Windows 8 comes with new and redesigned boot process

Posted: 30 Sep 2011 01:46 AM PDT

Microsoft is determined to make some changes related to Windows 8 user interface, and if you have seen new Windows 8 Blue Screen of Death, you're probably going to like this new and improved boot process.

Since the early days of Windows, boot process looked filled with codes and numbers, that weren't understandable to the average user, and now with Windows 8, Microsoft decided to change that. Now instead of codes, you'll get only the visual interface that lets you choose which operating system you want to use, in case you have two of them. In addition, you can use advanced options, such as accessing USB flash drive, changing default OS, or even running command prompt, all in new and visual user interface. We also have to mention that this new interface fully supports touch input, so it is fully optimized for touchscreen monitors and tablets.

New boot process looks great, and it's a great improvement compared to the old textual boot, but we still have to wait and see how advanced users will react to it.
