Smart phone is now becoming quite common and popular thing these days. Now every people want to purchase one or more smart phone or gadget for the different purpose. Actually it is like becoming fashion thing instead of a helping gadget. Different people buy these smart phones on the different basis. Actually this thing has become even more interesting as there are different types of people who purchase such smart phones with different thinking and choice. So now we having different group of purchasers who used to go for buy smart phones with different point of views. Let’s see about such group or types of people who used to purchase smart phone with different thinking.
People who go for Brands
I have notice this thing with many people. And this is not the new thing at any field. People always think famous branded thing as safer choice in compare of local and new brand things. So in this field also many people just used to purchase smart phones which is having big and famous brand. They put more trust on name/brand by ignoring other small and new companies totally. I have noticed that many people just go for branded phones without knowing phone’s specification and their own requirements.
Not only these, there is also group of people who just want to go for branded phones because they think that it is cool. They think that it is like high status to have strong branded phones. Here they are having no issue related to have safe purchase at all. They just think that it is high status thing to have big branded and costly phones. They care zero about phone specification and features. Well, I can only say that such people just purchase blindly without taking care of features of phone and they even not care about their own requirements.
Budget Buyers
Well, it is always good to go for budget buying. I mean one should understand their own budget before going for any kind of purchase. So yes in purchasing smart phone also many people go for budget smart phone where they just want to buy smart phone in the lowest cost. Well, this is not bad but it is not good either in some cases. I mean if you are having high requirement or even medium requirement and just to save money you are ignoring hardware and other specification of the phone then you will surely complain about your phone later on. Well, you also need to view about company you are purchasing. Here I am not saying to go for branded one but the company of your phone which you are buying is should be strong enough which should take care of your phone problems later on. I mean there is no meaning if you don’t get better customer service later on. So it is okay to go for new and less famous company but it should be strong enough to provide you backup.
In such group most of the people complains about less features and other problem like apps are not running on purchased phone. Well, that’s why I am saying to understand your requirement. If you will ignore specifications of the phone completely just to save money then you will be facing problems in the future for sure.
People follow other people
There is also big group of people who just used to follow other people. They buy particular smart phone because other have said them or other have purchased the same one. Well, I am not saying that it is wrong to listen about others experience. Well it is always good choice. But to follow other blindly is also not good. You should also do your own investigation about the same phone and check if it is fulfill your requirements too. It may possible that it is fulfilling the requirement of the person who have suggested to you but it might possible that it is not fulfilling yours.
Such buyers always end in mostly two cases. Either they will end selling that phone soon enough or they have no other choice and to continue with the same smart phone with not satisfaction at all till they buy new one.
Smart Buyers who check all the things
There are less people I know but there should be big group of such smart purchaser in our country. These kinds of people check everything. They are not that crazy fan behind brand thing and they understand their own requirement related to smart phone well. So that’s why they able to purchase smart phone with all features and other specification they required with less price and with good company too. As I said it is important to understand requirement before purchasing phone, if you understand it well then only thing require is to find better company which can give you phone in less budget and that company is having strong customer care service. Here you don’t need to follow those big high branded companies which just take more money from you because of its famous name.
These kinds of purchasers stay satisfied most of the time with their purchase. As they are investigation all things before purchasing, they get what they want. That’s the proper way I guess.
What kind of buyer you should be?
Hmm, well, after reading all above I don’t think I need to say you more. Definitely I would suggest you to be smart buyer who does all investigate about phone as per their requirement. Going for branded thing is safe, but spending more money than required just because of brand name is also not good. In fact it is like fooling yourself. Similarly going for less price phones by ignoring our own requirements is also bad thing. I mean in the end you will end by complaining about having less features in phone. Going for blind purchase by just following other is not good idea either. So it is the best option to be smart buyer and do all investigate about phone as per your requirements. So be smart and purchase well.
So this is it. I have explained about different buyers who have different thinking for buying smart phone. For me I check out all the things as per my requirement before purchasing phone, and I am not big fan of branded things either. So in which category you fall?
