[Windows 8] Usefull links

You certainly heard of Windows 8.
 Probably that you even installed that OS on a PC to test it.

Surprised by lack of Start Menu ? Did you ever tested that OS on a touch device ?


In this article, I would like to share with you my list of the most important resources for Windows 8.


To start, I recommend you to watch a global presentation of some features in Windows 8 Entreprise :
