Windows 8, one of the most innovative project of Microsoft, features a new Start screen instead of the traditional Start button. This new Start screen acts as a Dashboard and connects you with the stuffs you need.
Along with that, the Start screen provides a very easy and efficient way to launch Metro as well as desktop apps. One can pin the tile of any app to the start screen and can launch it from there. The Start screen automatically arranges the Tiles in a row, depending on the resolution of your computer.
