windows 8 Microsoft’s Julie Larson-Green, vice president of Windows Experience, provides a set-up to Windows 8 that sounds great in theory, but ridiculously hard to pull off. Larson-Green noted “effortless movement between existing Windows programs and new Windows 8 apps.” Then Larson-Green got on the reverse compatibility train. The full capabilities of Windows continue to be available to you, including the Windows Explorer and Desktop, as does compatibility with all Windows 7 logo PCs, software and peripherals. Although the new user interface is designed and optimized for touch, it works equally well with a mouse and keyboard.
Our approach means no compromises — you get to use whatever kind of device you prefer, with peripherals you choose, to run the apps you love. This is sure to inspire a new generation of hardware and software development, improving the experience for PC users around the world.