Downloading different files on our computer is not the new thing. People always love to download different stuffs like music, movies, videos, software, etc. on their computer or mobile phone. But this can become headache when downloading file is too big. This can surely irritate you in many ways. I mean it happens many times that downloading process get interrupts for whatever reason and our big downloads get stuck in middle of process. By this way we can lose our bandwidth without having results, I mean without having our file. So in short downloading big files is not an easy task especially when we are using slow internet connection.
For me I am using slow internet connection since long. I can use fast internet via broadband too but mostly because of my schedule I prefer portable internet more. And you know 3g charges are still too high. So I have to use 2G internet from my phone. But that doesn’t mean that I don’t go for downloads. I used to keep downloading all those big files around 500 to 700MB files without any major problems. Well, for that I use some tricks which surely help me to download those big files without any interruption and stop downloading problem. So let me share those tricks here with all of you. Well, honestly they aren’t anything like unique tricks, they all are simple things but not all people follow it for the same purpose. So it can be helpful for those who don’t know them or don’t use them for downloading big stuffs. So here they are.
Use night time for downloads: Night time is the best time for any kind of downloading purpose especially for those big files. In the night time there is less internet traffic load so that you will not face any kind of interruption in downloading those files. You may face downloading error in the morning, but in the night time there is less chance for facing the same. And also at the night you don’t have any kind of other work on your computer with internet, so by that way also you will not get any interruption. You can switch off your monitor screen after stating download so that you can save some power too. With slow internet connection too you can put your downloads in the night and it will be ready till you get in the morning. So you don’t need to waste your time for it. So this is it. Night time is the best time in many ways as I explained above. Try it.
Use downloading Manager: I already mentioned that people face error during downloading many times. So this can be really headache when you are downloading some big files. So for that I will suggest you to use some kind of Downloading Manager which will help you to pause and resume your downloads. This feature is surely important as even if downloads get stop at some level you can always resume them from the same level where they got stopped. This feature is available in many download managers. This feature is also available in some browser but they are not that effective as download manager. So I will advise you to go for some famous downloading manger using which you can easily manage downloads without any interruption. Using some download managers you can also achieve fastest possible internet speed. So it is another advantage of using download manager. So if you are not using it you can go for one. You can also use torrents downloads which also require special downloading manager. It is quite famous for downloading big files and using it you can also easily found any kind of big files like movies and videos within few minutes. In this download manager also you will get pause and resume option.
Download it in parts: I go for this procedure many times. Let me tell you it is not possible to do it for every download but this can be surely effective. Many times people download some kind of software, videos and movies. But you know many time you can also get the same files in parts. I mean suppose you are downloading some movie. But it is possible that some user have uploaded same movie in parts using winrar and winzip software. So it will be always helpful to you if you go for downloading those parts instead of whole movie together. Just download those parts whenever you are free and at the end using that software you can extract one whole file. So like this way you don’t need to give more time at one time for any kind of downloads. This method is also useful whenever you are uploading something on internet. Just use software like winrar and winzip to make parts of your file and one by one you can upload them whenever you get time. So downloading such small parts will be easier for you instead of those big files. So search on internet if there is this kind of download available for the same file which you are downloading. There are many sites which offers downloading big files in parts so that user can go for it easily even with slow internet connection. It is specially made for slow internet connection users.
Use mobile for downloads: Sometime you don’t want to open your computer or laptop for whole night. Well, I can understand that thing that sometimes it is not possible. Well, let me tell you this is best method that I use for my big downloads. I use my Android mobile phone. You can install browser like opera which offers downloading option on your mobile phone. If you having space on your SD card then you can download any kind of big file on your handset. Application like opera also have pause and resume options on mobile phone. So this can be really handy for anyone who used to put downloads. Just put those big downloads on your mobile and keep it on charging mode so that battery don’t drain outs. You can use those downloads at night so that no one interrupts it. In the morning your download will be ready. After that you can take that download in your computer via USB cable. So by this way you can also save electricity by not using computer. This is the best option I use and it works perfectly for my all downloads. You can try out it too if you having good handset which is having internet function and proper browser which I have mentioned.
