Ngokusho kweComputerWorld, iMicrosoft izonikela isikhathi esivamile sezinsuku ezingama-30 yenguqulo entsha yohlelo lwayo olusebenza lweWindows 8.
Kulula ukuqagela ukuthi isizathu salokhu ngumzamo wokuvikela iWindows 8 kumapirates ngangokunokwenzeka. Manje, lapho kufakwa iWindows, umsebenzisi kuzodingeka ukuthi afake ukhiye womkhiqizo, futhi ngalesi sikhathi ikhompyutha kufanele ibe nokuxhumeka kwi-Intanethi (ngiyazibuza ukuthi labo abangenayo i-Intanethi noma labo abadinga inethiwekhi ezosebenza nayo kumele benze kanjani kuqala izilungiselelo ezidingekayo ohlelweni ?). Ngaphandle kwalokhu, kubikwa ukuthi umsebenzisi akakwazi ukufaka iWindows 8.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, izindaba, kubukeka kimi, zilahlekelwa ukuxhumana kwayo nengxenye yayo yokuqala (lokho kufakwa ngeke kwenzeke ngaphandle kokubheka ukhiye): kubikwa ukuthi ngemuva kokufakwa kweWindows 8, ukuxhumana kuzosungulwa ngokuxhumana namaseva ahambisanayo futhi uma kwatholakala ukuthi idatha efakiwe ayihambelani neyangempela noma yebiwe kothile, khona-ke izinguquko esizijwayele ku-Windows 7 zizokwenzeka ngeWindows: isizinda sedeskithophu emnyama enomyalezo ophathelene nesidingo sokusebenzisa isoftware esemthethweni kuphela. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kubikwa ukuthi ukuqalwa okuzenzakalelayo noma ukuvala kwekhompyutha nakho kungenzeka.
Amaphuzu okugcina, yiqiniso, awathandeki. Kepha, ngokubona kwami emibhalweni izindaba zalabo bafana abaziphatha ngokungemthetho iWindows, yilezi zinto ezintsha ezingafanele zimboze kakhulu impilo - ngandlela thile, ukufinyelela ohlelweni kuzotholakala futhi kungenziwa okuthile ngakho. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, kucatshangwa ukuthi lokhu akuyona ukuphela kwento entsha enjalo. Ngokwazi kwami engikukhumbulayo, iWindows 7 nayo "yaphuka" isikhathi eside ngaphambi kokukhiqizwa kokuhlukahluka kwayo okujwayelekile, futhi abasebenzisi abaningi abakhethe ukufaka inguqulo engekho emthethweni babevame ukucabanga ngesikrini esimnyama esingezansi.
Kepha mina, ngilindele ukuthi lapho sengikwazi ukulanda ngokusemthethweni iWindows 8 yami enelayisense ngo-Okthoba 26 - ngizobona ukuthi kuphethe ini. Angizange ngifake kuqala ukubuka kwabathengi kweWindows 8, ngijwayelene nakho kuphela kusuka kuzibuyekezo zabanye abantu.
