2- Disadvantages:

There aren`t any important defects in this version but little tiny hints:

1-small problem in this version is that installing these versions on the ordinary device will give you another appearance of the old windows like the toolbars at the footer of the screen

2-when you apply the news application you must install at first the English version of RSS then you can install the Arabic one

3-when you install some application in the new version it will give you the erase toolbar of windows 7 but you can easily avoid this problem

4-one of the most important problems is that the version can access your basic information through your mail and choose any background then applying it which might be irritating

Anyway these problems will be solved as it is only trial version

3-Hints:

You can change your log in method not by your account but by putting image as a default password by entering you control board choosing users then picture password

To avoid the RSS problems you must install the English version then the Arabic one

Windows 8 Arabic writing concentrated on the Islamic methods of writing very much

Conclusion:

This version is a very brilliant one enables the developers create new applications by using HTML5 and at the same time mix both the old and the new version to satisfy all the users

I expect great increase in the numbers of the users of this version due to its revolutionary style and concentration on the social networks