So this is it. Here I have described all methods/tricks I use it for big downloads with my slow 2g internet connection. Well they are basics and nothing special. But still I haven’t seen any one using such method. Well, I am using all those above methods since many years and I guess I can tell myself an expert for downloading big files with slow internet connection. Ha ha, just a joke. But these are surely effective ways for downloading your big files using slow internet connection. If you are still using slow internet connection like me then you can try out above methods to make them more easily. Even you are using fast Internet you can try out them for making them even more comfortable. Have fun.
Apple fan was waiting for new iphone version since long. But for now Apple has introduced new version of their IOS mobile operating system. Yes, now we are having totally new IOS 7 which has really good changes which can give good competition to new android version. First of all this new version is no more compatible with iPhone 3gs which is able to run IOS 6 the last version of IOS. But now it look like iPhone 3gs will not get any further updates. So this is little disappointing for iPhone 3gs users. But iPhone 4, iPhone 4s and iPhone 5 can easily update this new version with the help of the iTunes. Now let’s see what changes users will get in this totally updated IOS version.
Changes made in IOS 7
New design with good looking icons: As per Apple, they have changed designed in this new operating system version. Well, if we look at their photos given by Apple at their website, it sounds true as we can see lots of changes in it. They have made few changes in their previous icons and made them looking more beautiful now. They have also changed the background wallpaper than the last IOS version. It is having good looking network icon on the top. In short they have made lots of minor changes in their design which is making this new IOS version surely cool. I am sure users will enjoy this new design.
Control Center: In this new IOS you will found Control Center option which is totally separated thing from the notification bar. You can access this control panel by swapping your finger up side on the screen including lock screen. In control center you will get all those toggle buttons of wifi, Bluetooth, Network, Airplane mode, Brightness, etc. using which you can access those things quickly, no need to go into settings and all that. This control center is also having few other tools like music controller using which you can control your music during play, you will also get few shortcuts for useful apps like torch, calculator, camera, etc. So it is more like Android notification bar where you get all those toggle buttons. But here it is given totally separate from the notification bar and also with more options. So I really like this change using which we can handle things on our phone more quickly. It is surely better and was missing in the last IOS version.
Notification Center: Now as I mentioned Apple have given Control Center to give those toggle buttons completely separate from the notification bar. Here they have given notification bar named notification center which you can access by swapping down on the screen including from lock screen. As name suggest this tool will only serve you notifications. You can get all notifications from this area. You can get all today’s notification and also previous notification you missed. So with this notification you will not miss any kind of notification from your phone. It will serve you notifications from all the applications at one place.
Multi Tasking: Multitasking was there in the previous IOS but now it is having more cool effect. Now pressing home button two times you will get big windows of the applications you have opened previously. So you can easily switch to any application by selecting it. You can get as many windows on this section and can select any of them by swiping and selecting. You can also remove or close any of this application by swiping that window up side from this area. This will remove/close that particular application from the list. Android is having very similar function too named with recent app. But now Apple IOS is having cool looking multi tasking option in compare of android.
Improved Camera UI: IOS 7 is having great camera UI in compare of any previous IOS version. Now user can select different camera mode by just swiping modes available at the bottom of camera app. This camera app is having different modes like simple camera, video camera, panorama, square, etc. User will also get still option at the left bottom side from where they can access the recent photo or video taken by the phone. So these different modes and options surely make this camera option on IOS 7 cool.
Photos app: Now IOS 7 is having new app called Photos using which user can easily and speedily access their taken photos. But this is not just ordinary photo viewing application. Apple have made really cool photo viewer using which user can easily maintain and search their old photos. This new Photos app is having smart grouping option like Year, collection and all using it user can find out their old photos easily. Just click on year option and your photos will be automatically organized year wise so that you can easily select the perfect group of photos as per your trip and occasion wise. So IOS 7 is surely having better photos viewing option than previous IOS versions.
