2.8-GHz octa-core Snapdragon 845 (Kryo 385) processor and 6 GB of RAM, this smartphone does an effective job whether 
you’re watching videos, clicking pictures, or browsing the Internet.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION


CAMERA

The rear shooter also is assisted with an LED flash that aids low-light photos and videos. You can use the front-facing shooter for making video calls and 
capturing selfies.

is slotted at the back and allows users to record multiple fingerprints. The smartphone features a metal unibody design which reflects a premium look and feel.

Under the chassis, there is a non-removable Li-Po 3,500mAh cell which is good enough to last for an entire day under moderate to heavy user.

Samsung certainly has the edge with its Infinity Display, and Galaxy A6+ with its 6-inch SAMOLED full HD+ display with minimal bezels on the side looks 
good. Yes, the phone has a top and bottom chin on the front, but what I like about the overall design is that it is light and easy to use with one-hand. Despite the 
6-inch display, Galaxy A6+ does not seem overwhelming.

Best Apps For Pc

                         Bluestacks

With the new hybrid convertible form factors, BlueStacks completely eliminates the need to
carry two devices. In the end, the consumer will be getting the advantages of both Android
and Windows on the same computer.

If users have ever wished they could test out Android apps before installing them on their
device or just want to use the same apps on both their Android device and their computer,
check out the free BlueStacks App Player.

This software allows computers and tablets to run Android apps. The App Player also allows
computers and tablets to install apps synced from an Android device thanks to the company's
Android-based Cloud Connect technology.
Users simply need to download and install the free App Player to the PC, and the free Cloud
Connect app to an Android device.

The apps that came pre-installed can be run full-screen or in a window. Naturally because
they're designed for a touch interface, users might want to use a touch-based all-in-one PC, a
laptop with a multi-touch pad or tablet, yet they're still functional when using the standard
mouse and keyboard.

Some of it's features are -

> Play Android apps fast and full-screen
> Push your favorite apps from your Android phone to your computer using BlueStacks Cloud
   Connect.
> Run 10 pre-loaded apps "out of the box"
> Install up to 26 more of your favorite apps
> May not work fast on older netbooks and tablets


BlueStacks App Player is a versatile program that bridges the gap between mobile and desktop
by allowing users to run their favorite Android apps on their Windows or macOS desktops.
Users can sign in with their Google account in order to access the Play store, and sync app
data where supported. First released to the public in 2011, the program has continued to grow
with the Android ecosystem, with investment partners including the likes of Intel, Samsung,
Qualcomm and AMD. BlueStacks is ad-supported, and free to download and use, with a
premium subscription that removes advertisements and priority tech support.





                        Recuva

Recuva is a supremely user-friendly file recovery tool.

Deleting files by accident is something that happens more often than users think, no matter how
computer literate they are. This is why it's always a good idea to have a tool like Recuva. With
Recuva users can restore files that have been accidentally deleted from the computer, a USB
drive, an MP3 player or even a memory card from their photo camera.

A very handy recovery wizard takes all the guesswork out of finding users files. All users have to
do is select the type of file they want to recover (photos, emails, videos, etc.) and where it's
likely to be (recycle bin, on a media card, etc.). As soon as Recuva's finished, users will see a list
with all the recoverable files, which users can sort in several ways or search with a customizable
filter tool. Then simply select the files users want to recover and they are ready to go.

Obviously Recuva is just a software tool and can't perform miracles. The sooner users use the
program after deleting files, the more chance users have of recovering them. Also, try saving
them to a different drive: it improves the success percentage.

If users have accidentally deleted some important files, don't freak out: try using Recuva and
they will probably be able to restore them!





                     Team Viewer

TeamViewer  is a popular piece of  software used for Internet-based remote access and support.
TeamViewer software can connect to any PC or server, so users can remote control their
partner's PC as if they were sitting right in front of it.TeamViewer connects to any PC or server

TeamViewer is the latest version of the software and works with Windows, Mac, Linux
operating systems and Mobile (Android, Apple iPad, Apple iPhone) devices. TeamViewer is
free for all non-commercial users.

Meetings / Presentations
Teamwork, presentations and sales talks - a picture says more than a thousand words.
TeamViewer enables users to share their desktop with other people over the internet, even
through firewalls - the ideal solution for online collaboration.



                              IDM

All modern web browsers come with download capabilities, and while those are getting the
job done, they usually fail when it comes to management and advanced features. Download
managers like Internet Download Manager add a rich feature set to the system which not only
gives users better control over all downloads, but often also improves the speed in which files
are downloaded to their computer system.
For instance by segmenting downloads and using multiple connections to decrease the time
it takes to complete it.

The installation of Internet Download Manager is straightforward. An option to select the
browsers users want the program to integrate with would have been nice, but other than that,
there is no reason for complaints.
IDM integrates itself automatically into supported web browsers, the list includes Internet
Explorer, Firefox, Chrome and Opera, by hijacking the browser's own download tool.
The process is fully automated and users do not have to do anything different to take
advantage of the program.

Downloads that users initiate are simply handled automatically by the download manager and
not the browser's download tool.
It displays information about the download, will group the download automatically, and lets
users add a description if they want.


Sometimes, the downloads may not get picked up correctly. When that is the cause users have
other options to still work with Internet Download Manager.
Users can right-click the download and select the download with IDM option from the context
menu, enable clipboard monitoring in the application and copy download links to the clipboard,
drag and drop download links from the browser into the program window, or paste a download
address directly into the program using the Tasks > Add new download option.

A files type determines whether it will immediately be downloaded by IDM or if downloads are
not started automatically. Users can modify white and blacklisted file types in the program
configuration. Here users also find an option to block automatic downloads from select
Internet addresses.

While users may usually want their downloads to complete as soon as possible, users
sometimes may need bandwidth for other tasks while downloading. If users are watching an
HD video for instance that is streamed to their system, they may want to limit the download
bandwidth.
IDM enables users to limit the download speed during downloads or as a general
setting in the program options.

