Windows 8 Pro
Just before the sale! Three points that I want to know about "Windows 8"
(First Point)
General sales of the client OS "Windows 8" the latest Microsoft will start on October 26. At this time that appear all together walk through and overview of the product package, also has information on machine Windows 8 pre-installed with their hardware vendors will release, on point three basic You Need to Know About Windows 8 again, let me summarize.
Part 1 "edition of Windows 8 for individuals (one) and two"
Edition is provided with the "Windows 8" Windows 8 is two to "Windows 8 Pro". Consumer former, the latter is a business-friendly positioned as "Pro" edition is the equivalent of more than "Professional" in Windows 7. Function is primarily for business, only available in "Pro" Hyper-V, such as client virtualization allows you to join the domain, and "BitLocker", drive encryption. (It should be noted that, although there is also a volume license edition version that can not be purchased as a single unit of "Windows 8 Enterprise", in this article it covers only those available in retail stores)
Notes version of "Windows RT"
And, as an 8-Series edition called Windows is "Windows RT" there is another. Windows RT is what once was called "Windows on ARM (WoA)" and has become the Edition for ARM processor as that of the old ones. Edition is for the terminal to be installed such as a tablet, the main ARM processor, offering the only pre-installed, but is not sold as a single package.
In "Windows RT" this, that should be noted is that it can not use the user to install, I was using up to Windows 7, the Windows application of traditional so-called (Windows applications for x86/x64) it. In Windows RT, which is standard with a version of RT (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote) of Microsoft Office 2013, application vendors are pre-installed, but can also be used for other, use the user to install in addition to these You can, it can be downloaded from the Windows Store will be the only "Windows 8 app store."
"Surface" tablet that Microsoft has announced the beginning (pending launch in Japan at the moment) are available in models with Windows RT tablet hardware vendors will release. In these models, there are advantages and driven for a long time by utilizing the characteristics of the ARM processor, the size of the hardware itself and can, on the other hand, can not be used to take over the applications that have been available in Windows previous .
Transfer is "Windows 8 Pro" or "Windows 8" version up or if required, from the previous Windows 7. Remember the point there is no need to take over the application of 7 and earlier, putting also an option "hard with Windows RT" If you're considering such widening buying as subfeatures new or that's possible.
(Second Point)
"Modern UI is optimized for touch operation" plays a key for the success of Windows 8 is ......
"Modern UI" new user interface that will be deployed in full-screen immediately after login have Windows 8 family is strongly characterized, it is ("Metro UI" formerly known as).
The new UI lined (icon so-called), and at the same time acts as a launcher for calling (Windows legacy applications) desktop apps and Windows 8 store apps and other tablets, large tile that is optimized for touch screen devices, it is also possible to have such a display (such as the number of unread e-mail and news headlines New) up-to-date information on the application side if the tile itself is supported, the function of the icon more than ever.
Modern UI This also serves as a software platform. By providing the software market called "Windows Store" on this platform, Microsoft is we are aiming to build a new ecosystem that involved through the Windows 8 store apps that run on it, and the developers and users. In the "App Store" Apple is going to continue to expand in earnest even Microsoft, the efforts of the App Store has been carried out in "Google Play" Google is. I can tell how much rich in terms of both quality and quantity, Windows software that is distributed in this store is acceptable to the user, and is responsible for the key to the success of Windows 8.
If we consider mainly touch, Modern UI as the user interface, it is finished in the standard ones that do not pale even compared to smartphones and tablets in recent years. Such as soft keyboards for scaling or rotating, character input with the execution of the action by tapping, scrolling with swipe, two fingers, a touch device, for many operations that have become familiar anymore, Windows can be used in the same way with a lot of app store.
In the block called "Charm" appear, the operation of a system-wide move to the menu and search, and shut down, but it is "app" command menu appears, each swipe from the bottom or top of the screen by swiping from the right edge of the screen further the unique operation which can now store the Windows application, once used, it will be able to use a common operation in any application.
Traditional Windows desktop style also available
I can call by tapping the tile that says "desktop" Windows desktop is traditional. Also, if you put on the Modern UI as a tile on the icon on the desktop application, you can at the same time to start moving to the desktop and apps by tapping it. How to deal with this desktop, remains substantially the same as a conventional Windows. However, from the desktop of Windows 8 was a well-known since the days of Windows 95 "Start" menu, but it has disappeared, which was intended to be a substitute for the Start menu earlier, the "screen menu of Modern UI" What a design.
