Microsoft's latest operating system, Windows 8, is one of the most polarising tech products of all time. Some people love it, others hate it — and both sides have been highly vocal about it, too.

On May 16, from noon to 1pm AEST, join popular ZDNet contributors Phil Dobbie and Ed Bott for a highly informative webinar that tackles the issues IT professionals need to know about Windows 8.

This webinar will discuss:

  • Features you need to know about
  • How much training is needed for IT pros and other office employees
  • When is the next big update arriving?
  • Should you deploy Windows 8 now, wait for Windows 8.1, or stick with what you have?

To reserve your place in this webinar, visit the registration page, and be sure to join us on May 16.

  • Windows Is Not To Be "Loved" Or "Hated"

    It's just a product. Customers will buy it if it satisfies their needs, otherwise they will reject it.

    So far the majority are tending towards rejecting it.

    • Somehow I doubt that statement.

      60 million + licenses sold as of January, market share approaching all versions of OSX combined... Hard to call that rejected.

      • Re: 60 million + licenses sold as of January

        Here it is, heading into May, and any advance on that 60 million?

        Going once, going twice...

        • Advance

          Yes it's now sixty million and one as I bought a copy last week although I don't like it and I am sending it back so maybe this will not count towards the total?

      • 60 million licenses sold means nothing

        That's not impressive since most of those licenses are sold to OEMs to push Windows 8 onto their new, refreshed product lines...that almost no one is buying.

        The true adoption rate, sans OEMs, is probably a lot lower.

        No matter how you spin it, Windows 8 is a tremendous flop. Six months since launch is plenty of time to figure that out with 99.99% certainty.

  • Ed Bott???!!!

    Ed Bott?!

    That's like turning to FOX news to evaluate whats going on in politics (FOX will always say republicans good, democrats bad). Ed is the embodiment of the word bias and is a CONSISTENT Microsoft cheerleader.

    One could not possibly get good information with Ed Bott leading the show.

    • Infotaiment

      It should be amusing to hear the pitches for entrprise adoption of Win8 from Microsoft's EdBott 8.

  • Microsoft Mail and News.

    I don't know why the Microsoft application Microsoft Mail and News, found on Windows 95 with Plus pack or in Windows 98 as default, has MORE FEATURES than the Mail application found in Windows 8. Same for all Windows 8 apps.
