<ol>
<li><span style="background-color: #00ff00;">PROs</span> - "Love it or hate it, Windows 8 is ushering in a new era of cloud-connected Microsoft services, a unified user interface, and more-robust social media interaction. Younger users may find Windows 8 more attractive than some old-school computer users will. If you&rsquo;re a mobile user who needs easy access to the complete Microsoft ecosystem, including SkyDrive, Windows 8 is definitely a good fit. If your needs lie somewhere between those two extremes(desktop &amp; mobile), give Windows 8 a close look; the cost is low,"</li>
<li><span style="background-color: #c0c0c0;">CONs -</span> "Windows 8 isn&rsquo;t for everyone. If you&rsquo;re mostly a desktop PC user comfortable with Windows 7, upgrading to Windows 8 is probably not worthwhile.</li>
