What does your Windows 8 start screen look like?
I’m currently using Windows 8.1 Pro on my computer. I do some customization on the Start screen and the desktop. I’m going to explain about how my Start screen looks like.Before that, let me show you how my desktop screen looks like.You might ask, why my desktop screen looks simple and clean? Why there are no apps pinned to the taskbar? Why even there are no icons on the desktop? Well, instead of putting apps on the taskbar, I prefer to put all apps that I mostly used on my Start screen, so I will not make any clutter on the taskbar. Here is how my Start screen looks like.Let me explain how I customize my Start screen.From the left, I put my 4 favourite apps that I downloaded from Windows Store beside the Desktop button. I make Facebook app tile looks big so I can get up-to-date to my news feed.The OneCalendar and Weather app have a big tiles because I just want to know about my calendar events and the weather updates.There’s also News app (on my computer it’s called “Berita”), where I can see some of trending news on Internet.On the right, those are apps that I mostly used. So, instead of putting them on taskbar, I’ll prefer to put it on the Start screen.Hope you like it!

What is the best feature of Windows 8 ?
As you have asked about the best feature of Windows 8, i would tend to think of the fast boot-up and shut-down and the preinstalled drivers. Its really too quick mann. 8secs to boot(to be precise). I can list down the cool new features incorporated:Installation (of Windows 8) is too damn fast.Boot-up and shutdown times are pretty amazing.One needs to manually install the graphic card drivers(NVIDEA or ATI ) only. Rest have already been done for you..The synchronization with Microsoft Account is worth talking about. Making a Microsoft account is very useful and is quite easy as you don't need any extra email. You can make it with an already existing one like mine i have my gmail live id. You can synchronize it with your Facebook account and all sorts of accounts that you have. Once you have linked your microsoft account to your computer, your life will be made easy. You will get all the calenders(FB birthdays, google calender, etc) in the calender app. Your mailbox will itself get created. Your messaging accounts, etc all get synced by itself.All the settings(even the minor ones like the position of taskbar) gets synced to your account and if you want to configure Windows 8 on another device or if you reinstall it, you just need to sync your Microsoft account and all your settings, wallpaper, themes, etc will be back.You can view all your photos(from skydrive, Fb to flickr) at one place under the Photos appNo need of Daemon Tools or other iso mounting software. Win 8 has got its own capacity to create a virtual drive once you double-click on the iso file. It opens in a second.The task manager has quite interactive interface and you have got the Startup options there itself. No more opening "RUN" to go to msconfig.The amazing collection of awesome apps(some really are) make your life peaceful as you don't need to browse anymore and you've got apps for many commonly used websites like Wikipedia, Makemytrip, wordpress, cricinfo, ebay, engadget, and the amazing integration of XBOX.This has got cons too. Not actually negatives but just that their presence would have made it better.No provision to make ad-hoc(yes, you can't make an ad-hoc but can only join one)The new version of windows update is not informative. Old one is still present though and is accessible only through Action Center.
