I'm sure this is great move for Microsoft, but is it for the consumer? Do we really need windows, the favorite target of spyware, adware, malware, hijacks, etc. to be compatible with all devices? Do we feel the need to upgrade from 7/8?
I dont really buy into the hype here.

I have been using Windows 8 since the beta testing period, not having any seperate antivirus program installed, and I haven´t encountered one, single problem with spyware or viruses. I might have had some but not that I have noticed. I think MS really upped the security with W8.
