Today, Microsoft released the new prototype for the new Windows 8. And its really really similar to the newly release Microsoft 7 for the phone. Its not surprising though, the Windows 8 is made basically for touch screen and phones that dont have keyboards and dont require a mouse. Microsoft Windows 8 is just the temporary name for it until a new, better version can offically be released to the media and public. One disadvantage to the new software, is that all new touch screen electronics wont be able to run the older versions of software because there will be no compatibility layer.
I believe that all of these new programs and applications for phones and other electronics are a great idea..but at the same time they all are too expensive for someone to have to try to stay updated when they dont have compatibility modes. When they are compatible life is so much easier, but when its not, its just a struggle. I think that they should have to put a compatibility mode in due to the fact that its not possible for people to use the software that they purchase without it.
