When microsoft is going to launch windows 8 in india?? What is the price of Windows 8 In India
Microsoft today launched its new Operating System Windows 8, in India(delhi), about three and a half hours before its launch in the US.
Windows 8 aims to be fast, fluid and fun is a delectable mishmash of multitasking capabilities with a crisp and intuitive user interface and beautiful clusters of groups of applications — which can all be accessed simultaneously.
In a changing world, where the line between work and life blur and each one uses multiple devices, Windows 8 aims to integrate all those device functions into one.
“Technology has enabled us to be able to use and carry multiple devices. But we at Microsoft wanted to build a platform through which a single device can be used for creation and consumption,” said Bhaskar Pramanik, Chairman, Microsoft India, as he introduced the company’s new operating system.
Windows 8 has managed that to some extent.
At first look, Windows 8 looks rich, clean and invitingly playful. Its interface is a cluster of applications in use, all split into little rectangular tiles. Each tile can be dragged around and its positioning changed, as can each cluster of many tiles. Each cluster can also be customised to one’s tastes — by adding or subtracting individual tiles in the cluster.
The interesting part about the tiles is that they are live – which means, every application is constantly updating in the background even if it is not being actively used.
“The best part about the tiles is that it is live,” said Roshan Abbas, TV host and self confessed gadget freak who has been using the OS for a month now. “This helps you save time on loading each app individually and makes things more efficient. I’m definitely not missing the hourglass” Abbas said.
Old Windows, who have at least a Windows XP or a Windows 7 PC, can also upgrade to Windows 8. Those who bought a PC between June 2 last year and January 31 this year can upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 8 for just Rs. 699. Others can update their OS via an electronic software download which will cost Rs. 1,999.
And, for all those people missing their old Windows interface and homescreen, just a click of the Windows key on the new Windows 8 enabled devices, will transport one back to the old interface – keeping with its approach to being ‘Everything at once’ more..
