Rodows 8 is a version of Microblox Rodows released in 2012. The OS was designed to feature a more tablet-friendly system, introducing the "Metro" user interface. It also introduced more features like the Microblox Store.
The OS received mixed to negative reviews and was criticized specifically for the removal of the Start button. A successor, Rodows 8.1, was released the year after, addressing most criticisms Rodows 8 received. It has been unsupported by Microblox since January 2016.
