Since Windows 8 Consumer Preview was released and Microsoft provided the download, many users have downloaded it to the computer. There are many changes and the most dramatic one is the Metro Start screen. Users can customize this screen to put all of the information that users care about in one place, such as the weather, websites, playlists, and your contacts. The favorite apps are always front and center. Because users decide how to organize and group things on the Start screen, viewing and interacting with content is faster than ever. This kind of design style makes users spend less time navigating and more time doing what they want to do. However, although all changes are innovative, some are not easy to realize. Windows 8 supports up to five touch points simultaneously, but if the computer has no touch functions, some controls will be more of a challenge.
