Windows 8 may be the biggest gamble in technology history. Instead of simply updating Windows 7 with new eye candy and features, Microsoft chose to build something completely new—a combination tablet/desktop operating system. The company's line is that it's a "no-compromise" proposition—a touch-friendly environment for tablets combined with the ability to run all your existing Windows programs. I've been using and writing about the operating system in both its pre-release versions and the RTM (released to manufacturing) version for over a year now. I consider the new hybrid tablet/PC operating system compelling, beautifully designed, well-thought-out, and fast. And its upgrade price of $39.99 for users of all Windows versions back to XP represents a new level of value from Microsoft.
Users of Windows versions from the last dozen years or more will be greeted with something completely unfamiliar: The newfangled Windows Start screen, featuring Windows-Phone like tiles that display info based on the apps they represent. Touching or clicking on a tile, as you'd expect, opens the app, but it's after this that the perplexity sets in. To really get going with the OS, you need to know a few gestures, either mouse or touch. This contrasts with using an iPad, which most people could pick up and use without needing to know about any special actions.
