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

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.

ecosystem for developers. On the other hand,
Windows 7 OS is missing all these features.
9- Windows Start button replaced

features like using same tile interface as used

8 hints to Windows start button replacement. - It is creating flexibility such that only best
possible outputs are selected from Windows 7 and
