Windows 8 introduces significant changes to the operating system's
platform, primarily focused towards improving its user experience on
mobile devices such as tablets to rival other mobile operating systems like Android and iOS, taking advantage of new or emerging technologies like USB 3.0, UEFI firmware, near field communications, cloud computing and the low-power ARM architecture, new security features such as malware filtering, built-in antivirus capabilities,
a new installation process optimized for digital distribution, and
support for secure boot (a UEFI feature which allows operating systems
to be digitally signed
to prevent malware from altering the boot process), the ability to
synchronize certain apps and settings between multiple devices, along
with other changes and performance improvements. Windows 8 also
introduces a new shell and user interface based on Microsoft's "Metro" design language, featuring a new Start screen with a grid of dynamically updating tiles to represent applications, a new app platform with an emphasis on touchscreen input, and the new Windows Store to obtain and/or purchase applications to run on the operating system.
