Tech Gets Easy

The wait finally gets over. Microsoft is ready with its biggest ever gamble. The WINDOWS 8.



With the large industrial patch on windows 7 and STILL on windows XP, the release of the OPERATING SYSTEM was quite crucial for the OS giants MICROSOFT. So, they are up with the official release (after a long 1 year testing versions) on OCTOBER 26th 2012. But shifting over a touch oriented OS for the enterprises can be quite devastating because its a completely new interface. But with a quite a bit hands on to windows 8 made us to get through some of its important advantages over other version of windows:

1. PRICE: The first and the foremost is the price which MICROSOFT is offering. The officially complete version is available at an amazing price of just RS. 1999 in India ($39.9). Further if you have purchased your Genuine Windows 7 PC after June 2012 you can upgrade to windows 8 for just RS. 699. The price is far far much less are compared to the previous releases of Windows.
2. The Intuitive touch METRO interface: This was perphaps the main point where Microsoft gambled. The first thing where you would notice a change in your PC experience. Start Menu bunched up with beautifully responding tilesThe touch interface according to us is quite interesting and responsive with equal and optimized support for mouse and keyboard.
3. Cloud Connected OS: Every app in windows 8 is cloud connected. Social Hubs, cloud storage( including skydrive ) etc. all remains absolutely cloud connected.
4. New APP Store: APPS are the heart of windows 8. Like the i-phone or android apps, Microsoft has setup its STORE which lets you download numerous apps with loads of features. The best thing about apps is that they are all available in the new METRO interface.
5. INTERNET EXPLORER 10: Another awaited feature of the new OS is IE 10. Perhaps the fastest of all browsers (Tested better than chrome and firefox by many tech experts). Further A report by THINKDIGIT on IE 10 proved that it blocked about 90% of unsecured pages  while chrome could do only 30% of those. Thus security is also not compromised at the expense of speed.
6. No registry bloatation with APPS: The worst issue of a WINDOWS OS was that it degraded with time. The reason for this was the fact that when we install some softwares on an OS it creates its registry entries and when we uninstall it those registry entries do not get removed. Thus registry bloatation occurs which causes windows to degrade with time. THIS IS NOT THE CASE WITH WINDOWS 8 APPS. The apps are always removable with the WINDOWS STORE. Thus registry never gets sentinized by apps. But still all the daily needed sotwares are not available as apps and will take some time to be available as apps.

With this we end up. Hope you like the post and would want to upgrade to the new OS.
