Introduction
Do you remember Windows Vista? One of the worst
operating system ever introduced by Microsoft that failed big time not only
from the user interface perspective but also from resource consumption and
performance.
Then Windows 7 came along and saved Microsoft.
So far, Windows 7 has been the best operating system ever-ever developed by
Microsoft.
Major Windows users have not even upgraded to
Windows 7 yet and here comes Microsoft with Windows 8. Windows 8 is totally
redesigned and resurfaced operating system and will change everything. Everything
is changed the way how Windows users use their computers.
Windows 8 can be
thought as the operating system of future that not only runs on the PCs but may
run on tablets and smart devices. That means the fully supported touch features
and
metro
style apps.
This all sounds good in theory but are Windows
users ready for Windows 8? I installed
Windows
8 consumer preview and found myself totally lost in this new world. I am a
developer and being a developer, touch is not the main feature I look for but
that's just me.
While I am all excited about
Windows 8,
Microsoft certainly has bet on roulette and time will tell if Microsoft hits
0/00 or the numbers.
