CNET News has a great article out about the looming Windows 8 release in 2012.
The rumor is that Microsoft Windows 8 may be largely irrelevant to users of traditional PC’s. Research has shown that since the release of the Windows 8 Developer Preview in September, Microsoft has been battered by criticism from desktop users over the new Metro interface. In addition to those who just don’t like the new look and feel, many have complained that the touch-based UI simply doesn’t work well with a mouse and keyboard. In fact, Microsoft is actually telling organizations currently running Windows XP to jump to Windows 7 instead of waiting around for Windows 8.
Maybe you believe that Windows 8 will be a flop, or maybe you’re just not ready to move away from Windows 7. Either way, we here at Babsim have the perfect classes to make you a pro at using every little bit of Windows 7. Check out our upcoming classes below.
