Microsoft Applications

My home and work computers have windows operating systems, ranging from xp through to windows 8. Having gained experience with windows 7 I have found adjusting to the windows  8 operating system troublesome. Windows 8  with integrated touch screen technology ( if your computer has this facility) does have  its advantages, however the new layout of the desk top I feel is difficult to navigate.  In time I  hope to build experience  of the windows 8 operating system and in time develop skills to utilise windows 8 fully. I have used Microsoft word and powerpoint to prepare presentations.  I have limited knowledge and practical use of excel. I will usually choose Internet explorer for my INTERNET search engine.
