Since the release of the windows new windows 8 and windows 8 rt operating systems, a all new type of computers and tablets have been released.  Jonathan Bickford currently in his blog has noted that the new windows 8 operating system is more for competing with apple tablets and the mobile industry. But with the new tile base system an all new type of computers are being released called ultra book convertibles, a super sleek laptop with touch screen capabilities.

With no start menu and having live tiles, the new windows 8 smart meters allows you to use  touch gestures to easily navigate without the use of a traditional mouse. Windows 8 also allows newer desktops come with touch screen screens, reducing the use the mouse and making it more easy for users to navigate.

Jon mentioned that ” previous Windows phones either under-utilized or didn’t use”  single-touch to open apps, but the old windows phone 7 operating system, still had live tiles, and one-touch app opening.  The new windows 8 software brings this type of user interface to laptops and home computers.
