15 Awesome Features of Windows 8

Even with the final release of Windows 8 months away, Microsoft always likes to release some previews that were seen in the Developers release a month ago. There are 15 impressive features that Windows 8 has over Windows 7.

1) Quick Boot Time
- The boot time is about 9x faster than Windows 7. A test done on a basic laptop with a 5400rpm hard drive took about 48 seconds for the Windows 7 boot loader while with Windows 8 it took only 9 seconds.
2) Shows alerts immediately
- Even when you computer is locked, you can set apps to show emails or calender messages. So now you can just quickly glance and see that you need to read an email or reminds you of a task for the day without even login on.
3) Picture Enabled Login Password
- Yes it might seem weird but you can set a picture to be your login password. The picture will load and you will choose a 'gesture' you would preform on the picture with the mouse. The system will recognize it and log you in. Of course there is the normal alphanumeric password if you'd like as well.
4) Dynamic Tile Desktop
