Windows 8 For Dummies, Dell Pocket Edition

The Desktop tile looks like a miniature version of your

real desktop, complete with your current desktop
background. When summoned, the desktop pushes
aside the Start screen and fills the screen, ready to
run your traditional Windows programs.
The Windows 8 desktop works much like the desktop
found in previous Windows versions. Shown in Figure
2-1, the Windows 8 desktop is almost indistinguishable from the one in the previous version, Windows 7.

Figure 2-1: The Windows 8 desktop lacks a Start button but

otherwise looks identical to Windows 7.
