Microsoft considers Windows 8 one of the major paradigm shifts in the history of its operating systems, tantamount to the move to Windows 95 sixteen years ago. That was the first Microsoft OS to truly bid farewell to the underlying DOS command-line system, moving instead to a fully graphical desktop and windowing system. The latest change is prompted by the change in the computing landscape, with mobile, cloud, and social networking taking over. From what Microsoft has shown of it, Windows 8 seems to be an even more radical break from its predecessor than Apple's latest release, OS X Lion, which itself is no small upgrade.
