1)Boot time: Wn7 48 sec. Win8 10 sec.
2)Desktop: Microsoft has replaced the
normal shortcut icons
with dynamic tiles.
You can change their size and place
similar
applications around each other- or
anything else
that my suit you.
3)Mounting iso images: Windows 7
could only burn an ISO image
to a DVD but Windows 8 actually
betters
this by offering you the option to
mount the
image too. In Windows 7, you didn’t
have the
option to make virtual drives to use the
ISO
image’s content but Windows 8 allows
you to
create a virtual drive to mount the ISO
image so
that you can easily use it just like a
normal DVD.
4)Built-in Antivirus(bad news for
hackers): Windows 8 has an
antivirus present inside the kernel of
the operating system. This means that
your system won’t boot if a corrupt
USB
device is plugged in. It sounds
impressive
though I don’t know whether it would
pass the
test of time…. and viruses! All in all, I
do expect
Windows 8 to be a serious upgrade on
Windows 7 and with Microsoft working
on the things that require some
tweaking; I genuinely believe that
Microsoft is finally ready to launch an
OS which will take the world by storm
5)Multiple monitors support in
Windows :
Microsoft announced that customers
can use more
than one monitor to connect with
Windows 8
operating system. Windows 8 PC
management allows
customers to use multiple monitors at
same time. It means
Windows 8 offers flexibility by allowing
start screen at one
monitor and desktop in another.
Customer can also choose taskbar on
both screens with different icons on
each monitor.
Moreover, you can play with
background images as well by
changing it separate on each monitor.
Such support is not
available with Windows 7 operating
system.
6)Windows based apps store:
Windows 8 operating system
introduces new app
store in which different apps is
implemented for
various devices and settings on right of
the screen.
The settings section includes
contextual apps like
volume, brightness, restart and power
options. You can
share content, links, app reviews,
contacts, metro apps,
facebook and twitter applications with
your friends or colleagues. Windows 8
store offers both desktop apps and
ecosystem for developers. On the
other hand, Windows 7 OS is missing
all these features.
7)Inbuilt Windows Touch features:
The main difference between Windows
7 and
Windows 8 comes with its metro style
interface
that provides live title of rectangle
shape which has
replaced the icon pattern in Windows

8)In Windows 7
operating system, software shortcuts
are in the form of
icons. As far as the touch interface is
concerned then
Windows 7 supports touch interface
but not that much, what was expected.
So, Windows 8 comes with true touch
interface for Metro style apps. It is fast
way of accessing data by using an
improved on-screen keyboard and
handwriting recognition
