Windows 8
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 predecessorin 2009. Its
existence was first announced at CES 2011, and followed by the release of three prerelease 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),[4] taking advantage of new or 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, builtin 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.