Downloads can be added to a queue if users do not want the files to be downloaded directly.
This can be a useful way of collecting downloads to run them when the computer is idle or
when users are not sitting in front of it.
The queue can then be processed using the built-in scheduler or manually at any time.


Downloads are automatically sorted into categories like compressed, documents or programs.
Users can add, edit and remove categories which help them keep an overview over all of their
downloads. Categories, queues, and unfinished downloads are displayed on the left in the
sidebar that users can navigate to filter files here.

The configuration options let users customize the download manager further. Users can for
instance disable integration in select browsers or add other browsers, portable versions for
instance, to the list of browser's that are monitored.
There are also options to configure keyboard shortcuts to bypass or force downloading with
IDM, customize the browser context menu entries, change the default maximum number of
connections, or add site logins and proxy information if needed.

One interesting feature of IDM is that it supports multiple download queues that users can
manage individually and create schedules for.

If users need to download a lot of files from a single site, users may want to use the built-in
Grabber module which lets them do that. It supports authorization if needed and enables users
to download a lot of pictures, audio files or any other type of file from the selected address.
Users can select one of the available templates that the program ships with, or configure their
own custom template instead.
While optimized for file downloading, it can actually also be used to download a complete
website to their local system.


All downloads remain listed in the program until users decide to delete them. If users never do
that, they get a complete download history of their downloads which may be helpful if they
need to download a file again but can't remember where users downloaded it from.



Internet Download Manager supports firewalls, proxy and mirror servers, FTP, HTTP, HTTPS
protocols, redirects, cookies, download queues, directories with authorization, MP3 audio and
MPEG video content processing, and a large number of different server platforms.
IDM integrates seamlessly into all browsers automatically (IE, FireFox, Opera etc). It can be
also integrated into any other Internet applications that use FTP, or HTTP protocols.



Speed

Internet Download Manager promises faster download speeds, lets see if that is the really the
case. A test download of the latest Linux Mint version, a 960 Megabyte download, completed
in 2 minutes 44 seconds and about 3 additional seconds to combine the parts that were
downloaded. This maxed out the download bandwidth of the Internet connection. The same
download using Google Chrome's internal download manager took 3 minutes and 4 seconds
to complete.


Verdict

Internet Download Manager speeds up users downloads, if they want, and enables users to
keep taps on all downloads on the system it is running on. Integration with web browsers is
solid for the most part, Firefox Nightly users will however notice that it is not compatible with
their browser. While it is still possible to use the program, for instance by enabling clipboard
monitoring, direct support would have been nicer.

The program improves the download speed, by how much, depends on a number of factors
including the server users are downloading from and the PC's Internet connection and load.

                          WINRAR

WinRAR is an archive manager for backing up data and reducing the size of e-mail attachments.
Decompress files downloaded from the internet and create new archives in RAR and ZIP file
format. Support is provided for RAR, ZIP, CAB, ARJ, LZH, ACE, TAR, GZip, UUE, ISO, BZIP2, Z
and 7-Zip file formats.

WinRAR recognises and selects the best compression method for decompressing multi-media
files; the compression algorithm compresses multi-media files, executables and object
libraries. Split archives into separate volumes in order to save them on several disks. 128 bit
password encryption and authenticated signature technology is included.


WinRAR benefits:

WinRAR is a powerful compression tool with many integrated additional functions to help users
organise their compressed archives.

WinRAR puts users ahead of the crowd when it comes to compression. By consistently creating
smaller archives, WinRAR is often faster than the competition. This will save users disk space,
transmission costs AND valuable working time as well.

WinRAR supports all popular compression formats (RAR, ZIP, CAB, ARJ, LZH, ACE, TAR, GZip,
UUE, ISO, BZIP2, Z and 7-Zip).It enables users to create, organize and manage archives in a
comfortable and quick manner.

WinRAR is ideal for multimedia files. WinRAR automatically recognises and selects the best
compression method. The special compression algorithm compresses multimedia files,
executables and object libraries particularly well.

WinRAR allows users to split archives into separate volumes easily, making it possible to save
them on several disks for example.

WinRAR is also ideal, if users are sending data through the web. Its 256 bit password encryption
and its authenticated signature technology will give users the peace of mind they have been
looking for.

WinRAR is a 32-bit/64-bit Windows version of RAR Archiver, the powerful archiver and archive
manager. WinRARs main features are very strong general and multimedia compression, solid
compression, archive protection from damage, processing of ZIP and other non-RAR archives,
scanning archives for viruses, programmable self-extracting archives(SFX), NTFS and
Unicode support, strong AES encryption, support of multivolume archives, command line
and graphical interface, drag-and-drop facility, wizard interface, theme support, folder tree
panel, password manager and multithread support.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION


This new OS is crowd-full of fresh features. 
Some of them are: a lean, fast Internet Explorer replacement called Edge; Microsoft's Siri-like 
voice-controlled virtual assistant, Cortana; and the ability to stream real-time games to users 
desktop from an Xbox One in another room.


Windows 10 Bridges The Gap Between PC and Tablet


But Windows 10 is also the end of a long, awkward road that began with the release of 
Windows 8 in 2012, when Microsoft tried to convince a world of keyboard and mouse wielders 
that touchscreens were the way to go -- or else. Ironically, in 2015, the PC hardware for that 
touchscreen future is now here -- everything from 2-in-1s such as the Lenovo Yoga line to 
convertible tablets with detachable keyboards, like Microsoft's own Surface. And Windows 10 
smoothly lets users transition from "tablet" to "PC" mode on such devices like never before.

The Start menu, inexplicably yanked from 8, is back and working the way users expect it to. 
Those live tiles from the Windows 8 home screen still exist, but they've been attached to the 
Start menu, where they make a lot more sense. And the extremely hidden Charms bar has 
been modified into the more straightforward (and easier to find) Action Center.



