Microsoft put a large amount of thought into screen resolution, which varies as much as screen size does. Windows 8 will support 98.8 percent of Windows 7 installations. Windows 8, especially on the Metro interface, is designed to look and function well in all three scenarios. Microsoft is focusing on screens for three primary uses: “Slates” that tend to be 10.1 to 17 inches, “Workhorse PCs” typically from 12 to 15.6 inches, and “Family Hubs” that are either large monitors or, more commonly, high definition televisions 23 inches and larger. The screen sizes available in devices varies immensely, from 1 inch in small handheld devices to well over 600 inches in a stadium display.
