Last summer Windows 8  made its first public demonstration.    Though it is not out yet, there is a preview version that can be downloaded which came out a few weeks ago. So far it has already had over 1 million downloads.  The product is said to come out in late 2012.  It is mainly designed around touch screens but works on both tablets and PC’s.  It runs of HTML 5 and JavaScript.  Although it is new, older versions of Windows apps will still work, they will not be fitted to the screen like the new ones are.  Windows 8 is extremely simple to work.  Just tap and swipe to other apps.  One of the newer features is that the user can use 2 apps at once by splitting the screen.  One app will take up the right side, and the other app will take up the left side; convenient for multi tasking.  Underneath all the new features, when the user gets to the core of it, it is still Windows.  There is still a task bar, a file manager, and app icons.  When it comes out, hopefully it will be successful!
