MICROSOFT has launched its new Windows 8 operating system and Surface tablet in a bid to revive interest in its flagship product and regain ground lost to Apple and Google in mobile computing.
"We've reimagined Windows and we've reimagined the whole PC industry," said Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer.
While Windows 7 was introduced three years ago, Windows 8 represents the biggest change in Microsoft's user interface since Windows 95 came out 17 years ago.
