With Windows 8, launched on Friday, Microsoft wants to ensure that its
new operating system runs on all form factors - desktops, notebooks and
even tablets. The software giant foresees people using a common OS,
seamlessly interoperating between different devices without any
glitches. It also envisions hybrid gizmos that can function as a
fullfledged tablet or laptop depending on the user's requirements. Of
course, to create an OS that would work just as well with touchscreens
as it would with the keyboard and mouse, MS has had to make some big
changes to Windows.
Logging in
Windows 8
is heavily integrated with Microsoft's web services. Users are provided
with the ability to log on to their PCs with a Windows Live ID (instead
of a more traditional local user account) for seamless functioning
between various devices. For example, if you're following certain news
feeds in the Reader app on your tablet, the same content will also be
available to you on your PC. Besides you are automatically logged-on to
those Metro-style apps and services that use your Live ID for
authentication.
