Why upgrade to Windows 8

Windows 8 has been around for a while now and many users are willing or trying to upgrade into a windows 8 desktop instead of the old windows 7. Windows 8 took almost 3 years to develop in which it shocked many people because why did Microsoft take so long to develop it which it's most contents are the same as windows 7. In this article it states that the windows 8 has many new and different upgrades that will for sure impress many users because of its faster speed and the ability to do more things than the old windows 7. Then windows 8 also have a huge surprise in which it will be able to link your pc and your windows 8 tablet or phone that Microsoft are also making. There are quite a few upgrades in the windows 8 in which the core upgrade is the faster speed or the boot speed. If you shut down your computer it will be faster too. Another improvement is the security in which hackers will be able to break through really hard. The last update is the power management  which you will be able to have many different styles such as a better power saver.

Major Concepts

• The speed upgrade is one of the most vast improvement because you are able to boot your pc, or laptop way faster with this window
• Windows 8 security is more advance proven by hackers that it is really hard to break through

Potential Strengths/Advantages

The author has a lot of facts about the new windows 8 in which he is trying to talk to the people who are interested in buying this new product which he guided pretty well because he had pictures and statistics proving his point such as the speed improvement where he compared the booting speed of windows 8 and windows 7. These things are strengths because the author is trying to clarify the readers by saying why the windows 8 is beneficial to buy.

Potential Problems/Limitations/Disadvantages

I think there are 1 disadvantage that this author has in which he should have been describing his experiences on windows 8 even more because all he gave was statistics why windows 8 is good but not many of his opinions himself are included, so this article would have been good if the author had written about what he think is really good after using it for a month. The people also want to know what other people think about windows 8.

Discussion Questions

The main big question I have here is that when will this school will change the computers to windows 8. I want to know if its possible or not because myself have never tried using the windows 8 before so I would like to try to use it and see if there is a difference or not. This would also prove all the authors points he just mentioned.
