Description:
Microsoft officially launched Windows 8 on October 26th along with a new tablet device, the Surface RT. This launch of Windows and devices represents Microsoft’s shift from a software company to a devices and services company. Microsoft’s CEO, Steve Ballmer, said Windows 8 “is the biggest change since Windows 95” at their Worldwide Partner Conference in June. You remember the questions you had back then. You may even remember your first experience with Windows 95. What questions will you have this time? How will you find the answers? What will your first experience be with Windows 8? Get prepared for this change by joining us at the Microsoft Store in Lenox Mall on November 12th. Spend the morning with other business owners and managers as we look at Windows 8 and what changes it introduces. Then, experience Windows 8 with hands on access to the latest devices from Microsoft and other manufacturers. Finally, we will discuss how Windows 8 on these new devices combined with Microsoft Online Services can have a positive impact on your business.
