represents an application and many of which show information and notifications that correspond to the app. For example, your email tile will tell you how many unread emails you have (and who they're from), your calendar tile will show upcoming events; your music tile will show you what's playing, and so on. Once you have installed any software tile of the app will added to the start screen. The tablet-optimized apps are all full screen and "immersive", though, and you can rearrange their icons on the home screen easily (just as you would on any other tablet platform). At any time, you can press Win+D or click on the Desktop tile to go to the familiar Windows desktop instead.

The Desktop

Once you entered the on the desktop, you will see your old friends there. Like Icons, taskbar and the application windows (though they have a new, flatter, Aero-less theme). You will find start button missing. You can move your mouse to the bottom left hot corner and click to return to the Start screen, or press the Windows key as normal. Like the old Start menu, you can start typing any time you're on the Start screen to start searching for an app or setting, giving you quick access to everything on your computer.
Pressing the Windows button and typing in an app or setting is faster than browsing the Start menu anyway, it is pretty thing and you can always access a more traditional menu by pressing Win+X—this will bring up a small menu in the corner that has shortcuts to the Control Panel, Run, the Command Prompt.

Full Screen & Side by Side Apps

You can pin your favorite apps to the taskbar, as usual, most of your apps will reside on the Start screen, just like they used to reside in the Start menu. Just tap or click on the tile for the app you want to launch (you can also search it). Tablet-optimized apps will go full screen, while others will shoot you back to the desktop.
The full-screen apps that come with Windows 8 are really nice. . Surf Internet with all new featured Internet Explorer with full screen. Most have touch-based controls, like pinch to zoom and copy and paste, but you can also use them with a mouse and keyboard if you want to. Each has options like search, share, and settings through the Charms bar, which you can get by swiping from the right edge of the screen(for touch screen) you can take your cursor to right bottom corner to top or pressing Win+C. Apps can share information one another easily, such as selected text or photos After picking your media from one app, you'll then be able to choose which app you want to share with, and work with it from there. For example, you can share photos to Facebook, send text from a web page in an email, and so on.
None of this is brand new to touch-based platforms, but run these apps side by side. Say you want to watch a video and keep an eye on your news feed at the same time. Just like in Windows 7 for the desktop, you can dock an app to one side of the screen while docking another app at the opposite side but it is not so appreciating, but this is a seriously cool feature. Imagine being able to IM and play a game at the same time.

The Windows Store

The Windows Store looks much like the start screen; you can search for app in app store from directly start menu. You can select tiles that correspond to different categories and featured apps. From there, you can look at a more detailed list of the available apps in a given section. And, the store contains not only touch-based apps for the tablet interface, but some of the more traditional desktop Windows apps you're used to, so you have one portal to discover all your Windows apps no matter what interface you're using. The Store has free and paid apps, and you can try paid apps before you commit to buying, which is really, really nice. Still app store is newly started there are not much apps added but day by day thousands of apps are added and that is nice thing.


Sync All Your Data to the Cloud

The cloud is taking center stage in Windows 8 like Mac OS, with your Microsoft account driving all the syncing. Your address book, photos, SkyDrive data, and even data within third-party apps can sync up to the cloud, and you can access them on any Windows 8 device even a brand new one. Just sign in, and you'll have access to everything. The address book also syncs with other services like Facebook and Twitter as well. You can even sync all of your settings from one Windows 8 PC to another. Just sign onto your Windows 8 with a Microsoft account and you'll get all your themes, languages, app settings, taskbar, and other preferences will show right up.


Windows Explorer(now File Explorer)
Windows Explorer has gone through a few changes this time around, most notably the "Ribbon" interface we've come to know from Microsoft Office. Instead of traditional menus like View, you now have three Ribbon panes: Home, Share, and View, that give you access to the features that used to be in the menus. If you're in a folder designed for certain file types like the "Pictures" library you'll get a few extra Ribbon panes centered around photos, which is pretty cool. This time Windows Explorer also has native mounting of ISO files, now you can mount and surf your ISO files (Yeah No need of Winzip). A one folder up button and a quick access toolbar in the left-hand corner that will let you add your favorite shortcuts to the title bar. It also has a new file copy dialog that makes it easier to manage move-and-replace actions with lots of files. Has also added the pause feature.

All New Task Manager

Microsoft's finally redesigned the task manager, and it looks pretty great. You have a very simple task manager for basic task killing, but if you're a more advanced user, you can bring up the detailed task manager filled with information on CPU and RAM usage, even Metro app history, and even startup tweaking. So you can get rid of apps that launch on startup without going all the way into msconfig.(And I loved it.)

Built-In Antivirus with Windows Defender

Microsoft’s Anti-virus Microsoft Security Essentials now it's built in to Windows 8 as Windows Defender. It has nearly the exact same interface and feature set; the main difference is that you no longer have to install it. But it has added very big definition of viruses.





Other Features
11.      Spell checking comes to all your apps as well as a system-wide search feature, that lets you search anything from your music library to your contacts to the web itself.
22.      It also has a really cool feature for desktop users that lets you run the Metro UI on one monitor while running the traditional desktop on the other (not to mention better support for multiple monitors in general—like having the taskbar on both screens).
33.      It also has a really cool feature called "refresh your PC", where you can do a clean install with the tap of a button. Whether you're selling your machine or just want a cleaner, faster installation of Windows, you can do it all in one click. You can even set refresh points, similar to restore points, so you can refresh your PC to the way it was at a certain point in time.


Just Described whatever I know. But experience it yourself & get Windows 8 Pro now.
