Windows 8

In techradar

Microsoft has launched an official Windows 8 blog, with the opening post speaking of the company's humility and a promise not to repeat past mistakes.

The shadow of Microsoft Vista looms large over the new OS, with consumers, developers and Microsoft itself unlikely to forget the catastrophic iteration of Windows any time soon.

The opening post, penned by Microsoft's Steven Sinofsky, states: "We've heard people express frustration over how little we've communicated so far about Windows 8.

"We've certainly learned lessons over the years about the perils of talking about features before we have a solid understanding of our ability to execute."