A Fresh Start

The Start menu is back; it's almost funny how relieving that is. That humble Start button has 
been a fixture on the lower left corner of the Windows desktop since the quiet days of 
Windows 95, offering speedy access to apps and settings. Press it on Windows 10, and users 
will see the latest step in a long conversation about the state of the PC industry.

The past sits on the left: a neat column with shortcuts to users most used apps. 
Press the "All Apps" button and users will get an alphabetical list of all of the apps installed 
on users PC. There are folders in there too -- press them, and extra options will fly out, just 
like they always have.

The future -- or at least, the future as Microsoft anticipate it -- sits on the right side of the Start 
menu. These are the colorful, animated live tiles that debuted in Windows 8, pulling double 
duty as app shortcuts and informative widgets. 
Users can resize these live tiles, drag them about to arrange them into groups and pin as 
many apps as users had like -- the entire Start menu can be shrunk or expanded to suit users 
liking. It's essentially a miniaturized version of the fullscreen Start menu we saw in Windows 
8. Users can also unpin them to excise them from their computer, leaving with the narrow 
column of frequently used apps known for so long.



One step back, two steps forward

The Start menu in Windows 10 is admission that Windows 8 maybe have been a bit too 
forward thinking. But Microsoft hasn't abandoned that vision of unifying all manner of devices 
under a single operating system: Continuum in Windows 10 is the latest attempt to bridge the 
gap between touch and non-touch devices, and this time it doesn't force users to relearn 
how to work with PCs.


To start, there's no divide between the Windows 8-style "Modern" apps users get from the 
Windows app store, and those users install the old-fashioned way. Everything exists as a 
traditional windowed app, sharing space on the desktop. If users are on a two-in-one device 
like Microsoft's Surface Pro 3 , pop the keyboard off and Windows 10 will switch to tablet 
mode. The Start menu and users apps will stretch to take up the entire screen, and all of the 
miscellaneous apps and shortcuts on users taskbar will disappear, to give users finger fewer 
obstacles to hit.


Reattach the keyboard, and everything slots back into place. It's an rapid, seamless 
process. It's also entirely optional: users can disable the feature and switch to tablet mode 
manually, or forget that this whole touch concept exists at all.

This is what Windows 8 always should've been: an operating system that bridges the divide 
between touch and non-touch, without alienating folks who fall into one camp or the other. 
Like it or not, the future belongs to devices with touchscreens. But Microsoft (finally) 
understands that users will all get there at own pace, and Continuum makes the transition 
painless. And now that there are so many hybrid devices to choose from, making the switch 
to touch without abandoning the interface know is more important than ever.


Learning new tricks

Microsoft hasn't stopped at making touch make sense on a Windows PC. With Windows 10, 
just about every facet of the OS has been tweaked and updated, and a few new features have 
been rolled in. In typical Microsoft fashion, there's a dizzying array of keyboard shortcuts and 
touch gestures for each of these features, giving you no fewer than three ways to access the 
things you're trying to get to. No need to memorize them all -- just use whatever suits you 
(or your device) best.


Virtual desktops

Click the new Task View button on the taskbar and users will get a bird's-eye view of all of the 
apps they have got open. Drag one of those apps onto the "new desktop" button, and it'll be 
moved to its own independent workspace. Users can keep one workspace focused on work, 
a separate desktop for gaming forums, yet another workspace for the new camera lenses they
checking out; there's no limit to the amount of virtual desktops users can create, and each 
one is treated as its own little private island.


Virtual desktops are far from a new development, and they have been available in past 
versions of Windows thanks to third-party apps. But it's nice to see Microsoft catching up here. The 
feature could still use some work: desktops are numbered, but if users create a lot of them it 
can be hard to keep track of where everything is. The "traditional" Win32 apps users might 
download and install from a website are happy to open a new instance on any desktop, while 
clicking the shortcut on an app from the Windows store will yank users back to whatever 
desktop they used it on last.

Users can move apps across virtual desktops -- just drag them, or right-click to shunt them 
over -- but there's no way to reorder the virtual desktops themselves, which would be really 
useful for staying organized. 


Windows Snap

The Snap feature introduced in Windows 7 has gotten a bit of an upgrade, too. Drag an app to 
the left or right side of the screen, and it'll "snap" to fill that space. The new Snap Assist 
feature will then chime in, showing users little thumbnails of any other apps that are currently 
open -- click a thumbnail, and it'll fill up the remaining space. Users can also snap an app into a
corner of their display and fill their screen with up to four apps, divided equally across the 
screen -- this could prove useful for folks with massive monitors.





Action Center

The new Action Center replaces the "Charms" introduced in Windows 8, and is another nod to 
mobile operating systems. Click the Action center icon on the taskbar to bring up a panel that 
houses all of users app notifications, and offers quick access to a few important system 
settings, like toggling their Wi-Fi network or switching in and out of tablet mode -- users can 
choose the options that turn up here in the settings menu. If users are coming from Windows 7 
and have no idea where to find some of the settings they are used to, there's a good chance 
users will find them here.


Wi-Fi Sense

Wi-Fi Sense presence in Windows 10 should have been a welcome addition: Wi-Fi 
Sense connects users devices to trusted Wi-Fi hotspots.

Wi-Fi Sense doesn't share users actual password, so it theoretically eases a social transaction
(the sharing of Wi-Fi connectivity) without necessarily compromising users network security.


Windows Hello and Windows Passport

Microsoft is also beefing up security with Windows Hello. The feature will use users Windows 
10 devices' camera or a fingerprint scanner to turn their body into a password. Once they have 
authenticated theirself with Windows Hello, Windows Passport will then give users access to 
a number of third-party sites and products, without forcing users to log in all over again. This 
should make it a bit more convenient to log in to their devices, so users don't skimp on 
traditional measures, like having a robust password. The only catch is that Hello isn't widely 
supported on a lot of existing hardware users will need a device sporting Intel's RealSense 
camera, or a fingerprint scanner.


