With Windows 8, Microsoft is steering its operating system into a
radically different direction. In the last ten years we've seen a shift
from desktop PCs to notebooks, and now some are prophesising the end of
the PC era as smartphones and tablets are becoming increasingly
commonplace. While Microsoft is the dominant player in the x86 operating
system market, the software giant has had little success with smartphone
and tablet products, these markets are largely dominated by Apple's iOS
and Google's Android operating systems. With its back against the wall,
Microsoft decided to make a major gamble by making massive changes to
the user interface of Windows 8 to make it more usable on touch-based
mobile devices.
