14 DAY TRIAL // Windows 8 is Microsoft’s latest bet in the software market, as the company hopes to completely reinvent the computer with its new operating system.
Still, lots of users think that Windows 7 is much better, pointing out that all GUI changes in Windows 8 are actually making it a lot more difficult to use.
Julie Larson-Green, the new Windows division head after Steven Sinofsky’s departure, said in an interview with ABC News that Microsoft has been “thinking about Windows 8 even before Windows 7 shipped,” which proves that the new software is actually a pretty well developed product.
What’s more, Green explained that Microsoft started the Windows 8 project even before the iPad came out, so the company isn’t actually trying to copy Apple’s example. In fact, it may be the other way around.
