Getting Started: Your Guide to Windows 8

Now, in 2012, they hope to stage a new revolution with Windows 8, perhaps Microsoft’s most daring release yet. Featuring an unusual tile-based Start screen that’s optimized for touchscreen devices, Windows 8 will be available on new computers, laptops and ultrabooks, hybrid tablets and even a new range of Microsoft-branded, iPad-style tablets called Microsoft Surface.

With this free guide you will also receive daily updates on new cool websites and programs in your email for free courtesy of MakeUseOf.