Chatting with Cortana

Microsoft's virtual assistant Cortana isn't exactly a new feature, as she's been on Windows 
Phone for just over a year. But the company's answer to Apple's Siri, Amazon's Alexa and 
Google Now has made the transition to the desktop with Windows 10, taking over the 
OS' search functionality, while also handling quite a few housekeeping duties. Users can have 
Cortana trawl through their email and calendar, and keep users notified of any upcoming 
flights they are taking, or packages they are expecting. She can set reminders and track stocks, 
and users can even dictate email messages for her to send to their contacts. Cortana can 
also be set to listen for users to say "Hey, Cortana," and can be trained to recognize several 
different voices.


She's not especially useful here. Windows 10's Voice recognition is rather accurate, but if users
have to send an email message and users at their desk, they can just going to use their email 
client. She'll offer recommendations for places to eat or things to see, but that'd be a lot more useful 
when users are out and about than at their desk.

Cortana will be making her way to Android and iOS devices later this year, which should clear 
up most of these issues -- provided most of her functionality crosses platforms without issue. 



Microsoft Edge Rethinks The Browser

Microsoft has added a brand-new browser into Windows 10, and it's called Microsoft Edge. 
Introducing a new browser in a world that already has Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and 
Apple's Safari is a pretty bold move. Doubly so when users previous effort was Internet 
Explorer -- once a juggernaut in the space, now the Internet's favorite punchline.

Edge is a fast, modern browser that offers quite a few commendable features. Cortana is 
integrated right into the browser, and she'll offer detailed information on things like the 
weather or flight statuses while users are typing into the browser's address bar. Navigate over to 
a bar or restaurant's website, and Cortana can pull up a little sidebar full of useful information, 
like reviews or directions. The webnote feature lets users scribble on webpages and share 
their annotations to OneNote or via email, and users can use the Reading view option to strip a 
website down to its bare essentials. Edge has also been built with tighter security from the 
start, to hopefully circumvent some of the headaches that erupted from Internet Explorer.




Getting your game on

Windows 10 adds and tweaks a few things in the entertainment department. The Xbox Video 
and Xbox Music apps have been renamed to Movies & TV and Groove Music, respectively. 
Their function is identical: any music and video files on users device can be found here, but 
it mostly serves as a means to convince users to buy or rent content from Microsoft's stores. 
users have got plenty of streaming services to choose from, for music and video.

If users are a gamer, the Xbox app will prove far more interesting. It's a window into their Xbox 
Live feed, letting users see what their friends are up to and send them messages, browse 
recordings people have made, compare achievements, and all of the expected ways of 
interacting with the social network. But if users own an Xbox One, they can stream activity from 
their console to any device running Windows 10.

It's awesome. No, it's not a game changer, and certainly not a reason to run out and grab an 
Xbox One. But it's still awesome: if someone wants to use the television, Users can just plug an 
Xbox One controller into one of their PCs and continue plugging away at the Xbox One version 
of The Witcher 3 . The quality of the experience is going to be dependent on their network.


Handy tools for shutterbugs

The new Photos app isn't going to replace something like Adobe Lightroom, but if users take a 
lot of photos and are looking for a simple tool to keep things organized, they will do well here.


The Photos app scans users devices and OneDrive account for photos, and automatically 
arranges them into albums. Users can use the app as a way to keep track of their pictures, 
but it also offers some basic editing tools too. If users prefer a hands-off approach, Photos 
will automatically enhance all of the photos it finds, wrangling red eye and sorting out 
exposure levels -- it works on RAW files, too. But don't worry: the edits Photos makes are 
non-destructive, so users can undo any changes it makes, or prevent it from altering their 
photos altogether.



Windows, everywhere

Windows 10 has finally arrived, but this version of Windows is fundamentally different from 
any that have come before it. It will truly be an everywhere OS, a concept Microsoft will be 
pushing with Windows 10 Mobile , and Universal Apps. Apps developed for Windows 8 and 
Windows Phone 8 could share much of their code, which was supposed to make it easy to 
create a single app that ran everywhere.

Microsoft's universal apps share an identical codebase: the Excel client on users desktop, for 
example, will be the exact same client as the one on their phone, with elements adjusted to 
make sense of the different display, and the lack of a keyboard or mouse. Users can currently 
get a taste of this on the latest version of Windows 10 Mobile.

Universal apps will lead to their own challenges, as developers will have to weigh creating 
rich, robust apps that can run on a mobile device, against developing apps that can make use 
of all of the power a full PC can bring to bear. Microsoft is already drafting a solution using 
Continuum. Microsoft has demonstrated Continuum for phones: plug a Windows Phone into a 
display, and the interface will one day morph to mimic the PC-based version of Windows. 
Users will see the desktop, desktop-versions of Windows Store apps, and get full mouse and 
keyboard support. There's no word on when Continuum for phones will be available, or what 
devices it'll run on, but it offers a tantalizing glimpse of what Microsoft has in store.



Getting ready for what's next

The Windows Update process will be key to getting everyone on board with Microsoft's vision 
of the future of Windows. It'll also prove to be one of the most contentious elements: if users are 
running the standard Home version of Windows 10, updates are automatic and can't be refused.

This is a great thing. Windows' Achilles' heel has long been its nigh-ubiquity, which makes it a 
prime target for malware and other digital nastiness. A computer that's kept up to date is a 
happy computer, as it will offer users the best chance of avoiding viruses and other unpleasant 
things.


This is also a terrible thing. Many of us have encountered software updates that don't quite 
work out, occasionally breaking more than they fix. One of the last updates to the 
Windows 10 preview has been triggering software crashes, a recurring reminder that things 
occasionally don't work out as intended.

Getting started

It's all about the cloud

The whole boot-up sequence takes not a minute, but just 20 seconds in some cases.
We can remember when we first started using Windows 7 the start-up sequence wasn't that 
different from Vista, which in turn wasn't unlike versions of Windows that came before that. 
The chain of start-up screens could be long, sometimes taking more than a minute to 
complete. Depending on how slow the system was, it could have taken a while longer for the 
desktop to fully load. Here, booting Windows feels like turning on an Android tablet, or some 
other mobile device. The whole process takes not a minute, but just 20 seconds in some 
cases -- a short sequence marked by a brief splash screen and redesigned Windows logo. 

