18.3. Windows® 8 – What’s New
Microsoft account
A Microsoft account is an e-mail address and password for logging in to Windows. You may use any e-mail
address. We recommend using the address you use to communicate with friends and log into your favourite web sites, howev-
er. The Microsoft account also allows you to purchase or download apps from the Store and install them on up to five devices.
Once you have logged on to your PC using a Microsoft account, you also have access to the various services and programs
provided by Microsoft.
The contact information and status updates for your friends from services such as Hotmail, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn
will be updated automatically as soon as you run these services using your Microsoft account.
You can also access and share your photos, documents and other files via
SkyDrive, Facebook and Flickr.
Your personal settings, including designs, language settings, Internet favourites and apps will be synchronised with each
PC running Windows® 8 that you log on to.
You can obtain Apps from the Windows Store. You can use these on any PC running Windows 8 that you log on to.
If you wish to create a Microsoft account in Windows® 8, proceed as following:
Move the mouse pointer into the top right or bottom corner of the display and click
Settings.
Click Change PC settings > Users > Switch to a Microsoft account.
Taskbar (Desktop mode)
You can start programs from the taskbar at the bottom of the screen and switch between programs already running. In Win-
dows® 8 you can place any program onto the taskbar, so that you can always open it with a single click. You can also rearrange
the icons on the taskbar by simply clicking on them and dragging them to the desired position. Move the mouse pointer over
the icons and thumbnails of each file or each window open in that program will be displayed. If you move the mouse point-
er over the thumbnail, a full screen preview of the window in question appears. When you move the mouse pointer away from
the thumbnail again, the full screen preview closes.
Jump lists
Jump lists offer a practical way of calling up recently opened files. To display the recently used files, simply right-click on the
application icon in the taskbar. Thus if you right-click on the Word icon, the recently used Word documents are displayed. You
can also easily place other files you wish to have easily to hand in the jump list so that they are always displayed. This allows
you to access documents that you use frequently in just a few mouse clicks.
The jump lists for certain programs such as Windows® Media Player can be populated in advance with frequently used com-
mands. Thus, for example, you will see options to play all music or to reopen the last playlist in the jump list for Windows® 8
Media Player.
The frequently visited and last visited websites are displayed in the jump list for Internet Explorer. This therefore allows you
to quickly access commands for certain programs that could previously only be called up from the program itself, such as the
command to compose a new e-mail message.
Improved desktop
Windows® 8 simplifies working with windows on the desktop. You therefore have more intuitive options for opening and clos-
ing, changing sizes and rearranging.
Windows® 8 makes completing everyday tasks even simpler. The locking function (snaps) makes it easier to compare two open
windows, for example. You do not need to manually adjust the size of the opened windows for the comparison. Simply drag
the window to one of the screen margins using the mouse and it will fill half of the screen.
Click the window’s title bar, shake” it and all other opened windows are displayed as icons on the task bar. “Shake the window
once more and the other windows are displayed again.
Better device management
Windows® 8 allows you to connect, manage and use all devices via the central “Devices” function.
All devices are shown in a central location.
With the new “Device Stage” technology, however, Windows® 8 goes one step further with device management. Device Stage
helps you when using all compatible devices that are connected to the computer. Thanks to Device Stage you can now display
the device status and perform frequently used commands within a single window. Here you will even find images of the de-
vices so you can easily see which devices are connected. The device manufacturers can even adjust Device Stage. For example,
if your camera manufacturer releases an updated version of Device Stage, you can see details such as the number of photos
on the camera and get links to useful information when you connect the camera to your PC.
