Microsoft Windows 8 is the latest version of the most popular Operating System in the world and it's a big release! Microsoft unashamedly calls Windows 8 "Windows Reimagined." After extensive research on the current and near-future utilization of computing devices, Microsoft redesigned the Windows OS based on what they learned. The result is Windows 8. This version introduces some major changes to Windows while keeping many of the most powerful, productive features. In this VTC course, author Mark Long introduces you to Windows 8 and demonstrates the new features and functionalities. You'll learn how to get Windows 8, how to install it, and how to get productive with it right away! To begin learning today, simply click on the movie links.

Well hello there and welcome to the Virtual Training Company's presentation of Introduction to Windows 8. My name is Mark Long and I'm going to be your instructor for this course and we're going to take a good, in-depth look at Windows 8, Microsoft's newest version of the Windows Operating System. Now they have created a splash with the introduction of Windows 8 all through the beta versions, release previews and release candidates, all the way up to RTM and final release. This thing has created a lot of talk and a lot of speculation out there. Some people are intimidated by the bold new look and different things that operate in it. Other people have embraced it and absolutely love it and I'm going to tell you I fell into the camp of, hey wait a minute, what's going on here the first time I saw it. Then it didn't take very long to put me firmly in the camp of this is some pretty cool stuff and with just a little bit of vision you can see where Microsoft's headed with this and it's going to be really great later on. But for now we're just going to jump into Windows 8. I'm going to talk to you about all kinds of things, how to get it, how to load it how to follow me through a lot of demos. We're going to play with the system we're going to work with it, see some of the ins and outs, some of the undocumented issues and, and functionalities that you can get out of Windows 8. But you're going to learn a lot about Windows 8 here so get comfortable and let's get started. Thanks for being here.
