My first impression of the bargain-basement $39.99 Windows OS upgrade: To all
outward appearances, Windows 8 is a vivid, visual, deeply rewarding and aesthetically pleasing skin to the 2009-released Windows 7 PC desktop OS. Big deal, you might say. However, digging in a bit, I found that this rather beautiful desktop isn’t just a revamp of Windows 95 and later incarnations, with their ever-proliferating static shortcut icons. The icons in Windows 8 are live.
