It is believed that Windows 8 will give users brand new functional experience. At the first day when Windows 8 consumer preview edition was released, more than 1 million users downloaded it. Windows 8 cancels traditional Windows interface and employs tiled interface which is metro style, reflecting splendid sense of beauty. In addition, Microsoft speeds up boot-up speed, and the boot-up time is 6 seconds. Furthermore, we can download media files, games or other needed information in a short time.
