Windows 8 Pro - Digital License Key
Previous Windows operating systems have shipped in different home and professional versions, with important differences in networking and security features. With Windows 8, the difference is more about how you interact with your PC, laptop, tablet, or even smartphone: you can use a touchscreen, a keyboard and mouse, or both. Windows 8 will almost certainly be the last desktop edition of the MS operating system. Its interface is much less oriented towards keyboard and mouse input than existing versions of Windows. Instead, touch will be the primary method for moving around the screen and controlling what happens on it.
Log in to a Windows 8 PC and you'll be greeted by the Start screen. Instead of a taskbar full of applications and a desktop full of shortcuts, the screen is made up of a grid of tiles. As with icons, clicking or tapping a tile launches an application; Unlike icons, these boxes show useful data. The weather pane, for example, shows the current weather and updates without your input. If you've seen Windows Phone 7, you'll immediately recognize this "Metro" interface.
Characteristics:
Support for both x86 PCs and ARM tablets
Windows 8 is the first edition of Windows that will run on both ARM-based tablets and traditional x86 (as well as x32 and x64) PCs based on ARM processors from Intel and AMD.
“Support for chipsets, touch sensors, and ARM-based sensors makes Windows 8 work seamlessly on a full range of devices, such as 10-inch slates with all-day battery life, ultra-light laptops, and powerful all-in-ones with 27-inch high-definition screens," says MS, in a Windows 8 guide distributed with Windows Developer Preview
Windows to go
“Windows To Go” appears to be a cool feature that basically allows Windows 8 to boot from a USB device (called a Live USB), including the user's programs, settings, and files. The feature is designed to work with both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0, and with legacy NIOS and UDFI firmware. However, MS states that a user will not be able to "hibernate" with this feature.
“Windows To Go is a new feature in Windows 8 that allows enterprise administrators to create USB drives containing complete, managed Windows images that users can use to boot and run Windows on any Windows 7 or Windows 8-compatible computer. Windows To Go makes it possible to allow employees to use a managed device whether they work from home, a client's office, or a free seating environment. In this session, we will discuss Windows To Go, its hardware requirements, and the creation of compatible and complementary software."
Another cool thing about this feature is that if the USB drive is removed, Windows will automatically freeze, but it will continue to work if the USB drive is reinserted within 60 seconds of removal.
Windows Store
To compete with Apple, Windows has confirmed the introduction of a Windows Store, similar to the Mac App Store, which allows users to browse Windows applications, while developers can publish their Metro-style apps on Windows 8 devices.
A few days ago, MS provided a strategic view of its app store and gave a quick demonstration of how it works. MS has revealed that the Windows App Store will be the only place where users will be able to access Metro-style apps.
