Windows 8 Preview
According to all reports, Windows 8 will be available as early as Spring 2012. When it does, I will have no other choice but to run out and buy it if I want to remain informative to customers who ask for my help and to remain competitive if I want to stay in business. With every new operating system, there is a level of excitement I feel when I have the DVD in my hand and I am about to install it. Over the past couple of months I have downloaded and installed the Windows 8 beta developer preview onto a virtual drive. I purchased the Windows Phone 7 when it became available in November of 2010 so I was already familiar with the metro tiles. Although Windows 8 is in it’s infancy, I have to admit for the first time in my life since becoming a computer enthusiast, I am not excited about this OS. Windows 8 is supposed to be chock full of innovative features but so far I am not impressed. As of today’s date, if you were to ask my opinion, when Windows 8 is ready for the general public, I think I will install it on a virtual drive and remain a loyal Windows 7 user.