File sharing using Air Drop: Finally now iPhone users can exchange files among their iDevices using Airdrop application. There is no NFC although used in this application but this application use wifi or Bluetooth to transfer file on another iPhone. You don’t need wifi network to use wifi option for transferring. Both iPhone should have this air drop app which is only available in IOS 7 for now. But there is still disappointment as an iPhone user still can’t exchange data and files on other company’s smart phones over Bluetooth or wifi. But at least we got this option which is surely making this IOS version better in compare of any.
New feature in App Store: With IOS 7 Apple has introduced new feature in the app-store. Now you will get option of ‘Apps near me’ which will provide you applications related to your current location. So you can easily find out applications which are more useful to you as per your area which can be really handy. They also have kids’ category in the app-store which will be useful to found apps related to kids.
So this is it. With these I have explained almost all new changes made in IOS 7. They are all good and now they surely make iPhone much better option than past. I like all these new changes and can’t wait to use them.
Can IOS 7 beat new Android version?
Now this is big question that with all those changes can IOS 7 beat latest version of android operating system. Well, it’s still too early to say about this thing. Both are totally different operating system. But one thing is that with all those new changes made in IOS 7 like multi tasking, control center, etc. iPhone with IOS 7 can challenge any android smart phone for sure. So for me yes IOS 7 is having all those capability to give hard competition and challenge to latest android version. Even Google is thinking about to launch their new Android version 5.0 Key Lime Pie. So it will be great to see what new things they have got to give it with new version of android.
Introduction:
When Windows 8 reached market, there were many promises on the cards. Due to high rate of success of its predecessor Windows 7, the anticipation and ambitions for a greater and simpler operating system were on the minds of various persons. The migration from Windows 7 to Windows 8 was cheaper and this lures many tech enthusiasts as well as a lay man, who wanted to use the latest operating system. Every alternative Windows operating system flopped, so few people waited for sometime to see and observe the reaction coming out from users. I must say my money is saved. I never upgrade Windows 7 to Windows 8, even though the upgrade is cheap. It is all about using a computer in an easy manner and not more than that. The hardware specification of Windows 8 is on the higher side of money. It is nearer to buy a Mac computer. Since this day, most of PC users are using Microsoft operating system only because it spreads into a vast array of computer peripherals. Generally, Microsoft operating systems work on minimum hardware specification. Windows 8 is an exception. It requires costly hardware to run. Why the sudden shift and change of strategy of Microsoft while releasing Windows 8? Microsoft is popular because its operating system adapts to simple hardware configuration. It is not like Mac computers, which require a high degree of hardware compatibility. What is wrong with Microsoft’s mind? Why it is ditching its loyal personal computer segments?
The alternative operating system jinx will be there, when we purchase a new laptop, loaded with Windows 8. Then, how can someone update the existing operating system attached to a personal computer? Should Microsoft decide which is best for us? The “Start button” first started with Windows 95. It was an instant success. People wanted this in Windows XP and its previous and advance operating systems. It is the psyche of personal computer users to have the start button on the left side of operating system. In Windows Vista, the word starts removed from there but the logo and the same functionality was present. It is the sheer habit of user to enter from the start button. Soon, Microsoft realized their mistake and brings back the word start in the start button with Windows 7. Surprisingly, in Windows 8 the word start was there but you would be presented with live tiles, a complete set of confusing marbles and from where you could feel that you were in for some of the most difficult puzzling situation. How to start, internet explorer from which tiles? Which button to be clicked to enable the setting and the other hardware options? One cannot understand the logic behind deleting the most prominent and sought after “Start” button. Why, there is the need to make a desktop operating system similar to mobile ones? Desktop and mobiles operating systems are two different platforms. The graphic user interface of both operating systems is different. Mobile users are a subset of PC user. A perfect waste of time for them.
