Microsoft showcases the future of Windows with the upcoming Windows 8. This new version is tailored not only for tablets but desktops and multiple architectures as well. The interface exhibits a touchscreen-centric layout with multi-tasking capabilities, going beyond the traditional Windows’ look. Underneath the new UI, functionality of Windows 7 is maintained for familiar usage. Nevertheless, Microsoft’s bold changes may frustrate users, as they balance providing innovative tech with maintaining functionality for a wide range of consumers.
