“Microsoft bills Windows 8 as a “re-imagining” of the personal computer market’s dominant operating system”, (Poll: Scant demand for Microsoft’s Windows 8, http://www.azcentral.com/news/free/20121028microsoft-windows-8-poll-scant-demand.htmlMichael Liedtke, AP Technology Writer , Sun Oct 28, 2012 12:44 PM).
“Re-imagining” is one of those words that sound like it has never been used before. So, what would be the term for imagining a subject approximately three or more times? Also, it sounds a lot like AT&T with their “rethink” term usage.
In the survey lead by Liedtke, it is apparent that a very high percentage of individuals don’t want to upgrade, yet. What good reasons are there to upgrade?
Upgrade worries:
1. A virus submissioned your harddrive. Some known viruses were Stuxnet, Ram nit, Webmoner, and several other types of viruses which were all tough to eradicate.
2. Your laptop is old and ugly.
3. The speed is gone.
4. The number 8 is your lucky number.
5. You’ve upgraded everything else, already.
According to Microsoft, the best reasons to upgrade to Windows 8 include (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/meet):
1. Start screen sliding tiles.
2. Picture password.
3. The Surface.
4. Swipe and snap multitasking.
5. Streamlined apps from the Windows Store.
The price, $39.99, isn’t that bad for the upgrade to Windows 8 Pro. Keep in mind that this deal is only good from October 26, 2012 until January 31, 2013. The pack is limited to five upgrade licenses per customer. The price, as small as it is, must still offer help from Windows 7. Not too many people complained about Windows 7. My laptop still has the Windows 7 sticker on it.
What would be a cool addition is a “share” button on everything. Control + share; then, you get a wide array of avenues. You know, make it faster and easier to get the file where it should be.
Just a month ago, the computer stores were offering devices with Windows 7 like it was the ultimate option. Some people hadn’t even heard of Windows 8 until stores put the new ads out. Those ads function as the Windows 8 advertisement. Everybody knows about the upgrade package, now.
Go research Windows 8. Is your wallpaper getting redundant?
