Microsoft launches Windows 8

Mister Softee, also known as Microsoft unveiled Windows 8 last evening. Don't take my analysis of it, rather have a look at the folks who have actually had the device with the operating system in their hands. Check it out ---> Previewing The Future: Hands On With Windows 8. That is from the fellows over at Tech Crunch, this is another good view from PC World: Windows 8 Also Has Tools for Power Users. My sense is that it is a good product. But there are questions as there were when the iPad was first released. I suspect that ultimately it is all about the applications that are available to the users, to customize their tablets for their specific use. Microsoft have a kind of patchy record letting people into the circle. My two cents worth, I hope it works for them and their shareholders.
