Quick review

The good
Quick, easy to use, looks and works great
The bad
Too many confusing versions, graphics heavy
Verdict
It may not be cool to like Microsoft but this version of the new OS is simple stunning: easy to use, impressive and (so far) safe to use, which makes upgrading to it a far more enjoyable thought
