Windows 8 is coming soon. Microsoft knows too well the iPad should be given much of the credit for the shooting up in Apple’s Market share. The previously released Microsoft tablets did not come as a success in the market. So with the release of Windows 8, which is just designed around tablets, we found it interesting to compare it with iPad 2 which of course runs with iOS 5.

Windows 8:
Windows 8 however appears to have quite a number of gestures such as pinching on the home screen where all the tiles are to give you an overview of your apps, swiping up to get your app menu which is different for each app, swiping down from the top to close an app and many more. This might seem to be too many gestures and many would find it quite confusing at first. However, it might turn out to be quite handy once you get used to it! With Windows 8, you can do many tasks at once easier than ever before with its new type of multitasking with side-by-side apps!
Moreover, Windows 8 having live tiles on the home screen enables you to easily launch apps that are pre-loaded with the device and downloaded from the Windows Marketplace. As clear in the video, there appears to be minimal lag while using the device and the browser loads almost immediately! However, we have to mention that you will find a few things missing like for instance the ability to save images.
Do you think that Microsoft has got it right this time? Will Microsoft’s new tablet operating system pass the Apple iPad in the market share? Tell us what you think in the comments section.
