Microsoft is
bating Windows 8 as most fabulous designed and featured windows ever. It has no
doubt many new features and everyone out there are now aware of the features of
it like metro style start menu, mobile device support and all.
Still there are
many untold facts that Microsoft has not rolled out. Well Windows 8 is
releasing on 26 October 2012 and its really going to change your desktop a lot.
Here i was
able to compile some of the new details of Windows 8 and here it is.
1. Windows Media centre, Pay-to-Play
One of the
rocking features that i liked in windows 7 was Media centre, media centre is
one stop centre for all our media and their organisation as well as home
theatre experience. It also let us record TV shows, and many more. But you will
not able to find it as the part of Windows 8! Yes, Microsoft has announced that
this will be paid for the user. User have to first purchase the Windows 8 media
centre additionally or have to buy the Windows 8 Pro Pack to avail the windows
Media center.
2. Dolby Support
Dolby digital
support lets you experience the 3D and crystal clear sound on your computer.
Microsoft has took this feature from Dolby digital lab and integrated it in
Windows 8. That means you will be able to enjoy a complete home theatre on your
PC with 5.1 Surround sound and complete utilisation of Blue Ray Technology.
Both Windows 8 x86 and x64 bit version will support this feature.
3. No DVD Playback
Yeah it’s
great to include the Dolby digital technology in Windows 8 but Microsoft believes
that most of the media now a days are from online sources not actually DVDs.
They said YouTube, Hulu are the main source of media now a days to all user.
Thus this doesn’t worth to include the codes for DVD playback support on your new
windows 8. However if you want to play DVD on media player you can download
Additional codec pack for Windows 8 that will add this feature to your PC.
4. SkyDrive included
Though
Windows 8 not only took the features like said above but also given many
features like one is here. All the windows 8 Devices like phone, tablets, PC
along with all the future version of Windows and their software like Office365,
user will be able to connect to skydrive to make their file online and every
user will be connected to cloud. Coming era is of Cloud and Microsoft has
included the same idea for the entire user and assumed it as the backbone of
the mobility. User will be able to access all their important data and services
regardless which device they are using.
5. Nook e-Reader
With $ 300
million investment of Microsoft in new Barnes & Noble digital, they finally
agreed to code a e-reader for the Windows 8. This will allow windows 8 tables
user to access BarnesandNoble.com and access over 1 million titles online which
include Netfix movies, TV shows and other content.
6. Faimly safty
Microsoft
first goal is the family safety. New parental control in Windows 8 will allow
parents to control and monitor the content and information they are heading and
passing with. They will be able to filter the content sites and data for their
children. Previously it was the as the ad-one on Windows live essential but now
this will be inbuilt in windows 8.
7. Death of Windows live
Previously
Windows live essential was able to use the multiple account multiple brand
names and content was divided in windows Live Mail, cloud account was windows
mesh and all. To avoid such confusion and make the one name, Windows 8 has
changed all these to persona. Windows live mail will now be just Mail. Only
Microsoft account will be one for authentication, all the storage will be in
skydrive, contacts will be in People etc.
8. Windows 8 release preview
Finally
Microsoft has given some chance to developer and released some new names in pre
released. Windows 8 Consumer preview and Windows 8 Developer preview. For both
the audience and say user, that can test as well as get introduce to the new
future and get closer to the Microsoft.
The finally
and one single version of OS will be realised on October 26, 2012 exactly after
3 year of Windows 7,
