Windows 8 was developed before Windows 7 shipped in 2009. However, it was not until January 2011 that the operating system was officially launched. In September 2011, Micrisoft introduced Windows Developer Preview to call for developers to create applications based on Metro interface at BUILD conference. By February 2012, the trial version of Windows 8 Consumer Preview was delivered to users and nearly complete versions of Windows 8 Release Preview launched in May this year.

The outstanding feature of Windows 8 is the Metro interface with characteristic " tiles " representing the application. This interface causes no controversy. Some people think that this change is completely new while others consider it "insulting" to Windows.

Microsoft plans to release Windows 8 on many devices, from computers, phones to tablets. Recently, the company has launched Surface tablet running its latest operating system. This product has a 10.6-inch screen that comes with Type Cover that works like an external keyboard, a stylus and initially supports Wi-Fi only. This product has two versions: Windows RT with Tegra 3 chip and 32 / 64GB memory, Windows 8 Pro with Intel Core i5 Ivy Bridge and 64 / 128GB SSD.
