Offered in 0 more formatsPogue, The New York Times tech columnist, introduces Microsoft's latest iteration of Windows as two operating systems in one: a refined version of Windows 7, plus a colorful new touchscreen tile-based interface (perhaps transitional to an all touchscreen future). Covering all versions of Windows 8 including Windows RT, he offers tips on all its aspects from working with TileWorld apps to sharing files on networks. The guide includes information on installation, playing with the Registry, locating features that were in previous Windows versions, and a master list of keystrokes.
