Windows 8 is the latest operating system from Microsoft, launched three years after the
successful Windows 7. Unlike recent versions, Windows 8 brings many important changes to
the world of Windows operating systems.
If Windows 7 was made to run on more traditional computers such as laptops, desktops,
or netbooks, Windows 8 was made to run on a wider variety of devices. It can also be used
successfully on tablets, computers with touch screens, and hybrids that combine the versatility
of a laptop with the mobility of a tablet.
If Windows 7 was an incremental update to Windows Vista, Windows 8 is a re-imagination
of the Windows experience. It brings to the table many new features and improvements
and, most of all, a new user interface inspired by the work Microsoft did on the Windows
Phone platform. The new interface is designed with touch-compatible devices in mind, but
it also runs perfectly on computers with traditional mouse and keyboard input.
Windows 8 also adds support for ARM processors, used in today’s smartphones and tablets.
It is the first time Windows can be used on processors other than those made by Intel or
AMD (x86 architecture).
If you have read about Windows 8 or you have seen it in action, you know that there are
many new things to learn, even if you are familiar with Windows 7. In this book, you’ll learn
not only which are the most important changes Windows 8 introduces but also how to use
the most important tools and features so that you are productive and feel at ease as soon
as possible.

Accessible EPUB 3
Accessibility is a difficult concept to define. There’s no single magic bullet solution that
