Reimagining Windows, from the chipset to the experience
Jason Lim General Manager, Windows Microsoft Asia Pacific
Fast, fluid and no-compromise experience
As it stands, Windows 8 is a considerably better tablet operating system than any previous version has managed to be.
"The Consumer Preview is exactly what we expected, and thats a good thing. It appears well featured, and is easy to download and install. We need more time to test, but our first glance has been positive. More as it comes." Matt Brian, The Next Web Microsoft is trying to sew up those seams and offer consumers a "consistent" experience, regardless of what type of device they are using. The company is doing so by focusing on the operating system, apps, and hardware. Roger Cheng, CNET Asia Microsoft has a vision, a dream even. It wants to have the same operating system running across all its devices. Its a laudable goal, with many advantages for both Microsoft and its customers. Peter Pachal, Mashable Tim Stevens, Engadget Its a huge radical rethinking of Windows and one thats beautiful, logical and simple. In essence, it brings the attractive, useful concept of Start-screen tiles, currently available on Windows Phone 7 phones, to laptops, desktop PCs and tablets. Ive been using Windows 8 for about a week on a prototype Samsung tablet. And I have got to tell you, Im excited. David Pogue, New York Times Windows 8 is a breeze to use. It's tricked out with social networking and synchronization, it's robust enough to handle Photoshop, it gracefully moves from touch to keyboard and mouse, and it's got some top-notch security. Seth Rosenblatt, CNET Asia
