When any innovation comes from Microsoft, everyone is waiting to know if it is something more or less useful or a big fudge. The appearance of Windows 8 intended to give a modern image, presenting an interface (METRO) similar to the Android operating systems to manage with touch screen, like we would on a tablet or mobile.
Among the many features offered are the Windows 8 apps you can read your email, watch news, see pictures, feeds of blogs we read and many other things. Except that many people do not just become accustomed and returns to the desktop of life (especially if you do not have a touch screen ), you might wonder if it's worth happen to Windows 8. I do not want liar me much with technical details, So I'll give you some brushstrokes.
Windows 8: Features
Windows 8 have some features that make it flashy, mainly for domestic use, but also if you are "very now" and feel comfortable with this type of interface . Otherwise, if you are someone who handled well with commands desktop, Windows 8 also lets you do it this way, as many people do you see problems of usability with the mouse (it unintuitive and hard to find things) .
As it regards RAM , the hardware requirements are 1 GB (as in Windows Vista), but consumes less than this (280 MB compared to 500 MB you removed it) and is somewhat similar to Windows 7 although somewhat improved. In that sense it is always advisable to have more RAM than the "minimum requirements", since then it is logical that the computer is slow only because of the resources consumed by the operating system.
As for the security of the system , Windows 8 has implemented some security enhancements to protect against malicious applications, but is not without its vulnerabilities. However, whatever the OS we use, it is always advisable to install a good antivirus as ESED Nod 32 , download the Google Chrome or Firefox and never use Internet Explorer.
Switch to Windows 8, yes or no?
It depends on the operating system you have installed on the computers you are using. If it's a Windows Vista, I would not hesitate. Two of the main criteria for choosing an operating system that I consider important are usability and speed. If you do not like Windows 7, or you want to come to Ubuntu (a free software far more advisable than either Windows), Windows 8 can be useful if you have a good computer with 2 GB of RAM or more , and surely you will occupy less than A Windows 7.
So, is it worth going to Windows 8? Yes, but under certain conditions and knowing well what you do. However, unless you want to buy a touch screen, I recommend you use the more traditional Windows interface and let METRO for more recreational things.
Now, keep in mind that the process of changing an operating system takes an afternoon or two in which you will have stopped the PC and you will have to record all your files. I recommend that if you do not normally work with an online backup do one as soon as possible for these situations.
And you, you think it's worth going to Windows 8? What operating system do you have? Leave your opinion in the comments.
