NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- The PC needs saving. With Windows 8, Microsoft believes it has the magic cure.It just might. I've been testing a consumer preview version of Windows 8 for the past week, and it's unlike anything I've ever seen in a PC operating system.The stunning "Metro" interface just begs you to touch and interact with it.

Though some 32-bit application still cannot run on 64-bit OS, because they might contain 16-bit code.32-bit system won't have compatibility for 64-bit application.