The desktop of course, also on the Modern UI, shortcuts for basic mouse and key in traditional Windows is now available. As thoughts that have been used from the version Developer Preview, I feel that although getting used slightly necessary, even in the desktop PC and mobile PC that does not have a touch device, UI's new Windows 8 is not something difficult to use so much.
Anyway, if a user named "not likely to get used to the discomfort", by volunteers can also make use actively (such as ...... display the quick access menu, "Win + X" move to desktop with "Win + D") shortcut key are still using the room (which has been developed or to skip the Modern UI, or to revive the Start menu on the taskbar) of free utility software variety has been developed.
(Third Point)
In Windows 8, have been made available ID and password of "Microsoft account" as the login account of OS. Microsoft account is intended for the use of "Windows Live" is a group of online services of the company.
Of course, as the Windows of the past, it can also set a password and ID that can be used only in the device, by using the Microsoft account as a login account, and are equipped as standard Windows Store app "Sign-on is done at the same time, such as mail "" Calendar "" SkyDrive "" Photo ". In addition, software and download from the Windows Store, as well as accounting treatment of paid apps that you purchase is carried out in association with the Microsoft account. It is also possible that if in addition, we use more than one Windows 8 devices, and synchronize settings, etc. Modern UI menu app store and download each situation.
Including those provided by Microsoft, Live Mail, Gmail, Facebook, Flickr, Twitter, the store app is equipped with standard mail and calendar, Photo, People and (address book), such as LinkedIn online services (such as various aggregates that display the information that is managed by) are enabled. Some of these features had been incorporated even "Windows Phone" The forerunner to Windows 8. By Microsoft account and login account, the impression that barriers between Windows clients and a variety of online services has been widely rid.
Should you upgrade to Windows 8
Currently, one of the interest of many Windows users, that it would be "What should I upgrade to Windows 8, the Windows 7 (Vista, XP) or you are using now."
The answer is, it does not change significantly in the case of Windows upgrades so far basically. In other words, I will be that "applications and peripherals that are currently available are compatible with Windows 8 could check, worth the challenge is" called. In fact, he feels the tablet PC that have been used on Windows 7, I have been trying so far to install the preview version, at a level that can be felt, for the treatment or sleep startup, shutdown, and faster than before, especially I am practical and, after the product release version, whether it is not also good to use it everyday if this.
After October 26 will be a lot of hardware vendors, software vendors, we will update the status of the current product 8 Windows compatible. For what you need in your environment, especially we should have to check before the upgrade, the information provided by the vendor. In addition, there are (Upgrade Advisor) function to check the compatibility with hardware and software installation when you upgrade in Windows 8, are currently available. One way would be to check that I use (with expiration date for both) Release Preview and evaluation version that is provided by Microsoft, whether migration is possible.
Microsoft Windows 7 is the same as the hardware specs that Windows 8 will work. Therefore, if the environment is currently running Windows 7, basically, it has to be done without problems update to Windows 8. Even in a test environment of the authors and the OS itself can be updated without a problem, most of the apps you use regularly but can be used in desktop, (proprietary hardware vendors such as utilities), or some software hardware (Windows Media Digital TV tuner only) Center, could not be used as it is. It is not confined to upgrade to Windows 8, the latest patch application, the latest drivers, check the latest BIOS, I want to make you go again.
However, if you want to enjoy the full benefits of the new UI is the greatest feature of Windows 8, we'll should consider giving priority to the introduction of new hardware that is designed for Windows 8. With the release of Windows 8, the hardware vendors, each Windows machine so far has been actively introducing variations Not many tablet, convertible tablet, the touch panel display.
Windows 8, the challenge that while maintaining compatibility with Windows so far, to accelerate the development of new devices these, add a function in the form of compromise heavily on the trend of the use of digital devices and the Internet by users in recent years It is also a product ambitious. The perspective in addition to the terms of inheritance of assets, such as software and peripherals that have been invested in Windows so far, the way people relate to digital devices, scenes and use of their devices in the future is how come that you will change I think while taking into account, and want to consider purchasing a policy or device upgrade.
