A beautiful Start

Vibrant and beautiful, the Start screen is the new face of Windows. Each tile on the Start screen is connected to a person, app, or whatever else is important to you, and lights up with the latest info.

A new era of PCs

Sleek and lightweight, with fast startup times and long battery life, Windows 8 PCs are built for work and play. If you prefer a touchscreen, a mouse and keyboard, or both, there's a perfect PC for
you.

Serious. Fun.

Go from full-screen game to spreadsheet in one swipe, or snap them side-by-side and do both. Catch up with friends, zip through your files, and get things done faster than ever.

And more

There's much more to come. Come back to this site on October 26, 2012 for the full unveiling of Windows 8 and to download it at a great price. Or reserve your copy at a participating retailer today.
