Windows 8 is beginning to peek out in versions you can’t even call “beta”, but that hasn’t stopped the criticism.  The look of Microsoft Windows hasn’t changed dramatically in over 15 years, hence a lot of complaining.  Now there are indications that the new Windows 8 won’t look like Windows 7, and guess what – people are complaining.  So far it looks like Microsoft is actually going to give you a choice (try to get a “choice” from Apple.)  There is the “Metro” interface that is tile based like that on Windows Phone 7, and then there is the Vista/7 interface that most in the last few years are familiar with.  What to do – what to do? 

Windows 8 is beginning to get out to the tech community like yours truly, but I’ll do my best to let you know what I think this means for the average user.  I have clients who’ve had a hard time going from XP to Windows 7, so depending on the actual release of Windows 8 next year and your computing needs, moving to Windows 8 may or may not be a good idea.

I’ll keep you posted.  Just keep checking back in – as always I’ll do my best no to waste your time.
