Re: The evolution of Windows from its beginnings to date

ARM is working with Microsoft to tune the Windows OS to work on processors based on ARM's 64-bit architecture. Microsoft is going away from intel and going to adopt the ARM, a british company which is really a good news for business. The first 64-bit ARM will be in the market by 2014.

Windows is a OS which has changed a lot in it's history.
That's why it is the leading OS.
Windows allways bring with new features but I have to say that windows 8 is only good for tablets.
On desktops it won't work well or people will have some problems with handling it.
All in all I have to say that windows 7 is the best version of windows wich they have brung out.
It is safe fast ... ( I liked windows 98 also very much )

Re: The evolution of Windows from its beginnings to date

Early adopters are saying Windows 8 is hard to get used to it does not have the familiarity of the previous incarnations of Windows.

Especially in the desktop market people have found that productivity has dropped because of the learning curve, any businesses thinking of migrating to Windows 8 will have to retrain staff.

Re: The evolution of Windows from its beginnings to date

They usually are very conservative, both for the need of training and for the presence of specific applications...we're still using XP...

Re: The evolution of Windows from its beginnings to date

I've had also heard from some users of windows8 that they find it a bit strange in use. It gives a bit more supports but is it worth the price for update?
You hace to decide it for your own.

Re: The evolution of Windows from its beginnings to date

I can't see any businesses are going to upgrade to windows 8. Windows 8 transforms a decent looking computer to a teenageer's computer. It splashes it with colour and modern tiles. I have seen businesses recently upgrading to Windows 7 from XP. It will take a good few years for Windows 8 to be used across every platform.
