When asked why Microsoft brought the iPad version of its core Office apps to market before they launched the Windows variant, CEO of Microsoft, Satya Nadella, said that the reason was quite simple: Market share.

However, when it comes to Windows 8, the minimum RAM required becomes 1 GB and the processor speed 1 GHz. One of the techniques by which you could find out if your curre...
