      The best OS yet

    I have been using all of Microsoft's operating systems since Windows 3.1, and this is again, the latest and greatest OS. It is both user friendly and smooth. The new Metro look is very attractive. It has features for power user as well as your average guy. Everyone will feel at home using this new OS. The App Store is also cool, although there are not many apps as of now. The intergration with the social side is also extremely helpful. I enjoy using the social features, but also as a developer it gives me the power where I need it. Windows 8 is indeed the best OS out there.