From there, getting set up is a quick, painless affair. When users first boot up Windows 8 
they will be prompted to sign into their Microsoft account. 

Yes, the same one they might already be using for Hotmail, SkyDrive and Xbox Live. 
That means that every time users sign into a Windows 8 PC, their settings and custom twist 
will follow users to that new device. 
Additionally, because their Microsoft account is linked to their SkyDrive storage, users will be 
logged into SkyDrive on any Windows 8 device where they have logged in using their 
Microsoft ID. 
So, because Office 2013 backs up to SkyDrive by default, it means any document 
users edit on their Windows 8 device it will automatically upload to the cloud.

If users didn't already have a Microsoft account, they can create one while they're setting up 
their PC. 
Users can link their account at any time, really, and they also have the option of 
disconnecting it. 
Naturally, too, people can add multiple user accounts, as they could on previous versions of Windows.

If users like, they can also cherry-pick which settings do and do not get synced across their
various Windows 8 devices. 
Go into the settings menu, for instance, and users can use on-off switches to sync their 
settings for desktop personalization, accessibility, language, app and browser settings. 
Users also have the option of syncing their lock screen, account picture and 
other Windows settings, like those relating to File Explorer or the mouse.



Security options

Obviously, if users log into Windows 8 for the first time using an existing Microsoft account, 
they have already got a built-in password for their PC. 
But in addition to a standard password, users can use a four-digit numerical pin to unlock the 
device. 
What's more, with Windows 8, Microsoft is also offering a new "Picture password" option that 
allows users to pick any photo and make a series of gestures on it. 
Users can make as many gestures as they want, but they do have to be taps, circles or swipes. 
In addition to the order, though, users will have to remember where on the picture they are 
supposed to make each gesture.




User interface


Redesigned Start Screen, and the end of the Start button

The new, mobile-inspired Start Screen looks wholly different from anything as seen on 
previous versions of Windows. 
What's more, users can't even interact with these apps the same way they run at full-screen, 
and can't be minimized or re-sized like the windows they're used to. 
In short, these tiles are the cornerstone of the Windows 8 experience, and they're impossible 
to avoid, even if users plan on doing much of their work in the traditional desktop.

As users have probably heard by now, the Start button is no more. Well, it's there, 
but users will have to hover with users mouse in the lower-left corner to make it appear. 
So, it's exactly where users would expect it to be it's just hidden until it's clear they need it.
Users device will almost certainly have a dedicated Start button, the same way every 
Windows-compatible keyboard has a Start key. 
Users can also find a shortcut to the Start menu in the Charms Bar, which users expose by 
swiping in from the right side of the screen. 
Not being able to click on the Start button is an adjustment, to be sure, but we're also 
confident users will fall into a rhythm pretty quickly. 


When Windows users say they wish Microsoft hadn't axed the Start button, what they're really 
nervous about is the fact that the Start Menu is presented so differently. 
When users hit the Start key, they will no longer see a stack of fly-out menus instead, they will 
be whisked away from the desktop to a full-screen assortment of finger-friendly Live Tiles, 
which users scroll through from left to right. In other words, that minimal, unfamiliar screen is 
the new Start Menu.



Universal search


If users make the same pinch-to-zoom gesture users would use to zoom in and out of web 
pages, they can shrink the Start Screen so that they can see all their pages of apps at once. 
As users can imagine, that's useful if users have a large collection of apps and don't want to 
page horizontally through eight home screens.

Additionally, once users bring up the Start screen they can start typing to search for something. 
The results will immediately pop up on the right side 
of the screen. From within the search results pane, users will see the results are divided into 
files, settings and applications. 
Admittedly, this method of search isn't obvious to new users, but again, they only need to 
learn it once. After that, it's quite convenient.



Charms Bar


The Charms Bar is at its best when users have some sort of touch device at their disposal.
We already mentioned the Charms Bar, which appears when users swipe in from the right 
side of the screen. 
Here, users will find shortcuts for the Start Screen, settings menu, a list of 
connected devices, search and sharing. 
Lingering on that last point, sharing works much the same as it does on other mobile devices, 
which is to say if users have got some piece of content say, a Word document or a batch of 
photos users can share them in all sorts of way.
This includes email, as well as Facebook, SkyDrive, Twitter and any other applicable service 
users have linked to their Microsoft account. 

What's more, it's nice that all of these sharing and settings menus are easy to reach with users 
thumbs, even if you're using a large 11-inch tablet or a 13-inch convertible PC. The Charms 
Bar is one example of this: users can reach the settings and sharing menus while still cradling 
their tablet in a natural position. 
Moving on to the left side of the screen, users can swipe in from the left to toggle through 
open apps -- a feature known as Switcher. 
Each time users swipe, a different program slides into place, taking up the whole screen. 

Users can also expose the Charms Bar using a mouse, though it's a less smooth experience. 
They will want to hover on so-called hot corners at the upper- and lower-right portions of the 
screen. This can be frustrating, and definitely has a learning curve. If users are using a PC 
without a touchscreen, there's a good chance the trackpad has fresh drivers that allow them to 
replicate key Windows 8 gestures, like swiping in from the right to bring up the Charms Bar. 

One other, potentially confusing thing: the Charms Bar holds the shortcut to system settings. 
If they are inside an app and want to see some options specific to that program, they will need to 
perform a different gesture entirely: swipe the top or bottom of the screen to bring up that 
menu.



Multitasking

When it comes to switching apps, users can use that Switcher gesture, but there are other 
built-in features designed to make multitasking a bit easier. 
For starters, Snap allows users to dock a window or app so that it takes up either a third or two-thirds 
of the screen. 
That leaves room for a second app, which users can snap into the remaining space. 
That's actually quite similar to Aero Snap from Windows 7, except here the dimensions are in 
thirds, instead of half the screen. 
As in the Win 7 version of this feature, users can't manually re-size these 
windows: once they snap into place they're going to take up a predictable amount of space.

