Reimagining Windows, from the chipset to the experience Jason Lim General Manager, Windows Microsoft Asia Pacific

Fast, fluid and no-compromise experience

“Microsoft is trying to sew up those seams and offer

consumers a "consistent" experience, regardless of what

type of device they are using. The company is doing so

by focusing on the operating system, apps, and

hardware.”

Roger Cheng, CNET Asia

“It’s a huge radical rethinking of Windows — and one

that’s beautiful, logical and simple. In essence, it brings

the attractive, useful concept of Start-screen tiles,

currently available on Windows Phone 7 phones, to

laptops, desktop PC’s and tablets. I’ve been using

Windows 8 for about a week on a prototype Samsung

tablet. And I have got to tell you, I’m excited.”

David Pogue, New York Times

“Windows 8 is a breeze to use. It's tricked out with social

networking and synchronization, it's robust enough to

handle Photoshop, it gracefully moves from touch to

keyboard and mouse, and it's got some top-notch

security.”

Seth Rosenblatt, CNET Asia

“Microsoft has a vision, a dream even. It wants to have the same

operating system running across all its devices. It’s a laudable goal, with

many advantages for both Microsoft and its customers.”

Peter Pachal, Mashable

“As it stands, Windows 8 is a considerably better tablet

operating system than any previous version has

managed to be.”

Tim Stevens, Engadget "The Consumer Preview is exactly what we expected, and

that’s a good thing. It appears well featured, and is easy

to download and install. We need more time to test, but

our first glance has been positive. More as it comes."
