Windows 8 Tutorial From Microsoft Guides You In Setup Process, Explains Metro UI

The new Windows is based on Microsoft's Metro Design Language (Similar to the one in Windows Phone), which is designed to suit touchscreen inputs along with the traditional mouse and keyboard inputs. At a first look you would definitely feel the absence of the traditional 'start button' which is replaced by a 'start screen'  and the taskbar while using the new Metro Apps.
