What Is a Window 8 and How Successful Do You Think It Will Be?
What is a window 8 and how successful do you think it will be?
In this assignment I will be focusing on the major differences between the two OS; windows 7 and windows 8. I will also be identifying, based on my own views how successful windows 8 will be.
Windows 8 is the latest version of Microsoft operating system. For some years now we've had windows 7 which was and still is a fantastic operating system. Many years have passed by and it’s only now Microsoft have finally decided to release their new Operating system (OS) called windows 8. Microsoft created a preview which received a lot of bad reviews which unfortunately outweighed the good reviews.
The release of Windows 8 has built up a lot of excitement amongst Microsoft enthusiasts and devotees. This is because Microsoft introduced new features into their new OS, for example Metro design, Windows Store and fast boot etc. Microsoft extended their popularity amongst mac and linux users as these features are also familiar to them.
In fact, Windows 8 was deemed remarkable not only for its new features, but for the removal of some old features which were viewed to be highly insignificant and irrelevant to the majority of Microsoft enthusiasts and users. Example being, applications such as ‘media centre’ which did not generate much popularity amongst most users was one of the few applications to be removed. Although this app has been removed it can still be purchased at the Microsoft store for those who did find it beneficial.
Remarkable as windows 8 may seem some, I will maintained an un- biased opinion until I compare the two operating systems. I will then identify whether or not my view will differ from the general population that are in favour of the new OS.

The start button which first appeared in Windows 95 which sustained its significance throughout each new Windows version has now been removed. This has been replaced with a small window called a ‘hot spot’ in the bottom-left
