Windows 8 is the successor of Windows 7, and was created to be multiplatform.
This means that you will find Windows 8 on PCs, tablets and smartphones.

Since Windows 8, start menu has disappeared and has been replaced by a touch interface with tiles. This interface was named "Metro Interface", but was later renamed "Modern UI".
