Windows 8 is very different to previous versions of Windows from Microsoft primarily in that it has a new look thats been redesigned to be easy to use with touch as well as with a mouse and keyboard. For the first time, its no longer necessary to understand how small and fiddly drop-down menus work, or to understand how to control programs using complicated desktop menus where you have to manage and juggle multiple programs on your screen at one time.
Windows 8 can be operated by a keyboard and mouse, but it is best used with a touchscreen computer or tablet, and it is here that you will benefit from the richest experience.
Everything has changed to make it not just easier to find and control documents, apps, and programs, but to make overall control of Windows and your settings simpler. At last, you dont need to be a technical user to get the best out of using Windows.
When you use Windows 8 on your computer, laptop, or tablet for the first time, youll notice how different it looks and works. This new look makes it easier for you to see whats going on in your online life at a glance: Live Tiles can show you information about your email, calendar, instant messaging, social networking, sports, news, and much more, all without ever leaving the new Start screen.
In this chapter, Ill demonstrate what these new interface elements are and how to use them.
You can open menus and options on the Start screen by swiping with your finger from any edge of the screen.
Move your mouse to the corners of the screen to display options and menus.
