Windows 8 is a version of Microsoft Windows released in 2012. It introduced a tile-based interface and was designed to work with both mouse/keyboard and touchscreens. Some key features included snap applications to view multiple apps at once, search from the desktop, and stream music from Xbox Music. While Windows 8 provided a faster experience across devices and introduced the Windows app store, some disadvantages were its touch-oriented Metro interface was not as compatible with desktops and multitasking was limited.
