Security in Progress

I am amazed by Microsoft Security Essential. It had been integrated in Windows 8 as part of Windows Defender. It is really unexpected. I remember with rakishness of former Internet Explorer. This security is better than before.
Although Windows Defender was being great, you still can add security third-party software if you think Windows Defender is not enough guarding your computer.
One great thing I think that Microsoft will select application in its Marketplace tightly. Hope happening in Google Play where many applications were contaminated by malware is not happen in Microsoft Windows Marketplace.

Windows to Go

Windows-to-Go can make usual flash disk become bootable flash disk which can directly run Windows 8 Enterprise without installation.

Advanced Boot Options

If you use Windows 8 with UEFI supporting computer, this Windows will run faster. It means you don’t need a chance to press [F2], [F8], or [Del] to enter in boot options like you did before.
Advanced Boot Options have made you easier to manage boot manager. If Windows 8 in booting failure.

Faster Boot Times

I like Windows 8 when be installed in UEFI supporting device. It has fast booting (in mine, it need 8 to boot). Of course these speed dependent on resource management on your computer. The biggest influence of speed-booting in Windows 8 is it capable hibernate kernel system when shut down. When rerunning system, session from user before will be resumed.

Restore PC

When your windows performance was getting slow because many installed programs, you can use new feature of Windows 8. It is called “Restore PC”. This feature can backup your document and application. It can make your computer condition same like just reformat and reinstall.

Reset PC

If Restore PC method is not success, it’s time to Reset PC. This feature is very different with Restore PC because it can sweep all of your hard drive and reinstall your PC clearly.
Thorough option is not only delete your data, but also rewrite your data many times, so your data will be safe and you don’t need worry about someone will recover your data.

This is all I know about Windows 8 feature and reasons why I use it. are you interested to try it?

For example; icon mail in Live Tiles can tell you if there is inbox message directly. Good job windows 8!

Microsoft makes big innovation in Windows 8. We can do the tasks easily in other Windows 8 device like Windows Tablet or other ones if you are not in using your PC. SkyDrive in Windows 8 is solution. You can get your tasks by logging in Windows 8 (Windows Live ID account) and open SkyDrive application. Documents and photos saved in SkyDrive can you access in everywhere and every time. In Windows 8 final release version, SkyDrive become as virtual hard drive in Windows Explorer, so you can manage your documents in cloud drive easily.

Android, iOS, and Windows are the popular operating system (OS) which be used in tablet-PC. So, you must consider what OS you need in your tablet-PC.

windows tablet

Windows try to get more profit in tablet-PC market with their newest OS debut. It is Windows 8. Design which be made attempt is for more supporting touch-screen experience. Windows app store which just launched try to add capability windows tablets performance. Nowadays, more than 27,000 applications are already in windows app store.

Storage

Buying tablet-PC is not good if not considering in storage.
In common conditions, tablet-PC has minimum 16 GB, average in 32 GB. but is not close the possibility that storage of tablet-PC will increase in the future.
For your attention, in using tablet-PC, make sure that you don’t use maximum capacity that tablet-PC has. It can make tablet-PC run low. If this happen, I consider to you to have additional memory to put in memory card slot and add capacity of your tablet-PC.
