Windows Start Screen

After you log on, you’ll see the Windows 8 Start screen, shown in Figure 4.4. The Start screen serves much the same function as the Start menu in previous versions of Windows. Square or rectangular tiles give you quick access to apps, external resources such as SkyDrive, folders, and even the desktop. The Start screen shows the look of the new Windows 8 interface. We don’t focus on the Start screen in this chapter as it was discussed in detail in Chapters 2 and 3.