Also, in Windows 8 users can mix up the proportions by sliding the border of a window across 
the screen. 
Say, for instance, users are working on a Word document on two-thirds of the screen, 
with IE 10 sitting off to the side. Users might be spending most of their time typing in Word, 
but if they need to do a web search, they can just put theur finger on the border between the 
two windows, and drag it over so that now the web browser takes up more space. 
It's also worth noting that you can mix and match traditional desktop programs and Modern (formerly known 
as "Metro") apps.

Snap is a trick users can pull off if they are using a touchscreen device or a traditional mouse and 
keyboard. 
Whether users are using their finger or a cursor, they need to drag down on the app 
from the top of the screen before it can be docked into place. 
If users are using a mouse, they also hover in the upper-left corner of the screen to expose 
open apps. 
What they will see isn't a list, but a series of preview thumbnails miniaturized versions of 
whatever's going on in that window. 
From there, users can click on a thumbnail to switch to that app, or they can right-click to close 
one. Like so many other features in Windows 8, this feels less clumsy with practice, though 
even after months of testing, we find the swiping Switcher gesture feels smoother, more 
intuitive.


Personalization options

To some extent, users can control the look and feel of Windows 8. No, there's no bringing back 
the Start button, but they can select different color themes for their Start Screen. Toward the 
end of the Windows 8 development process, Microsoft added so-called Personalization 
Tattoos -- essentially, Start Screen backgrounds with patterns and borders. So long as they are 
signed into their PC using a Microsoft account, this, too, will follow users to other Windows 8 
devices they might log into. 
Get another Win 8 PC down the line, and it will show userss paisley background as soon as 
they sign in for the first time.



Lock screen

In addition to the Start Menu, users can customize the look and feel of the lock screen. This 
includes the background photo, as well as which notifications are displayed. For instance, 
even without entering their password, users can see upcoming calendar appointments, as well 
as a peek at how many unread messages or emails they have. 
In the PC settings, users can also choose to display detailed information for one of two
things Their upcoming calendar appointment, or the weather forecast.



Desktop

For the most part, the desktop should feel pretty familiar to Windows 7 users, especially 
compared to that redesigned Start Screen. Still, there are some differences here, too. For 
starters, the Aero UI is no more, which means windows no longer have a transparent border. 
Everything here is flat and two-dimensional, not unlike those new Live Tiles.

In a move that will please power users, Windows 8 also improved multi-monitor 
support, with the ability to display different desktop backgrounds on multiple displays, as 
well as have a single picture span those various screens. Users also have the choice of 
expanding the Taskbar across those monitors, or setting it up so that a pinned program only 
appears on the same screen where that app is running. All told, it's a welcome improvement, 
though it would be nice if users could run Modern UI-style Windows 8 apps on more than one 
monitor at a time. Also, if users do have a multi-monitor setup, they will find it's trickier than 
usual to pull up the Charms Bar using a mouse.


Other Changes

Windows Explorer is now called File Explorer, and bears the same Ribbon UI 
already used in Microsoft apps like Office and Paint. 
There's also now a File History feature, which stores versions of files similar to Time Machine 
in Apple's OS X. 
The Task Manager has also received a makeover so that when users first launch it, all they see 
is a list of open apps. 
Nothing about processes or memory usage just a list of programs, and an "End task" button. 
Click "More details," though, and users will see a half-dozen tabs, showing them everything from 
performance graphs to CPU usage to running processes. 
In the processes tab, in particular, there are four columns showing CPU, memory, disk andnetwork 
usage, with the resource hogs highlighted in a darker color.

One thing that hasn't changed : the keyboard shortcuts. The same ones users relied on in 
Windows 7 will work here, which should take some of the sting out of getting used to a new 
user interface.




Built-in apps


Mail

Setting up the Mail app is easy

If the Microsoft ID users use to initially sign in is tied to Gmail, or some other service not run 
by Microsoft, it automatically prompts users for their email password. 
In the case of Gmail, it had the option of syncing Google contacts and Calendar as well. 
There are also easy setup options for Hotmail, Outlook.com, Yahoo and AOL, though users can 
add accounts from other services too. 
Even if users don't link a Hotmail or Outlook account, the Mail app will import all their folders 
and labels everything, really, but their starred items, in Gmail. 
Those folders take up just a narrow pane on the left side of the screen. 


Calendar

As promised, when users chose to sync our Google contacts and Calendar, their appointments
all promptly showed up in the built-in Calendar app. 
The default view is by month, which is a bit too busy for tastes users can only see two 
appointments per day, even if there are many more. 
If users are creating an appointment from scratch, they will have the same 
options as if they were doing this online everything from date to time slot to reminder alerts.



People

The People app doubles as an address book and a one-stop shop for social networking 
updates. Using the settings menu in the Charms Bar, users can link all sorts of accounts things 
like Google, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. Obviously, the more of these services users 
connect, the more contacts will pop up in their People Hub. 
All told, it works similarly to the People Hub in Windows Phone, which is to say everyone they 
know gets a contact card that pulls in all available forms of contact everything from email to a 
Twitter handle. 

When users open People Hub they will see their contacts arranged in alphabetical order, and 
they scroll from left to right to move through the list. 
As with the Start Screen, users can use pinch-to-zoom to shrink a long list. In this case, users 
won't see every contact onscreen just a tile for each letter of the alphabet, making it easier to 
jump to a certain part of their list.



IE 10


In Windows 8, users get not one, but two versions of the IE 10 browser: one for the desktop, 
and a more touch-friendly one that lives on the Start Screen. Both versions have a 
Chrome-like setup, with a single bar for URLs and web searches. The two also sync with each 
other, which wasn't the case in earlier builds of the OS.

