hands down the best version of Windows Microsoft has ever released
but also
its many basic desktop funcions blow the competition out of the water.
Microsoft snuck some handy functionality into the modern UI, for which Windows' rivals have no match.
The article goes on to describe 12 different features that make Windows 8
the best operating system around.
Two of the 12 include:
--Native Web Browser
--Browser Security, with IE for the past 2 year having been the target of far fewer exploits than Apple's Safarri, Google's Chrome, or Mozilla's Firefox, according to a Symantec report and
--Getting Things Done
when it's time to roll up your sleeves, grit your teeth, and get things done, nothing tops a Windows machine.
With its new Refresh option, according to the article, one can even perform a clean install of one's OS without actually first wiping one's HDD clean.
