.

1. Windows Differences between versions

Main changes between Windows XP,Windows 7 and Windows 8.

Windows XP was one of the most popular Microsoft operating system since Windows 95. It was built to enhace user experience from older version such as Me.

WIndows 7 was designed not only to use the powerful advantages from Windows Vista but also to fix the Vista failed user interface. It created some importante caracteristics such as:

a. Personalized Gadgets: calendar, clocks...
b. Ribbon Interface in their software, in a more intuitive and familiar drop-down menu and toolbars.
c. Fix the shutdown Vista version button
d. Snap Desktop, when a user can drag a windows to the top right corner and it maximize and minimize automatically.

Windows 8 brought the new multiplatform era. Available from smartphones, tablets and PC, its unique Metro Interface allow as to touch or clic on different Live Tiles, automatically up-to-date (news, recipes, mail, weather forecast).

The Start Button Menu dissapeared ( till Windows 10). There is no more program list of folders. Instead of it, there are lots of Apps icon Tiles.

There is a highly efficient Copy-Move-Paste Process, looking for similar files without stopping the action.