The “Start” button of Windows is highly popular. Mac and Linux adopt different versions but install similar functionalities. Something needs to be understood by developers. They should not dictate what needs to be clicked and what needs not to be. It is the user experience that is making it more prominent and popular. One should not dictate how the user should be using the computer. It is all about giving intuition to people to help them better equipped with computer. The levelling off button of Windows 8 is surprisingly on the blurred side. This is making the situation worse for users, who are dealing with these operating systems for the first time. Windows 8 is more prone towards tablet and phablet (phone and tablet) users. Poor PC chips are caught between touch and mouse use. Personal computers have a longer life than smart phones and tablets. Recent study implicates that there would be two billion new personal computers this year compared to previous year. This shows that the users of personal computers are on the rise. We are still going to have laptops or desktops, even though we have smart phones. Laptops and desktops are for heavy duty professional works. Think about it. When someone writes for different content marketing sites, he has to sit for hours with personal computers or desktops. One cannot write a long article with a tablet or smart phones. The keys in these phones are so much sensitivity that one feels some sort of resistance while writing long drawn articles. Naturally, your fingers will feel pain while writing with tablet.
Epic flop of Windows 8:
Google sees the opportunity and for the first time, it enters into the laptop market, by introducing its modified version of Chrome operating system in original equipment manufacture (OEM) with HP. It is a decisive move from Google. It is a warning to leader in operating system segment of personal computer and laptop Microsoft. Google already established itself as leader in the mobile operating system in terms of an android. It is giving constant updates and the minimal hardware support and the graphical user interface has been absolutely brilliant. The latest Android operating system Jelly Bean presents the most touch wiz simple capacitate touch screen with superior end mobiles. HP has seen failures with Microsoft in bringing laptops and personal computers. It decides to jump over the fence and tie with Google to introduce their first flagship laptop with Google Chrome operating system. The difference between Google and Microsoft is that. Google can work with any hardware manufacturers and Microsoft has some limitations. In the mobile segment Google is sending Android operating system to most manufacturers and they are paying the loyalty to Google from time to time. You cannot purchase a new laptop or PC without a Windows 8. This can be termed as forceful marketing. People want to buy a Windows laptop or disc, but most of the times they are not successful. The distribution channels of selling DVDs of the operating system are too severe to be considered as secure. Last year, Microsoft’s own selling portal in India had seen how their website was hacked and credit card details of countless users have gone missing. This is a true case of how a company is forcing users to buy laptop or desktop in order to have the new version of Windows.
Think about such an absurd strategy when a company’s worth reached at least two billion a unique software platforms and subsequently force the same loyal followers to use another platform, which is completely unfamiliar to them. Microsoft is telling exactly about you in this, that, you have to change your software for better. Even if one has a personal computer without the touch interface, after installing Windows 8, it will force you to use it as virtual touch devices. In this manner, the resistive CRT screen of desktop will give you harsh times to browse through its graphical user interface. These days, in the market, you cannot purchase a laptop or desktop without Windows 8. The first hindrance you will be meeting after purchasing Windows 8 will be its “Metro UI”. On the other hand, Windows 7 gives stability and speed and the response time of operating system is brilliant with better virtualization and silly windows side bar removed the performance in terms of booting becomes fast with Windows 7. The market penetration of Windows 7 is 55% from data of W3C Schools.
History of Windows OS:
Windows 95 was most prevalent in 90s. It was the beginning of a fresh idea. It was appreciated by the masses. During that time, with DOS 16 bit computing used to limit everything. Ideas with Windows 95 were brilliant, but it took three more years for Microsoft to reach a perfect computing environment. Hardware incompatibility was the primary reason for limiting applications within Windows 95. The shift to the NTFS file system with Windows XP was the skilful move. At those times, many critics feel, it was not a nice idea to move from Windows 98 to Windows XP, only for NTFS file system. XP gives space to geeks to customize it to their taste. Keyboard short cuts and commands opened the space for more customization and room for improvement. The crazy success of Windows XP, added with an intuitive start menu, bundled with extra highlighted programs gives the user ample time to find their most precious programmers. Suddenly with the advent of DirectX 9.0c the final version of XP for gaming, new intuitive and interesting games waves into the world with plenty of success stories. Serious Sam, Need for Speed, Test Drives and the list go big with the success of gaming industry with Windows XP. It was the first version of Windows, which was competing with rival Linux in terms of customizations and other rooting.
