Just When You Were Thinking Of Dropping Microsoft For Apple, Windows 8 Is Favorably Reviewed Versus Apple iOSs Mountain Lion Hot

"At its heart, Mac OS X is still an operating system designed for desktops and laptops," reports PCWorld's Nick Mediati. "Sure, Apple brought over a number of features from the iPad, but OS X is still based on windows, menus, folders, and the like.

Windows 8 is expected to be released in October 2012.
