Pocket-lint: Windows 8 caused something of a storm when it arrived. The radically different user interface meant that it won a lot of detractors, and not much love. When we reviewed it though, we actually found the OS to be leaps and bounds ahead of Windows 7. Of course, the Start screen isn't for everyone, and there are some navigational and UI problems that have come with the switch, but sometimes you need to change things a lot to get to the next step of evolution.
The cloud storage platform will drop support for older versions of Windows in early 2022.
Microsoft responded with Windows 8 and its Surface RT tablet.
In the earliest days of the Surface, it was hard to shake the notion that the line was something of a reference design for Windows 8.
compared to the rest of the list the surface pro is looking the most appealing. even though I would rather get a good cheap laptop and clean it up/upgrade it than getting a ultra book at this stage, in my opinion they still have a long way to go.
