Windows 8.1 Launched With Smart Button

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.
