Posted October 26, 201212 yr FPCH Admin Posted on Everything Microsoft - Latest Microsoft News, Guides, Reviews & Themes After years of development, the latest version of Microsoft’s new operating system Windows 8 launched at midnight last night. It is most probably the most radical version of the Windows OS so far, designed to run not just on desktop PCs, but also on tablets and other touch based devices. Microsoft needed to add this support to Windows 8, because it’s dominant position in the market is shrinking as users shift usage away from traditional PC devices to tablets and smartphones.
