Minimize restart after automatic update from Windows Update
Power

Management

In each version of Windows,

Microsoft

is trying to improve power management. However, significant progress in recent years have been developed by the hardware industry, in particular, battery makers. But Windows 8 comes with a new and promising concept that is known from smartphones. Apps in the background are suspended, which consumes more energy. This feature only works for underground applications and not for legacy applications from Windows desktop.

The new Task Manager in

Windows 8

is nice, but I guess most IT pros will just enjoy it considering that free tools like Process Explorer and Process Hacker have much more to offer. However, whenever you need to troubleshoot a Windows machine and you do not bring your toolbox, you'll like the new features such as resource use light-ups, the type of group processes (applications, background processes, processes Windows), user-friendly names for the background process, and the windows grouping top-level application. Interesting for server admins is the heat map new generation of logical processors.

fewer reboots
If you have ever lost data due to automatic restart, you might be interested to know what

Microsoft

has to say about this kind of "user experience" (link below). The major improvement in Windows 8 is that security-related restarts there only once a month (second Tuesday). The only exceptions are critical updates for security, for example, if a worm is spreading. Microsoft also introduced some changes in how users will be notified of updates and reboots.

Large disk support

Large disk

support

Windows 8

will support partitions larger than 2TB, which will be important for the next generation netbook and tablet. ;-) There are several ways to use more than 2TB volume in Windows 7, for example with the RAID, but I guess it would not be an option in tablet form.
Activation of large disks and important sectors in Windows 8
Storage spaces
Blank spaces allow you to combine multiple disks into a single storage pool. The new technology is similar to RAID, but it is more flexible and easier to configure. Probably the coolest thing is that the discs can be of different size and connected by USB, SATA and SAS (Serial Attached SCSI). Storage pools support thin provisioning (physical space is used only when the capacity is needed) and resilience (mirroring for fault tolerance).

Protection against Malware

Malware

These are tough times are ahead for programmers of malware (and third party

software vendors). It seems that Microsoft Security Essentials will not be integrated into Windows 8. However, Windows Defender will become full-fledged antivirus software as it will not only protect against spyware

Windows 8

, as in Windows 7, but also against viruses and worms. It will also feature real-time protection. SmartScreen, the Microsoft malware protection based on reputation, which protect not only Internet Explorer but Windows 8. Windows 8 will also be cured with an enhanced Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR), kernel improvements, and a new bunch of Windows.

Windows Explorer

The most visible is the new ribbon, which Microsoft introduced with Office 2007. What can be more interesting are the new features file management, such as identifying duplicate files improved, support for multiple channels in the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol, and better management of confirmations and interruptions. IT professionals in particular will love that they can now mount ISO and VHD files directly from Windows Explorer. There are many more new features in Windows Explorer.

On the integration of Microsoft account
You've probably heard that Microsoft has abandoned the

with a local account / domain or with a Microsoft. This allows you to store personal data and settings of the APP in the cloud.

