That keep them connected to the files and documents they need at any time they want, no matter what device they use. The ability to continue to be productive when using touch. I am actually writing this entire blog using the touch screen keyboard on my Surface device and it's excellent. I flew out to Vancouver to train local computer specialists on the new Office; I didn’t once have to compromise my tablet experience by switching back to my laptop. Office on my tablet helped me be incredibly productive on the go.

If it was more than a couple of minutes, I feel your pain – there was a time that I’d start my PC, then head off to make coffee. When I’d come back, it’d be almost ready for me. Because I found something to do in the interim, I could live with the delay.

It is a fun experience navigating Windows 8 both on a Tablet and on a PC. With the
new Touch experience, you can navigate the new menus that make Windows 8 so
beautiful with simple gestures. Though mouse and keyboard users are able to

"Re-imagined and yet simpler than ever before." That's my first take on the Windows® 8 Release Preview. It has been out for a while now allowing the world to test out and experience the upcoming 're-imagined' Windows®8.  I honestly have to say that the Live Tiles function has to be my most favourite feature introduced into the new Microsoft® ecosystem. The fact that at first glance I can see everything that’s new and happening in my multiple email inbox's, what's new with my friends on my Social Media Networks, my favourite news feeds giving me the latest headlines and so much more!
