A fair number of commenters online have expressed little or no interest in upgrading, especially when Windows 7 works perfectly fine. Microsoft is pinning its hopes on a new Start Screen interface that displays installed programs in a grid, similar to the interface of a tablet.
Live information — such as emails, weather and social networking updates — also feature on the Start Screen.
