The long awaited launch of Windows 8 is finally here! Last week Microsoft announced the global availability of Windows 8. The new operating system became available for purchase in more than 140 markets and 37 languages in two primary versions—Windows 8 and Windows 8 Pro, as well as Windows 8 Enterprise for large organizations. That’s pretty huge, right?
Windows 8
I got a sneak peek of Windows 8 over the summer when I went to NYC for the BlogHer conference. I had a chance to meet with some of the fabulous ladies from Microsoft, and saw some of the awesome new products that are available, including Windows 8 and the new Surface tablet. I look forward to becoming more familiar with the operating system and sharing it with you.
Have you made the switch to Windows 8 yet? In addition to the wide range of new Windows devices, including Surface!, existing Windows 7 customers can also upgrade their current devices. Upgrade offer available at www.windowsupgradeoffer.com.
