A mobile operating system for smartphones based on Microsoft's latest PC operating system, Windows 8. Although currently the third most popular mobile operating system behind Android and iOS, Windows Phone 8 (or WP8 for short) is one of the fastest growing operating systems in popularity.
It is fairly different to Android and iOS in layout with "Live Tiles", an integration of app icons and widgets that display information. Most apps either have a black background with white icons/text or vice versa.
Strengths of WP8 include being simple to use, a fairly customisable home (start) screen, integration of Microsoft software (Microsoft office e.t.c...) and Kid's Corner (a feature which allows others {especially kids} to use a WP8 device without gaining access to sensitive apps).
Weaknesses include having weak content stores compared to Android and iOS, the hardware designed to run WP8 lacking in performance in the high-end market and also not being as refined as Android or iOS.
Nokia is the main brand that creates devices to run WP8 (known as Lumias) but Samsung and HTC also make devices. Prices range from around $200 to $900 AUD.

Guy: That phone's weird, what is it?
Girl: It's a Nokia Lumia, it runs Windows Phone 8. I'm still learning how to use it since it's different but I'm learning quick.

Windows Movie Maker is a program that's useful for first timers of video editing and after a week or so you'll move on to something else because the features are so primitive...

Get the Windows 95 mug.The Windows edition after Windows Vista. It is much better than Vista, especially because of the massive surge of Windows 7 Beta downloads that surpassed the sales of Windows Vista 7 weeks after Vista's release. Many anti-Microsoft users are hesitant because of Vista's flaws, and some even criticize 7 without even trying the Release Candidate version.
Windows 7 uses less system resources than Vista, and it has an improved GUI. It also has many new features, like ribbons added onto Paint and Notepad, and a calculator that is actually usable at a level of math above Pre-Algebra. Networking will also be easier with the addition of libraries, which are folders that can house multiple files all over your computer in one area.
