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.

Windows 8 | CharmsSearch. Search for anything. You can search just the app you're in (like finding a specific message in Mail), search another app (look up something on the Internet), or you can search your entire PC (for an app, setting, or file).

Share. Share files and info with people you know or send info to another app, without leaving the app you're in. You can email photos to your mom, update your Facebook status, or send a link to your note–taking app.

Start. Get to your Start screen. Or if you're already on Start, you can use this charm to go back to the last app you were in.

Devices. Use all of the devices that are connected to your PC, both wired and wireless. You can print from an app, sync with your phone, or stream your latest home movie to your TV.

Settings. Change settings for apps and your PC. You'll find settings, help, and info for the app you're in, plus common PC settings—network connection, volume, brightness, notifications, power, and keyboard. These PC settings are the same no matter where you are in Windows, but the app settings are different in every app. You can also change settings for your PC when you select Change PC settings. It's where you change your lock screen picture, manage notifications, and more.
