Well in Windows 8 Microsoft is looking to improve their functionality with a fresh look and redesign these everyday core operations. Watch a video created by Microsoft after the jump explaining a few of the new features they will be adding to their Windows 8 OS when it rolls out.

Microsoft explains their thoughts behind the file management refresh:

"Our focus is on improving the experience of the person who is doing high-volume copying with Explorer today, who would like more control, more insight into what’s going on while copying, and a cleaner, more streamlined experience.”
