Need to Know – Windows 8

Touchy feely
You only need one look at the Metro style interface to know that Microsoft’s new OS was built with touch navigation in mind. A simple pinch-out-to-zoom, for example, will let you see all of your tiles at once for easier navigation. You can also swipe to switch between apps as well as placing them side-by-side. Swiping from the right brings up the ‘charm bar’ which allows you share, search and switch to the desktop.
