Windows 8 to include built-in Reset

Thursday, January 5th, 2012

For years Microsoft fanboys have challenged me when I state flatly that Microsoft Windows workstations need wiped and reloaded from bare metal about annually if you want to keep the performance you had when you first finished loading everything.  Yet what is Microsoft including in Windows 8 but built-in Reset, Refresh, and hard drive imaging functionality.

Janitor with a gun

Wednesday, January 4th, 2012
