It reinstalls Windows 8 but preserves personal settings and personal data. The first is the less extreme of the two. When Windows 8 gets corrupted, users now have two options: refresh and reset. It's also tricky to back up in case users forget the right points and the sequence for touching them. One security expert calls it a "Fisher-Price toy" because swiping in the password can be stolen by videotaping it from a distance. It's a new password paradigm, but isn't without criticism. When logging in, users are presented with a picture and by touching features in the photo in the right order they can unlock the device. Traditionally, users type in passwords in order to gain access to their locked computers. Those windows can be adjusted to the exact size the user wants. This differs from Windows 7 where apps can occupy as many windows as the user cares to open. But it is limited to just two apps being displayed at a time. Snap is handy if someone is working on a document, for example, and wants to draw information from a spreadsheet at the same time. With a touch screen, sliding the bar separating the two apps can make them larger or smaller.
In Windows 8 users can display two applications at the same time, one occupying about three-quarters of the screen on either the left or right, the other app occupying the rest.
These include SweetLabs' Pokki, Lee-Soft's ViStart 8 and Stardock's Start8. This has caused much distress among longtime Windows users, so much so that third-party developers are selling Start Menu apps for Windows 8. You can also access some of the old Start menu features by swiping in from the left side of the screen to reveal the Charms menu, which contains a Settings charm that doesn't lead to all the features that were contained in the Start menu. With a keyboard attached to a Windows 8 device, pressing Win X yields a popup box containing some of the Start menu items, but not all. It is replaced by the Start screen, a horizontally browsable collection of Windows 8 tiles that give one-tap access to the applications loaded on the device. Clicking on the Start button in the lower-left corner yielded the Start menu, a pop-up box listing apps that have been pinned there as well as quick access to search, Control Panel, Devices and Printers, photos, documents and importantly the Shut Down button to turn the machine off. This is the Windows 8 answer to the Start menu that has been so familiar in Windows for years.
