What I have found is that there is very little or no difference at all between the either one of the operating systems but that there are a what they label as being apps (short for applications) on the start page of the windows 8 computer when it is first switched on.
The apps have been quite prevalent on other similar devices for quite some time and now and because of the latest Microsoft operating system, they are all prevailing in the world of computers as well.
That then beggars the question as to why we are having apps foisted upon us in the first place when there are those of us who have been quite happy to do without them.
The answer to that question just may lay in the reality of the mark of the beast being introduced over here in Australia via the applications on the iphone -- and that those of us who have resisted the Iphone are now having the apps foisted upon them anyway.
That statement does not seem to be all that far removed from the truth when a minimal price is being charged for windows 8 and that it can be installed on any computer hardware going right back to the early days of XP.
In the past whenever a new operating system came out from Microsoft it involved hundreds and hundreds of dollars, alternatively, the cost of a new operating system involved the purchase of a new computer with the latest operating system already installed.
Of course, there is no one who is forcing anyone to go out and buy this latest version of windows.
However, for the reasons mentioned above they are making it so attractive to do so that anyone with an old computer would be foolish not to do so. The reality of what I have mentioned above verifies that the Mark of the Beast is an application tattooed onto the skin and that it is being very cleverly foisted upon us over here in Australia even as I write this piece.
What is taking place is also a true testament to the true cunning of Satan and to the foolishness of those who have not yet accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as their saviour and deliverer.
WHY I AM NOT A DISPENSATIONALIST; John Nelson Darby is recognized as the father of dispensationalism later made popular in the United States by Cyrus Scofield's Scofield Reference Bible. Charles Henry Mackintosh, 1820–1896, with his popular style spread Darby's teachings to humbler elements in society and may be regarded as the journalist of the Brethren Movement. CHM popularised Darby more than any other Brethren author. As there was no Christian teaching of a “rapture” before Darby began preaching about it in the 1830s, he is sometimes credited with originating the "secret rapture" theory wherein Christ will suddenly remove His bride, the Church, from this world before the judgments of the tribulation. Dispensationalist beliefs about the fate of the Jews and the re-establishment of the Kingdom of Israel put dispensationalists at the forefront of Christian Zionism, because "God is able to graft them in again," and they believe that in His grace he will do so according to their understanding of Old Testament prophecy. They believe that, while the methodologies of God may change, His purposes to bless Israel will never be forgotten, just as He has shown unmerited favour to the Church, He will do so to a remnant of Israel to fulfill all the promises made to the genetic seed of Abraham. I am not a dispensationalist; it is unbiblical.
