Windows 7; only better
Windows 8 is built on the rock-solid foundation of Windows 7; but itâ€s been improved on all fronts. You can install Windows 8 on the same hardware that powers Windows Vista and Windows 7; and youâ€ll love how it works on new devices; too.

You can also see how other people have rated apps. Youâ€ll always know whatâ€s interesting; new and popular. You wonâ€t have to worry about buying something you donâ€t want because you can try before you buy; if the app supports it. If you try an app and like it; you can buy it and continue using the full app with no inte
