by the release of threepre(releaseversions from &eptember !'' to May !'. The operating

system wasreleased to manufacturingon )ugust ', !', and was released for general

availabilityon *ctober +, !'.

Windows 8 introduced maor changes to the operating system-s platform and user interfaceto

improve its user eperience ontablets, where Windows was now competing with mobile

operating systems, including )ndroidand i*&. #n particular, these changes included a touch(

optimi/ed Windows shellbased on Microsoft-s 0Metro0design language, the &tart screen,anew platform for developing appswith an emphasis on touchscreeninput, integration with

online services, and Windows &tore, an online store for downloading and purchasing new

software. Windows 8 added support for 1&2 3.!, )dvanced 4ormathard drives, near field

communications,and cloud computing. )dditional security features were introduced, such as

built(inantivirus software, integration with Microsoft &mart&creenphishing filteringservice

and support for 1%4# &ecure 2ooton supported devices with 1%4# firmware, to

)n epansion slot is a socet on the motherboard that is used to insert an epansion card or

circuit board5, which provides additional features to a computer such as video, sound,

advanced graphics, %thernet or memory. The epansion card has an edge connector that fits

precisely into the epansion slot as well as a row of contacts that is designed to establish an

electrical connection between the motherboard and the electronics on the card, which are

mostly integrated circuits. Depending on the form factor of the case and motherboard, a

computer system generally can have anywhere from one to seven epansion slots. With a

bacplane system, up to '" epansion cards can be installed.

Windows 8 was released to a mied critical reception. )lthough reaction towards its

performance improvements, security enhancements, and improved support for

touchscreen devices was positive, the new user interface of the operating system was

widely critici/ed for being potentially confusing and difficult to learn especially

when used with a eyboard and mouse instead of a touchscreen5. Windows

8 introduced a number of new features across various aspects of the operating system.

)mong these included a greater focus on optimi/ing the operating system

for touchscreen(based devices such as tablets5 and cloud computing. Windows 8

recovery, and should be part of a disaster recovery plan, by themselves, bacups should not

alone be considered disaster recovery.
