You can now download Windows 8 Pro for £24.99 from the official Microsoft Windows website.
Don’t forget to read my review of Windows 8 posted recently for information regarding Microsoft’s latest release.
Windows 8 is indeed a bold leap for Microsoft, with its new tiled Start Screen interface, fullscreen apps and the desktop becoming an almost secondary experience. Although the interface switching can be a little jarring at times as you are jumping from fullscreen apps to the desktop and back again, the features included are actually very appealing. It’s faster than Windows 7, includes additional abilities and enhanced desktop functionality while still managing to work beautifully on tablet devices. Windows 8 Review by James Woodcock