There are, as users can imagine, some UI differences. In the desktop version, though, adding a 
tab is as easy as pressing a plus sign. In the more touch-optimized version, users swipe from 
the top of the screen to expose open tabs, or open a new one. 
IE 10 also has a feature allowing users to either swipe or click an onscreen arrow button to 
proceed to the next page, whether that's the next page of search results or the next page in a 
news story broken up into nine pieces.

As far as content goes, IE 10 is HTML5-based, though the desktop version supports Flash and 
Silverlight as well. In the touch-friendly version of the browser, only certain sites on the 
Compatibility View list support Flash.  
Flash exceptions list at least includes popular sites like YouTube and Vimeo. 
And besides, with HTML5 being as everywhere as it is, users really shouldn't run into any 
issues.

From a privacy standpoint, Do Not Track comes enabled by default, which means sites can 
only track and collect users private data if they go out of their way to turn off 
"Do Not Track."


Camera


Windows' built-in camera app is simple: a full-screen frame, with a few options always visible 
at the bottom. These include a timer, video mode and a "change camera" toggle. There's also 
a "camera options" icon, but from there you can only switch the resolution or choose another 
audio recording option, if applicable.

Right now, at least, there are no photo filters, like sepia, and nothing in the way of HDR or 
panorama mode. The camera app is also missing tap-to-focus, which can be a minor nuisance 
or an unfortunate problem, depending on the tablet users are using. 


SkyDrive

In addition to creating a dedicated SkyDrive app for Windows 8, Microsoft made over the 
browser version of its cloud storage service. As ever, people signing up for a new Microsoft 
account get 7GB of free lifetime storage. However, if you recall, folks who had previously 
uploaded files as of April 22 of this year had the option of opting into 25GB of storage. If 
users are already enthusiastic about Windows and the Microsoft ecosystem at large, chances 
are this describes them.

Whether users log in online or use the Win 8 app, each folder or file takes the form of a tile. 
When using the browser, these tiles sit as a grid, with the various thumbnails stacked on top 
of each other. In the Windows 8 app, users scroll through them horizontally by default, though 
they can also view them in list format. Whichever app they use, they can upload or download 
files, as well as create new folders. With the web version, though, users can also create a new 
Word document, PowerPoint presentation, Excel spreadsheet or OneNote workbook something
users can't do in the Win 8 app.



Messaging


Messaging is users native IM app. For now, users can link it with Microsoft Messenger or 
Facebook chat. Though it would be nice to add Google Talk, the way users can add their Gmail 
address in the Mail app.


Photos

Similar to the People app, Photos pulls in pictures from all sorts of sources: Facebook, Flickr, 
SkyDrive and users PC's local storage. As a portal for viewing and sharing photos, it's great. 
Users can run a slide show, and use the context-aware sharing feature in the Charms Bar to 
easily upload pics to Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and other websites. Users can also pull in pics 
from another PC they may own so long as they install the SkyDrive desktop client on that 
system and select the checkbox next to "Let me use SkyDrive to fetch any of my files on this 
PC."

Additionally, users can also share photos through email. It's also easy to select photos to 
upload in batches just swipe the top of the screen to expose the app settings, and then hit 
"Select all." If users want to remove an item from the list, just uncheck it. All in all, the app is 
easy to use, though more editing tools would be nice.



Games, Music and Video


Through these apps, users can buy music, movies and Xbox Live games, with the additional 
option of renting some movies. For now, Windows Phone games are not supported in the way
users can play some iOS games on both iPhones and iPads. It would seem logical of Microsoft to eventually 
make its Windows Phone games available on Windows 8 devices, but for now, users will have to 
download different sets of apps for their tablet and smartphone.

Out of the box, Microsoft's Music app includes free, ad-supported streaming, available in 15 
markets to start. Though the games compatibility is still somewhat compartmentalized, this 
music streaming feature will work across Windows 8, Windows Phone 8 and Xbox. Obviously, 
Microsoft has been in the business of selling music for some time, so by now its catalog is 
quite voluminous at 30 million songs. If you like, you can purchase Xbox Music Pass, an 
ad-free subscription, for $10 a month. Under this plan, your songs will follow you from device 
to device, just like the rest of your settings. Here, you'll also get the option of downloading 
music and listening to it offline, which you can't do with the free, ad-supported service. 
Similar to iTunes, too, Music includes a matching feature that takes music you already had 
stored on your computer and finds the cloud-based version.

Though it's not installed on Windows 8 machines out of the box, you can download 
Microsoft's SmartGlass app, which lets you stream music and video to an Xbox, using your 
Windows 8 device as a remote. All told, it's not unlike Apple's AirPlay, though SmartGlass has 
the added benefit of not being limited to multimedia playback. You can also use it with 
Internet Explorer, in which case you also have the option of using an on-screen keyboard 
within the app.



Bing Apps: Search, Map, News, Sports, Weather, Finance and Travel

Peppered around the Start Screen, users will find a handful of Bing-powered apps: Search, Map, 
News, Sports, Weather, Finance and Travel. Starting with search, the screen is so minimal that 
users have to tap to expose the search bar. At the bottom of the screen are a handful of trending 
topics users can always click more, and then scroll through them from left to right, as users 
would with anything else in Windows 8. Maps has aerial and road view options, with a street 
traffic option. By default, it will show users current location, though users can of course search
for any point of interest they like. There are also turn-by-turn directions, which appear as a 
banner at the top of the screen that users can scroll through from left to right.

Scroll from side to side in the travel app and users see featured destinations, panoramic 
photos and travel-related news stories. If users want more personalized information, though , 
users can swipe down from the top of the screen to choose a specific destination, or focus on 
a different part of the travel-planning process, like flight- or hotel-booking.


The weather app is a geek's heaven, with a mix of hourly forecasts, maps and graphs. Users can 
add a location manually, or let the radios on users device figure it out. Finally, Bing Finance 
does just what users would expect it shows top market news, along with overviews of the major 
indices, though users can also create a personalized watchlist making it easy to check on their
stocks at a glance.


