Windows 8 is the current release of the Windows
operating system, produced by Microsoft for use on personal computers,
including home and business desktops, laptops, tablets, and home theater
PCs. Development of Windows 8 started before the release of its
predecessor in 2009. Its existence was first announced at CES 2011, and
followed by the release of three pre-release versions from September
2011 to May 2012. The operating system was released to manufacturing on
August 1, 2012, and was released for general availability on October 26,
2012.
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 (such as Android and iOS), taking advantage of new and emerging technologies (such as 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 software, and support for secure boot, a controversial UEFI feature which requires operating systems to be digitally signed to prevent malware from infecting the boot process), along with other changes and performance improvements.
Hardware requirements: Microsoft has said that any computer that is running Windows 7 can run Windows 8 with ease. If you want to be specific, the company says that a machine should have:
1GHz or faster processor, 1GB RAM (32-bit) or 2GB RAM (64-bit), 16GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20GB (64-bit), DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver. For Modern UI apps a screen with a resolution of 1024×768 pixels is mandatory.
