Back in 1991, Microsoft released their
first version of Windows, a mouse-driven graphical user interface that
revolutionized the way we use computers, both at home and in the
workplace.
Microsoft's newest operating system has a whole new interface and loads
of new features. Windows 8 introduces a new type of application: the
Windows Store app. Windows Store apps have a brand new look and feel,
run on a variety of devices, and you sell them on the Windows Store.
Here is a quick Guide for getting up to speed quickly and getting the
most out of Windows 8. Whichever device you end up running Windows 8 on,
you'll need to know a few things.
- How are you going to get the data from your current operating system to the new one?
- You'll probably be wondering where the famous Microsoft desktop has gone.
- You might be wondering just what is going on: why did Microsoft discard the Start menu, and why does its replacement look like it was designed for children?
