  8 comes with its metro style interface that
  provides live title of rectangle shape which has
  replaced the icon pattern in Windows 8.
• In Windows 7 operating system, software
  shortcuts are in the form of icons. As far as the
  touch interface is concerned then Windows 7
  supports touch interface but not that much, what
  was expected. So, Windows 8 comes with true touch
  interface for Metro style apps. It is fast way of
  accessing data by using an improved on-screen
  keyboard and handwriting recognition.
