Windows 8 are the main differences
In Depth: 8 ways Windows 8 improves on Windows 7
Windows 8 has been shown to developers to build Microsoft conference – and that version is not complete, there are some key differences that can pull its popular predecessor.

Windows 7 was a great success for Microsoft, following the release of Windows Vista and remind people that the Redmond giant is not ready to hang your code at the moment.

Windows 8 and will now try to take advantage of this and demonstrate that Windows can work with any TV tablets, and is still dominated by laptops and desktops.

Hands on: Windows 8 comments

Here are eight differences that brings Windows 8

Windows 8 – Keyboard

1. Easy Touch

Obviously, the most obvious difference between Windows 8 and its predecessor is the user interface.

Compatible with Windows 7 touch, but it was clear that a touch interface truly need to move, and the underground (the user interface of Windows Phone) is what brings Windows 8.

This means that the tiles instead of tedious menus and much faster to get the programs you want, and a marked improvement in the onscreen keyboard and handwriting recognition.

Start tiles

2. Start Menu replacement

Replacing the familiar Start menu is a welcome screen that allows the same line of tiles and the data that the home screen of Windows Mobile 7, but also allows greater flexibility for the user.

When you open an application that needs a desk, you still get the garbage familiar taskbar, but on the Start menu button takes you back to the start screen.

3. Improved multi-monitor support

Microsoft has decided that more of us across multiple monitors on your PC, you need to review their management office.

So you can start with the monitor screen and the desktop to another, or want to be on the taskbar on both screens with different icons on both sides.

You can even, shock and horror, set a different background on each screen, if you have multiple monitors.

Charms, ARM, support and showcases

4. Charms

On arrival keys for Windows 8 is what Microsoft calls charms to the characteristics of research and exchange, as well as devices and parameters.

These pendants are a number of applications, devices and settings can be smeared on the right of the screen.

The charm of the parameters is the application context you use, and in particular the volume, brightness, etc. It also provides restart, and power options.

Charmed I’m sure

The charms of the investigation and the devices are quite explicit, but the charm is interesting.

This offers the ability to easily share content, links, or something else with your contacts from any application that supports Metro, Facebook and Twitter are apparently support already exists.

5. Search

With the Start menu disappeared, research is available not only by the charm of research but also through the home screen – just start typing and the results on screen are programs and files.

Search

You can also choose the applications that you can look – Internet Explorer to navigate through the example of Bing.

Search

6. Support arm

Until now, only Windows is called x86 PC – built on the traditional home computer – but that all changed with Windows 8, which will support devices running on the ARM infrastructure.

British ARM chip designs are used more and more devices, and Microsoft is ready to make Windows available as widely as possible.

Lock

7. Store Windows

Although not part of the generation must, Microsoft Windows Store is an integral part of Windows desktop applications, and 8 provides the ecosystem of developers.

There are no news about what to cut sales of Microsoft App takes, but the company has announced that it will allow in-app purchasing.

Coming soon

8. Cloud Integration

Although Microsoft can not agree with Apple CEO Steve Jobs that we are in a post-PC, it is clear they are willing to make the cloud core integration for Windows 8

This means the ability to synchronize data to a synchronization settings between computers SkyDrive (including browsing history in IE, for example) and photos are shared among multiple PCs.

Windows 8 comes

Windows 8 Microsoft to come, I am very excited by its potential on the shelves.

I will be at the conference of Microsoft building next week. I’m really happy to see Windows 8, because you must have the opportunity to play with him on a shelf drool worthy specifications. Yes, Microsoft has the opportunity to be relevant and fresh again.

The rumor mill suggests Samsung will provide participants with a quad-core tablet running Windows With eight Keeping up with the world of Google, this gift to be extremely valuable to developers, as will be the first of many tablets with Windows a large multi-touch interface, and its important that these ca-makers know what works and will not be with this form factor. Yes, I will get one (do not be jealous).

Apple iPad was an amazing phenomenon in the last two years, but it is important to keep things in perspective: Apple 25 million or if the sale of blades compressed compared to the hundreds of millions of PCs sold each year. But you hear the computer manufacturers Running Scared – HP and Acer have recently seen the effect compressed eat in their bottom line.

8 Windows, Microsoft is trying to create the ultimate IT solution: a platform that is comfortable in a business environment, with experience of traditional desktop and tablet multitouch experience in popularity. Based on his blog 8, Windows, Microsoft goes through great lengths to ensure that we know is not to downplay or touch or tablets.

This is a Herculean task indeed, because it tries to be everything to everyone, usually leading to a solution, which will remain in every aspect. Apple iPad has restrictions and limitations of power and transformation, but consumers seem to accept that as a great interface and great battery life. Will Microsoft or other software companies bridge the gap between power and simplicity?

I am happy that Microsoft is trying to tablet and quad-core you can receive is also the first time I was excited a tablet from the iPhone 2 as it is actually trying to be something new. Apparently, Microsoft is still trying to overcome major problems, have a hardware and a murderer in turn, be cool.
