The only Windows operating system that is both less capable than Vista and Mac OS X. It "runs" better than many other versions of Windows, which was achieved by removing the capability of using applications.
After a fan threatened to say the name "Steve Jobs", Bill Gates released Windows 8.1, which restored the ability to download apps and the Desktop, although apps still did not actually do anything)
There is a legend that more information about this operating system may be located under Bill Gates' solid gold toilet in Redmond, but no one remembers any of this information.

Get the Windows 8 mug.A computer operating system by Microsoft to be released in October 2012. Its layout is similar to that of Windows Phone 7 for the reason that Windows 8 is expected to be used mostly on touch screens and tablets. And even if you don't have either of those, Windows 8 has a desktop mode which looks exactly like that of Windows 7 except there's no Start Button, much to the dismay of Windows fanatics. Windows 8 will be released alongside Windows Phone 8 and Microsoft Surface tablets.

Get the Windows 8 mug.It's Windows 8 but usable and actually good and gets even better with Windows 8.1 Update 1. The start button is back, there's now an all apps view on the start screen, search just searches (before it took you to a different screen, and you had to select what category you were searching in, now it's just a bar that shows up on the right side of the screen and searches everywhere by default), you can boot directly to desktop without going to start, you can use your desktop wallpaper on start, and much more plus more is still being added. You also get used to the metro interface and if you don't like it, Microsoft is adding the old start menu back in Windows 8.1 Update 2. However, it still feels like a beta and Windows 9 will probably be the next god-tier OS like Windows XP and 7, but it's a step in the right direction and feels like you're using a PC and not a tablet.
Windows 7 user: Windows 8 sucks
