As a solutions to all
the feedback's Microsoft launched their Windows 8.1 update.
The most helpful update
is the coming back of start button in Windows 8.1.It can also be booted using a
common desktop interface.
At present, the market
shares of personal computers is decreasing and smart phones and tablets now
hold the market. So it can be the main reason why Microsoft thought of an
update now.
To avoid the difference
between a touch screen computer and older computer device, Microsoft launched
windows 8.
Windows 8 has tile
interface which helps to move applications by just taping or swiping. The new
interface can be used easily in both touch screen and desktop computers. But
many users felt bad on Windows 8 square menu interface.
Windows 8 was unable to
hold their position in the fast growing tablet field. Before there was none to
compete against Windows pc operating system. At present its just the opposite
in tablet field. Apple iOS and Google Android already hold first and second
position in tablets before Windows 8.
Let’s have a look at
some of the specifications of the Windows 8.1 update-
- Start Button-If one tap on start button, tiled
interface appears. If tapped start button for a few seconds, system
control menu appears.
- Desktop mode-This mode helps to avoid tiled interface
of Windows 8.
- Keyboard shortcuts-Without using the onscreen keyboard,
it helps to compose letters and numbers.
- Gesture control-To access some apps there is no need in
touching the screen. Movement of hands helps to access these apps. These
apps are useful while cooking.
- Tile sizing-The square boxes present on the screen can
be categorized into 4 different sizes.
- Web Browsing-Different webpages could be seen on the
screen at the same time.
- Multi-tasking-Multi tasking gives better support to
Windows 8.1.
At present those who use
Windows 8, can update to Windows 8.1 for free. But if you have to move from
Windows 7 to Windows 8.1, you have to pay.
Its a year after Windows
8, Microsoft planned for their newer Windows 8.1 update.
