The Windows 8 begin to become a story, since after a brief presence, they are drawing their way to their retirement. It is a fact, Microsoft has stopped all the retail sales of its operating system.
As of October 31st, retailers can no longer order Windows 8 and will sell what they already have in stock.themetheirs. So if someone gets Windows 8 it will be because they bought a new computer. The operating system which was released just two years ago on October 26, 2012, is starting to retire as Microsoft prepares Windows 10, which is expected to hit the market in the middle of next year.
Η εταιρεία έχει δηλώσει ότι θα συνεχίσει να υποστηρίζει το λειτουργικό σύστημα μέχρι τον Ιανουάριο του 2023. Τα Windows 8 έφεραν σημαντικές αλλαγές στην κλασική εμφάνιση των Windows που όλοι γνωρίζαμε, αλλά αυτό δεν ήταν απαραίτητα καλό. Πάρα πολλοί αντέδρασαν δουλεύοντας πάνω στο νέο UI που λάνσαρε η Microsoft, καθώς ήταν περισσότερο για οθόνες αφής παρά για κλασικούς υπολογιστές με πληκτρολόγιο και mouse.
Therefore, users were probably more upset with the news of Windows 7 retirement (Windows 7 Home Basic, Home PremiumAnd Ultimate) that are no longer available for purchase and installation on new computers from manufacturers.
Only sales of Windows 7 Professional will continue and Microsoft has stated that it will continue to support them one year after the sales end.
