Although it has not been commercially available until today, early releases of the new operating system have received a glowing reception from software developers, hardware manufacturers and reviewers. They have been impressed by its superior speed and performance, improved layout of taskbars for accessing favourite applications and features such as the HomeGroup that serves to simplify the sharing of files, photos and hardware devices across a home network.
