Work
It's a new era for PCs. Sleek and lightweight, with a focus on beautiful design and innovative materials, Windows PCs have reached new heights in performance and battery life.
Play
Entertainment and apps of every kind take center stage. Tap into your creative side, lose yourself in a game with friends, discover and download video and songs, and play them on your TV or Xbox 360.
Serious. Fun.
Catch a movie, take in the latest gossip, and power through your to-do list. Go from full-screen video to spreadsheet in one swipe, or snap them side-by-side for easy multi-tasking. Zoom through your files, do instant searches from any app you're in, and fire up familiar programs—they run faster than ever.
The desktop that you're used to—along with the familiar file structure and ways of getting around—is not only still here, it's even better than it was. And things like Control Panel and Task Manager are faster and easier to find and use.
Connected for success
Built-in mobile broadband features in Windows support 3G and 4G. As you move, your PC will automatically find and use available Wi-Fi hotspots. So you can be effortlessly connected and ready to work and stay in touch from anywhere.
Load up on apps from the Windows Store
Windows 8 and Windows RT give you access to the Windows Store, where you can discover a new world of apps for your PC. Just tap or click the Store tile and start exploring. Filter by price, rating, and more. Many apps are free. Others let you try before you buy. So explore and load up on apps—the more you have, the more you can do.
Apps work together
Things that used to take lots of different programs to do now flow together in one simple experience. Use the Photos app to see all your photos from Facebook and Flickr, and then upload them to your blog or send them to friends via email—all without ever leaving the app.
Get to the controls the same way in every app. Just swipe up from the bottom edge or right click with a mouse, and the app commands pop right up. Searching is the same in every app, too—use the Search charm no matter what app you're using to find things within the app, on your PC, or on the web.
Ready to roll: Your basic apps
Windows gives you apps for the basics and a lot more. Apps like People, Mail, Photos, and Messaging power you through essential tasks and work together to make everything easier.
Mail
Get email from your accounts—including Outlook, Gmail, and Yahoo!—all in one place.
SkyDrive
Seamless access to your files from your Windows apps, as well as from your other devices.
People
See the latest info and start conversations with contacts from your email accounts, Facebook, and LinkedIn.
Photos
See your photos and videos in one place, whether they're on Facebook, Flickr, SkyDrive, or another PC.
Video
Browse and watch movies and shows. Watch on your PC or play to your TV.

I upgraded from Win XP pro, so for me this is a huge upgrade. I can finally have more than 4 GB of ram, and proper support for SSD drives. I don't know why so many people bash this OS, I think it's great. I've used Win 7 as well, and 8 is a big step up. I don't miss the start button either. It took all of 2 hours to get used to not having it.

Okay, the metro UI really is not that great on a PC. On a tablet I can see it working but not on a mainstream PC. The desktop mode is great once you install Start8 or Classic Start and set it to boot straight to the desktop. The OS feels like it has MPD but its noticeably faster than Windows 7

Although Windows 8 is a bit of a departure of their classic OS fundamentally it is almost the same, with a new touch friendly UI laid parallel to it. After just a couple of days I realised it is nearly as easy to navigate as any other OS and while some complain that it was made for touchscreens first I have no troubles navigating with just a mouse on my desktop system. Plus there is an easy to use app store built into the Modern UI side of thing I still like the OS overall.

I will admit, I was hesitant to switch to 8, since i have been so comfortable with 7 for so long, but after I got used to the differences, there's no way I could go back. Booting is almost instantaneous, updates are worlds faster, the UI is really sleek and quick, just in every way better than 7. No one can ever give me a real reason why they prefer 7 other than the home screen layout (there is still the classic desktop alongside it) . Well NEWSFLASH: Apps are literally the exact same thing as programs, and if you dont like the tiles, just don't go to that screen, or you can use classic shell to make it look the same as 7.

Upgraded from Vista to Windows 8. Loads in about 27 seconds on a P5K with Core2 Duo u 3.0 Ghz and 6 GB RAM. WOW what a difference compared to Vista taking 5 minutes and longer sometimes. I wish I new before ordering from NCIX about the Microsoft direct upgrade special for 39.99 download version for WIN 8 Pro or 69.99 for a DVD version. Regardless of the extra $30 I paid, it is well worth the upgrade.

Wanting to future proof my system I picked up Windows 8. The OS has a great theme, is well designed and very polished. I was surprised given Windows 7 is fairly new by comparison. Windows 8 has all the features of 7 but provides the Metro UI. While the Metro UI isn't awful, it is difficult to navigate simply as users are not familiar with it.
Microsoft's latest OS, Windows 8, includes updates to some Windows 7 features that may allow for more intuitive use. The software was designed with interfaces for computers and tablets, but both devices can support either menu.
