Windows 8 Reviews

Reviews and comparisons from people who already have used this product  mentions useful features like not needing a antivirus anymore due to the Window’s antivirus “windows Defender” already built in , the operating system being more snappy and loading  faster , and the desktop search being much better than windows 7. With most Australian Technology  retailers now advertising and retailing windows 8, expect some hot competition and advertising  to flog this product.

Microsoft also said PC makers such as Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, Samsung and Sony were also now taking pre-orders for machines with Windows 8 pre-installed. Expect price comparisons  to bring down the price of this software by retailers  as time goes by .
