Windows 8 may well go down in history as one of the shortest-supported operating systems in Microsoft’s long and storied history.

Microsoft confirmed that customers on Windows 8 have to move to Windows 8.1 in order to remain supported after January 12, 2016.
Anyone still on Windows 8 – according to NetMarketShare that’s just under 3 percent of desktop users – will need to either upgrade to Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 to continue receiving security updates. If you upgrade to 8.1, then you’ll extend your OS support until January 10th 2023. This new part of Microsoft’s strategy to forcing everybody to Windows 10 may actually counter its goodwill and turn Windows 7/8.1 off.
The latest figures to emerge concerning Windows 10 adoption show that Microsoft’s latest OS is building up a good head of steam with consumers, but not faring so well in the workplace. So upgrade unless you want to be vulnerable.
More importantly, you can also downgrade to the long-forgotten Windows 7.
Windows 8 won’t be missed.
A new update to the Windows Insider app on Windows 10 Mobile allows users to opt out of pre-production builds rather easily-probably preparing testers of older devices for their release of Windows 10 Mobile.
Overall, significantly higher customer satisfaction with Windows 10 is shown than any prior version of Windows. Thank you! You can download Skype for iPhone from the App Store for free.