Top 10 Features of Windows 8
The disk maintenance tools that ships with Microsoft Windows have always been, at best, tolerable. Now there's a whole industry centered around archival storage systems and services, it's time Microsoft gave its consumer versions of Windows system file archiving appropriate for the 21st century.
Replacement Windows Backup, Windows File history 8 is the archive of files that were in Windows 7 - and it opens the way to a future post-PC for Microsoft.
In this series of 10 episodes, 26-year veteran tester Scott Fulton Windows guides you through the best features, faculties and functions of Windows 8.
See No. 10: Refresh and Reset
Ironically, the component that provides this functionality is actually part of Windows 7, and has been there since Windows XP. Windows did have a versioning system files for a few years. This is called Volume Shadow Copy, and it is a way for the system to maintain multiple backups of a file from different points in time. Windows 7 uses VSS (yes, this is the correct abbreviation ... go figure) to save some system files that may need to be recalled in the archives when you run a system restore - when you undo changes system, rolling them back to an earlier point in time.
Windows Backup can use this service ... kind of. I do not know anyone who does that, but once you save a file to an archive device, in Windows Explorer, you can right-click a file in that folder, click the Previous Versions tab, and to recall an earlier version of this file. Of course, if you go to restore an entire subdirectory full of documents, right-click and restoration of each in this way is not a great way to spend a weekend.
This is what a developer might call a service without a real interface. The actual user interface of this service was added to Windows 8, and yes, people will see that his inspiration probably comes from Mac OS. This is what we call history file, and replaces Windows Backup. The name change alone confuse some people, and perhaps a shortcut from Backup File history would help in the final edition.
The idea behind the story of the file is: If you continue to use Windows 8 Microsoft how would you use Windows 7, then you will have your important files related to personal libraries. Office documents will be in documents, files of digital cameras will be in pictures, your videos will be uploaded and transcribed in Videos. So it's silly to have to tell a different program of Windows files that are important to you if you've done it once already.
File history already knows what is important to you. If there are files in your library that do not need to save, you can make exceptions by clicking the Exclude Files and History to add exceptions in the box above.
This becomes important for the following reason: History File is designed to be something that runs continuously - not every week or overnight, 80 years as a backup style, but every hour. If the suggested use of the history file is for you to connect an external hard drive via USB, but you can also map a cloud-based Microsoft SkyDrive rise to a windows network share. History files instantly becomes a cloud backup service. For users of Windows Phone, it could mean anything you store your media libraries will be automatically synchronized and available for your phone.
He also raised the issue of bandwidth consumption. If you often copy videos from your camcorder (as opposed to just your phone), then you will want to use the file's history as a cloud backup service for this purpose. Unfortunately, this may affect your choices for backup media files smaller and documents every day - your choice of backup devices can be applied to all your files backed up. If you have decided to use an Archive Player as a Seagate FreeAgent video archive your camcorder, you will not be able to use the history file to save your documents and air.
Once again, the tool that comes with Windows is not perfect for all situations. Just as it was for the last three decades, leaving an opening for third party backup vendors - such as Acronis, for example - to build a market.
However, the evolution of Windows Backup File in history is important, as the nerve center of digital life people away from the PC. If Microsoft wants to maintain a grip on the lives of its customers every day and work, he needs to stake a strong claim on the services and tools that connect all the devices that are now at the nerve center.
This means that Microsoft needs a stronger presence of clouds. SkyDrive is nice, but it's not as powerful a product like Dropbox or Box.net. The story of the new file pointer is a compass in the exact direction that Windows needs to go: toward a service that transcends both PCs and peripherals. As I said before: No Windows Phone, no Windows PC. Just Windows.

More information about Windows 8 Enterprise revealed

Earlier this week, Microsoft announced that the SKU versions of Windows 8, Windows 8, Windows 8 and Windows 8 Pro RT (for products based on ARM processor hardware). Minutes after Microsoft made the announcement, he updated the blog to also announce an Enterprise SKU for Windows 8.

Turn Windows features on or off

Some programs and features included in Windows, such as Internet Information Services, must be on for you to use. Some other features are enabled by default, but you can disable them if you do not use them.

To turn off a feature in earlier versions of Windows, you had to uninstall it completely from your computer. In this version of Windows, the features remain stored on your hard drive so you can relight them if you want. Disabling a feature does not uninstall the feature, and it does not reduce the amount of disk space used by Windows features.

To turn Windows features on or off, follow these steps:

Click Start, click Control Panel, click Programs, then click Turn Windows features on or off. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
To turn a Windows feature, select the check box next to the feature. To turn a Windows feature, clear the check box. Click OK.

Windows 7

Windows 7 comes with an elegant end-user interface of Windows Security Center is now known as Windows Solution Center, and is responsible for maintaining system security. Windows 7 makes the already robust BitLocker protection in Windows Vista even easier to use, while extending protection to USB storage devices, allowing them to be secured with a passphrase.
There are many new features in Windows 7, but here are a few that are more pro-ish computer burning ISOs to CD or DVD directly from Explorer.

As we move closer to launch Windows7, expect to see more features being ported to Windows Vista and XP until we can try them on the actual operating system Windows7. Improvement of existing features may be more important for people who understand the existing functionality and how they can be improved, but most people who buy the new operating system know nothing about it, and if the only thing which is to improve things is that the average user does not notice, the average user will not see any reason to upgrade to the new OS. Faster boot time, before CV, launching common applications, reducing the time it takes for the operating system to recognize a USB device reinserted, especially a flash drive, faster playing movies DVD, a better response and memory usage of the desktop window manager, including the taskbar and start menu, reducing the overall footprint of the operating system, reducing crashes and freezes.
The new features of Windows 7 will determine whether the operating system is a success or if it follows the footsteps of his predecessor, Windows Vista. But one thing that is not new, it is the core operating system: Windows 7 is based on the Vista kernel, instead of a brand new.
Computers running Windows Vista can run Windows 7 as well, if not better, reducing the burden of upgrading and helps you get the most value from your equipment purchases.
