Support for the programs

Aug 8, 2013 10:41PM PDT

Windows 8 is very user friendly and are easy to handle. The only problems with it is support of older programs and software. If we try to install older software which are useful in our daily life, it may not work with window 8.

Was there any doubt here?

I could write the same and change the 8 to 7, Vista, XP, ME and others.

Not much new going on here.

What a discovery!

Have you been in a cave the last 30 years? Did you know you can get running water and electric lights in your house? Seriously, are you just now coming to this discovery? Do you know about compatibility mode?