Windows 98 saw the highest change in one operating system could attain. The ability to theme, USB support, active desktop, thumbnails and ability to support a huge number of drivers, gives the users a perfect destination for complete computing enhancements. It started functioning gaming support and multimedia playing inside your computer. Both these steps were a huge success and gain mass back up. There were numerous cases of Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) owing to hardware incompatibility. Windows 3.0 and Windows 3.0a for multimedia were Microsoft’s major commercial success. It was launched on May 22, 1990. It was rivalling Apple the then market leader and it has a new graphic user interface with support from Intel for multi tasking. Owing to absent of proper registry of application, the popularity of this operating system began to decline. The enthusiasm with consumers was so high that within the first two months over one million copies were sold.
The next line of the Microsoft operating system is Windows 95. It was trendy, but performance wise the rating is average. It was packed operating system delay responsive time. It was commercially sold well and due to success of its predecessor. Consumers wanted to upgrade to the next version of Windows. Many a time’s companies are blinded by the success of mobile operating systems and they try to emulate this in other forms of computing. They thought that with the advent of advancing forms of mobile operating system, they would see the death of personal computers. Not merely personal computers survived the primary onslaught of advance mobile computing, they offer brilliant long term performances in office or self office home office (SoHo). The widespread perception is that most of personal computers look same, but believe it with the advent of modern day personal computing the entire scenario of contemporary desktop has been revived. It gives the perfect scenario for companies like Microsoft to build a seamless innovative operating system with gesture motion to enhance user input experience. Microsoft can integrate kinect with its next version of Windows. Windows 8 reminds you, if you are with a non touch screen interface. Microsoft can free this syndrome by introducing its flagship Microsoft kinect, the gesture control mechanisms, in order to remove the frustration of touch screen irritant. Microsoft kinect is a futuristic form of technology, with it you can gesture control anything. You do not have to touch the screen to perform the action. Instead; you will have to wave your hand in front of the screen to send the input signal. Phones may have no use for it, though Samsung in its galaxy brands has been introducing some gesture controls like that of screen shot of the operating system by swapping your palm across mobile surface and so on. It is possible due to Samsung touch wizard interface and Google’s latest Android Jellybean Mobile operating system.
Ray of hope for revival:
Gesture control or Microsoft kinect can be a futuristic application exclusively for personal computers as with hands in motion; user can increase the sound of the device and also increase the font size, change of other applications and so on. With this addition, tied with old computers feature control can be possible. Microsoft should seriously research on this subject and introduce gesture control in its next operating system. It should remove touch functionality with Windows 8 immediately. Determining the best ergonomics design for a personal computer is a matter of scientific inventions. The cumulative ergonomics design of graphical user interface of any operating system depends upon usability aspects, performance weightings, designs and features of a personal computer. You will do regular updates of drivers and applications for speedy performance of response time within your operating system. Needless to say, performance will be indispensable for every personal computer. The extraordinary quality display of operating system does not mean that it is compact, light and portable. People need a machine for their daily computing means.
