Why is there a new interface?
The new interface for Windows 8 is designed to work well with touch input.
Windows Store apps will automatically use the whole screen and don't
require closing in the traditional way. Windows Store apps will be
displayed on Start using live-tiles.
What are ’live tiles?’
Live tiles are similar to thumbnails of the apps that will be updated with
new content whenever you're connected to the Internet. So, for example,
you can view weather or stock updates without needing to open the app.
