iPad 4 vs Windows 8 Intel Atom Tablets Comparison Smackdown
The Missing Windows 8 Instructional Video - Who moved my Windows 8 Cheese?
(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, March 22, 2013 ) Chelmsford, UK -- Featuring one of the most radical redesigns in its history, the tile-based interface of Windows 8 is a complete rethinking of the user-computer interaction, with an impact similar to that when Apple introduced the iPhone and made the pass from clunky interfaces to sleek and responsive devices. Primarily built for entertainment rather than for work, Windows 8 has great new features, but it also has its share of challenges and annoyances.
“For long-time users of Microsoft operating system, everything is different”, says David Lee from Cyan Management, an established IT support firm in Chelmsford offering IT and remote tech support for Windows and Mac computers. “Behind the polished, tile-based interface, Microsoft’s innovative operating system brings forth a series of challenges that could make the learning curve very difficult for end users. Some of its problems are nit-picks, while others require a high level of technical expertise, challenging the experience and knowledge of long-time Windows users.”
Some of the most pressing Windows 8 challenges mentioned by Cyan Management include the lock screen function, necessary on a tablet but superfluous on PCs, the live-tiled screen and missing Start button, lack of POP email support, no DVD playback support in Windows 8’s Media Player, as well as several resolution and readability issues make it challenging, if not downright difficult for end users to manage the new operating system.
“The new start screen isn’t all that complicated, but if users feel more comfortable with the traditional Start menu, it’s really easy to have it back”, continues representative for Cyan Management. “Our favourite replacement is Start8, as it allows customization and fits well with Windows 8’s looks and functionality.” For those missing the DVD playback support and on the lookout for a quick solution to allow them to play DVDs in regular desktop programs, Cyan Management recommends installing free players like VLC that will play DVDs for free, rather than wasting money on add-ons for DVD support.
Cyan Management representative believes Windows 8 could turn out to be highly valuable for those who travel a lot and are constantly using their Windows 8 devices not only for work, but also for personal use. Windows 8 could easily be used on a business laptop or a notebook while at work, and as a tablet for instant messaging, games, movies, music and any other type of entertainment that would otherwise require a separate device.
