Microsoft has introduced a new Windows 8 interface

windows8-1-update-1

At the AllThingsD conference held on June 1 in California, Microsoft went public for the first time with the user interface of the Windows 8 operating system, the release of which was announced for 2012.

The operating system for laptops and desktops, as well as tablets, was presented by Stephen Sinofsky, president of Windows and Windows Live at Microsoft on Wednesday night.

According to what could be seen during the brief introduction of the user interface, Microsoft Windows 8 will look drastically different from the Windows operating systems that preceded it.

Optimized for touch, Windows 8 is irresistibly reminiscent of the company's operating system interface on Windows Phone 7. A completely redesigned touch-sensitive interface, just like the keyboard, is designed for desktops and upcoming tablets. The new interface does not have the Start button that Windows users are used to and generally represents the biggest visual shift since Windows 95.

Sinofsky said the programs will be based on JavaScript and HTML5 web standards, making it easier for developers to write programs for Windows and compete for mobile operating systems.

Despite expectations that a tablet version of Windows 8 is planned for release this year, according to Sinofsky, this will not happen. "We intend to continue the practice of publishing a new Windows every two to three years. I can tell you it won't be this fall, "Sinfoski said when asked when Windows 8 could hit the market.

The complete interview with Stephen Sinofsky can be found on the Engadget.com website.

The difference between Sleep, Hibernate and Hybrid sleep options

What is the difference between regular Sleep mode and Hybrid sleep mode? And what is Hibernate ? I will try to explain in the simplest way possible so that everyone understands nicely. 1.

We often find a movie we like, but in addition to a good movie, we also need subtitles.

Prevent Internet traffic from being exceeded on Android devices

Android users are increasingly complaining about how the mobile operator delivered bills with huge numbers without even knowing how they managed to spend so much. Then a problem arises because the subscriber does not want to pay that amount of money because he did not spend so many megabytes, at least he does not know that he did. That's right, he doesn't know that he did because he didn't consciously spend it, the Android device did it. Then the subscriber takes the fact that he exceeded Android to avoid paying extra megabytes.
