You’re probably familiar with this cycle: You first buy new hardware, and eventually to keep it current, software upgrades provide new experiences. As the release of Microsoft’s Windows 10 operating system unfolds, everyone is now faced with the daunting challenge of deciding upon whether it is worth to upgrade. How much of a transition would one have to endure to use computers with the same Proficiency as before? Has Microsoft screwed up another operating system as they have in the past? There is a running joke not just among computer enthusiasts, but also within the world at large. Usually, people say that every other version of Windows is “good”. We had Windows 98 which was a solid release, ME which was plagued with problems, XP which rebuilt the foundations of Windows, Vista had serious performance issues, and 7 brought the cycle back. 8 Was another unfortunate child of a terrible experience. It would then follow that Windows 10 will smooth out the bumps in this arduous road. Back when Windows 8 came to light, I heralded the OS as one of the most revolutionary in the lineup of Microsoft’s history. It was, for lack of better terms, the first truly connected version of Windows, one where cloud and touch became central to the Windows experience. This connected people not only to online services, but also their computers to the realities of touch gestures. As much as Microsoft is a company for the enterprise, it needs to cater to the experience of consumers, as we live in a world where work and home interactions are converging. Windows 8, in many ways, met this goal. There was only one problem. In reality, multiple problems. The big problem Manufacturers of new computers rarely included touch panels on then releasing hardware. At the time of Windows 8’s release, only 15% of computers had touch panels in mid 2013, as reported by Digital Trends, which made it a rare buy for many users. There existed only two or three categories of computers which shipped with touch at the time: Eight and ten inch Tablets, all-in-ones, and hybrids. The former was meant to be a cheap alternative to the iPad and other Android offerings, and came with a slower Intel Atom processor + usually 32 or 64 gigabytes of storage. This never made the dent that Netbooks did back in the day. There were also all-in-one computers, similar to Apple’s iMac, which offered a touchscreen inside which lay the