According to Adrian Kingsley-Hughes of Forbes, ” I hate Windows 8. Hate it with a passion. A passion is as hot as a thousand suns. ” This is to say, when a user loyal to Windows operating system is advocating itself not to use the latest version of Windows. When loyal users opined different opinions from that of brand, then these are warning signs for Microsoft. The freshness introduced with Windows 95 interfaces, till to date, I was running the preview versions of Microsoft. It felt better than Windows 7 then. After the introduction of tiles views with its leaked beta, it was evident that Microsoft was introducing an operating system that was entirely different from the set up image we were dealing with so far. Microsoft introduced touch screen interface with Windows 8. It is now as bad idea. It is futuristic. But forcing users to enable touch screen with normal computer showing inefficient touch screen on older monitors, is what troubles most users. According to Jakob Nielsen, expert in human computer interaction, “Windows 8 is a monster that terrorizes poor office workers and strangles their productivity.” Microsoft can introduce service packs that can customize human computer interaction to a comfortable level. Microsoft did this for Windows XP, when it introduced a revamped control panel through service pack 2. It should give the user the option to disable touch wizards. User can properly configure according to their choices. Microsoft took a big risk with the introduction of Windows 8. It is a transitional as well as transformational operating-system. Microsoft had tried to bridge the gap between desktop and smart-phone. Microsoft should give the user to choice between desktop and Metro graphical user interface in Windows 8. Sometimes, it is justifying in saying that live tiles within Windows 8 interfaces are borrowed from Windows 1.
The hallmark of Windows is the versatility with hardware. Apple is famous for hardware restrictions. Windows seems to be going Apple way with Windows 8. Change is not always the difference. Microsoft should learn from it. Simple no brainy stuff. For people who are workaholic, this operating system seems to be garbage. With current stats showing the sells figure of Windows 8 is worse than the Vista operating system. Windows 7 for 45% of sales figure stays at the top. It is followed by Windows XP with 38% sells figure. Microsoft guarantees with Windows 8.1 (blue) they will address some of the concerns shouted by loyal users. Mary Meeker, the well-regarded analyst and venture capitalist, pointed out in her May 2013 Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers' 2013 Internet Trends reports, “Windows is on the decline no matter how measure it. Apple iOS and android now have the lion's share of computing devices, including PCs, smart phones and tablets, with a 65-percent share over Windows' 35-percent.” Microsoft attempts to jump into two boats of desktop and mobile operating system and in the end it stayed in the middle of nothing. If we combine both desktop and mobile operating system market, the market leader is Apple 60% and followed by Android from Google 25%. Some would point out those comparing desktop and mobile operating systems like comparing city and villages. It is not true. Day by day, mobiles are upgrading itself with robust hardware and wide screen and almost capable of running application like software on Windows personal computers. Think about there is no “Start button” and “Start screen” with Windows 8 and you have to follow 15 steps to restart or shut down your computer.
Conclusion:
I am not giving up. I have used Windows since Windows 95. There was a time when Windows XP seemed to all as insecure. Then, Windows XP SP2 update and that plugged most of security vulnerabilities. I have been using it since my childhood and I felt that the user had to modify his habit according to what Windows wants. In the past four years, tablets users have increased exponentially. It does not evolve by killing desktop personal computers. It becomes the supplement users to add mobility to their connectivity towards the simulated world (Internet). With the advent of Windows 8, there is no significant change in the personal computer market. It lacked the excitement of touch interface found in tablets. I would rather prefer not the next version of Windows, but Microsoft should strengthen the market of Windows 7 and support it for more years. It seems that it is the best operating system from Microsoft after Windows XP. Windows 8 should go further and build the kinect gestures so that personal computer users should feel comfortable in suing gesture controls than touch enabled Windows 8 devices. Windows 8 leaves many users confused. It is a rejection of brand image Microsoft has done from the past in building a loyal community of Windows users. The user interface of Windows 8 is a significant departure from the previous version of Windows since 1995. Windows 8 gives the chance to hardware makers to be creative and also it wants users to forget the entire Windows version that has been there for 17 years. It is a completely different operating system. Kernel codes are written from the beginning. Some say that Windows 7 is the unqualified version of Windows 95. Windows is a completely different operating system synchronized with imaginative ideas. If kinect gesture technology introduced through a service pack, Microsoft can regain lost grounds from Apple in the personal computer market.
According to Steven Sinofsky (MSDN), “The power of personalization is something we all love about PCs, but sometimes there is good reason to want to rollback to an earlier state.” It is a perfect statement, why Windows 8 users want to rollback to Windows 7? Windows 8 seems to be a poor marketing and bad timing product. As an experience personal computer user, I reserve my opinion on software. Microsoft is losing its ground.
