Maximum PC: After months of anticipation, sneak peeks, early looks, and even full blown reviews (including our own), the era of Windows 8 is finally upon us. Yes, general availability is still several hours away (Windows 8 formally launches on Octobe 26, 2012), but the festivities have already begun, starting with and ad campaign and continuing today with a livestream introducing the touch-friendly OS. You can view the whole below.
And, for once, some of what it can do looks genuinely useful.
Microsoft is laying off more employees, a new round after they cut thousands last year. It seems like many big tech companies are doing the same.
Amidst the AI frenzy of 2023, major players like Google, Microsoft, and Meta are in the spotlight, launching their own generative AI systems.
Windows 8 "Era?" eh? We'll see..
Oh man
is it just me or is releasing a new OS every 3 years a bit ridiculous. i mean lets be realistic, people used xp from say 2001/2002 and probably only changed to win 7 in 2009/2010. thats a period of about 8 years on 1 OS. whats wrong with win7 that makes it not good anymore. surely they could have added the features of windows 8 to windows 7 via a simple service pack.
