And there are already discussions about<br \/>\nwhy to change and why not. Let&#8217;s have a quick peek on the new OS that will hit<br \/>\nstores tomorrow: Internet Explorer 10, DirectX 12, Tiles, Gestures, support<br \/>\nfor touchscreens and tablets, the lack of the Aero surface&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->There are lots of good things to come but also bad things.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Good things:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>IE10: The new browser will support a wider variety of standards and be faster and more secure. But currently only for Windows 8<\/li>\n<li>DirectX 12: The new graphics API will allow much more realistic graphics. Too bad only that there isn&#8217;t any hardware around yet to support all the new features&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>Gestures: The new OS will act upon gestures and behave like a tablet OS if desired\u00a0 (and of course if you have a tablet PC)<\/li>\n<li>Touchscreen support: Point&amp;Click the modern way. No Mouse to move around&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>Tiles: One view and you&#8217;re all informed!<\/li>\n<li>Low price for updates: 30USD\/50USD for the updates<\/li>\n<li>Low price for the full OEM: 70\/100USD for the Instal-from-scratch-versions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Bad Things:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tiles: They replace the common desktop. For tablet PCs this is acceptable. But on a common PC where the User expects icons to use instead of &#8220;Tiles&#8221;?<\/li>\n<li>Aero surface. be honest: Microsoft removed Aero for performance and memory usage reasons. Okay, sure Aero is a ressource hog but it can be deactivated. So why disable it for all users then?<\/li>\n<li>Missing Desktop\/Start menu (or not defaultable for PCs): Why is this feature also completely removed? There are users who want to upgrade to Windows 8 but the missing desktop or start menu is not an option for many users.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And for you to know: Nope I am not updating to Windows 8 as Windows 7 is still working fine and I don&#8217;t see any necessity to upgrade!<\/p>\n<p>For all those who can&#8217;t wait: Tomorrow it&#8217;s release time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Windows 8 is just around the corner.
