Metro interface will be introduced to the Windows 8. Its a brand new interface replacing the Windows 7 Aero interface. Additionally, Microsoft has announced that they will includes a brand new feature called Password Picture. With this new feature, you can use this feature to protect your PC with a unique picture password. You don't have to type the password in order to login to Windows 8.

Likely designed for touchscreens, users are prompted with a familiar picture of their choice and asked to make a series of finger gestures on the screen to setup password protection. Microsoft recommends that users pick at least three gestures and can choose between a circle, a tap and a line drawn between two points. When a user logs into a Windows 8 machine using Picture Password, they simply have to replicate the correct placement, order and direction of all gestures.

Seems like a nice feature but I really dislike the new UI of Win8. Learning more and more about Linux and various distros to make the switch permanently.
