Windows 8 is kind of like a social network for keeping in touch with all your friends from the desktop instead of opening a web browser, logging into different social networks, and e-mails to contact people.
The apps and tiles for Windows 8 seem pretty cool since it shows the latest news like weather from the tiles without opening the app.
Windows 8 also seem pretty fast on the PC, and easy to learn if you take the time to learn it.
The Windows 8 App marketplace also seems pretty cool since users no longer have to open a web browser, search the internet for apps to download from different sites like Download.com, filehippo.com, etc which may not be hosting the most current version of the app.
