Obviously, not all the features introduced in this edition were bad, it also brought along different updates that laid the foundations of the following operating system by Microsoft. Updates introduced in this version of Windows Microsoft tried to correct some of the problems of this operating system with the release of Windows 8.1 Preview and Enterprise, but it wasn't until the arrival of Windows 10 in summer of 2015 when the trouble was finally amended putting a full stop to one of the worst operating systems of all time.

A revolution focused mainly on the disappearance of the emblematic Start Menu and its attempt to optimize the interface for touchscreen devices, leading to a setback worthy of Windows Vista.

Trying to be as correct as possible and without taking a huge dig at the operating system developed by the guys at Redmond, officially released in October of 2012 and that stopped receiving updates less than a year later, we could say that the world wasn't prepared for such a revolution on our desktop and laptop computers. Among the most resounding failures of the company founded by Bill Gates and Paul Allen, we can mention their late arrival to the mobile phone sector with Windows Phone or their failed entrance in the field of MP3 players with Zune, but if there's a major failure that needs pointing out that's definitely their Windows 8 operating system. Even the largest and most important companies in the world of technology make mistakes and have to learn to overcome their failures: Apple and Google have done it, and so has Microsoft.
