Windows Explorer can now mount ISO and VHD files as virtual drives.<ref>{{cite web|title=Accessing data in [[ISO image|ISO]] and [[VHD (file format)|VHD]] files|url=http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/2011/08/30/accessing-data-in-iso-and-vhd-files.aspx}}</ref>

Mike Angiulo confirmed at Computex 2011 that Windows 8 will use OEM Activation 3.0 instead of OEM Activation 2.1 (used by Windows 7), which supposedly makes it less prone to cracks. Windows 8 features a new lock screen that shows the date and time and notifications, along with a customisable background.▼
Windows 8 will also include Microsoft's [[Hyper-V]] virtualization software. Previously only offered in Windows Server, Hyper-V will now be available in client versions of Windows for the first time. The system requirements for Hyper-V are a 64-bit processor, a 64-bit version of Windows 8, and a minimum of 4 GB of RAM. Hyper-V also requires a 64-bit system that has Second Level Address Translation (SLAT), a feature that helps with memory management. Many of Intel's and AMD's recent processors support this feature, including many of Intel's i-Series processors (with [[Extended Page Table]]) and AMD's 10h family processors.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.cnet.com/8301-10805_3-20103376-75/windows-8-to-include-hyper-v-virtualization/ |title= Microsoft announces Hyper-V in Windows 8 |publisher=cnet.com |date=2011-09-08}}</ref>▼
On September 8, 2011, Microsoft announced that Windows 8 has short boot times, because it saves the [[Kernel (computing)|kernel]]'s memory to the hard disk on shutdown (similar to the existing Hibernate option) and reloads it on startup.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.winsupersite.com/blog/supersite-blog-39/windows8/microsoft-touts-incredible-windows-8-boot-times-140515 | title=Microsoft Touts Incredible Windows 8 Boot Times | accessdate=September 09, 2011}}</ref>▼
