People walk past a display at a press conference unveiling the Microsoft Windows 8 operating system in New York City. Windows 8 will offer a touch interface in an effort to bridge the gap between tablets, smartphones and personal computers. Microsoft will also sell a tablet called Surface to compete in the competitive tablet market. (Oct. 25, 2012) Credit: Getty Images

Microsoft's new operating system, Windows 8, debuted Friday.  It's available in an array of new laptops, tablets and computers.  If you have an older computer, you can buy it via download or DVD to upgrade your system.