Windows Store


Navigating the store feels like using any other Windows 8 app users will start off by seeing 
recommended apps, along with tiles for new releases and the top free apps. Keep scrolling to 
the right and users will see apps broken down by category, such as social or entertainment. If 
users are less in the mood to meander and more in the mood to find something specific, users 
can search in one of two ways users can swipe the Charms Bar and select the Search option, 
or they can just start typing. Yep, in the same way users can start typing to find something on 
the Start Menu, they can start typing to look up an app. If it's in the app store, it'll show up in 
the search results as a recommended pick. As convenient as that is, though, users can only do 
it on the main page of the Windows Store. Select a page like "Top Free Games" and that search 
method no longer works usersll have to use the Charms Bar instead.



System requirements

Windows 8 requires 1GB of RAM and 20GB of free disk space. Other system requirements 
include a 1GHz processor that supports PAE, NX, and SSE2 1,366 x 768 resolution and 
DirectX 9 graphics. If users re upgrading their current machine, they can be running an OS as 
old as XP with Service Pack 3. 

Microsoft warns that if users upgrading from XP or Vista, they will need to re-install 
their apps.

What's less clear is whether users current laptop's trackpad will support Windows 8 gestures. 
Some existing PCs will benefit from updated drivers that let users perform all the Windows 
8-specific motions from their trackpad.


Pricing and versions


Finally, though this is a review of Windows 8, the new version of Windows for traditional, 
x86-based PCs, it's worth acknowledging Windows RT for ARM-based devices, and also 
summarizing the differences. 
In short, the two operating systems have the same look and feel, with the same UI, gestures 
and native apps. The chief difference is that Windows RT can't run apps written for x86-based 
PCs. Additionally, not all the apps in the Windows Store can run on both Win 8 and RT devices.
Fortunately, all Windows RT devices come with a version of Office 2013 modified for 
Windows RT.




                         WINDOWS 7

Operating System              WINDOWS 7

 Processor                          1GHZ

Harddisk                           16GB

Display                            1024X768                

Graphics                                 DirectX 9  

Ram                                        1GB



As the release candidate of Windows 7 beckons, take a look at some of the best features we can look forward to in 
Microsoft’s new operating system.

The windows 7 has important business features that will be coming to the operating system (OS), but 
now look some of the most compelling overall end-user features that will make a difference to users on the desktop. 
Some are small, and some are major, but taken all together it makes for the most exciting upgrade for Windows users 
since the arrival of Windows XP.



Speed

Even aside from incompatibilities and other issues that many people had with Vista, one of the most straightforward 
was speed – it just felt too sluggish compared to XP, even on pumped up hardware. Windows 7 brings a more responsive 
and sprightly feel and Microsoft has spent a lot of time and effort getting the Start Menu response just right.

Microsoft has also recognised the need for improved desktop responsiveness, which gives the impression that the 
computer is responding to the user and that they are in control – something that was often lacking with Vista.

Users can also expect faster boot times. And the boot sequence is now not only prettier than it was with Vista, but 
it’s speedier too.



Compatibility

In simple terms, compatibility on Windows 7 will be far better than it was with Vista. Many programs that 
individuals and companies used on Windows XP did not work immediately and required updates, but with Windows 7 
almost all applications that work on Vista should still run.

In essence, Windows Vista has done most of the hard work for Windows 7 in this respect.



Lower Hardware Requirements

Vista gained a reputation for making even the beefiest hardware look rather ordinary. Windows 7, however, will run 
well on lower end hardware, making the transition from Window XP less painful.

Microsoft is even pushing Windows 7 for netbooks. This could provide a modern replacement for Windows XP, which has 
found a new lease of life as the OS of choice on netbooks, supplanting Linux. The downside is that Windows 7 Starter 
Edition, as it will be called, will be limited to only three applications running at the same time.



Search and organisation

One of the best things about Windows 7 is the improved search tool, which now rivals Mac OS X’s Spotlight to be able 
to find what users need quickly and easily. For example, typing ‘mouse’ will bring up the mouse option within the 
control panel or typing a word will display it and split it up neatly into files, folders and applications.

Also introduced is the concept of Libraries, which takes the ‘My Documents’ concept a stage further. The various 
Libraries, such as Documents and Pictures, will watch multiple locations which users can add theirself, so you don’t 
have to keep everything in one place.





TaskBar/Start menu

At first glance, the task bar looks like nothing has much has changed since Vista. In fact, that’s not the case and 
it’s a lot more powerful. Microsoft is now making best use of its aero technology. By default, taskbar icons are now 
larger and items are grouped together and are not labelled with clumsy text.

If user have multiple Word documents or Windows Explorer windows open then users will see a stack appear on the task bar. 
Hover the mouse over the app and each Window will be visible in a thumbnail. Hover over each thumbnail and it will 
become visible, while all other open windows temporarily disappear, save for their outlines. Users can close each 
document or Window down from the thumbnail directly or click on it to bring it to the front.

Even better, this works with individual tabs in Internet Explorer 8, though unfortunately not Firefox.

Right clicking gives a 'Jump menu', giving users speedily access to recent documents and users can pin apps of their 
choice directly to the taskbar.

In the Start menu, a small arrow to the right of applications such as Word now expands to give a list of recent 
documents and any can be pinned so users can keep one permanently on the list.





Aero-Shake

Our favourite new visual feature is called ‘Aero Shake’. If users have a multitude of Windows open but want to focus 
on just the one you can all users have to do is grab it by the title bar (at the top) and shake with the mouse. This 
minimises all the other Windows leaving just the one users have grabbed on the desktop.




Stacking

Another great touch is Stacking. Users simply drag a Window to the sides of their screen and it will stick 
automatically to the side filling half the screen, making it quick and easy to view documents side by side. Move to 
the top and it will maximise to the whole screen.




Peace from UAC

Vista’s User Account Control (UAC) was one of the headline annoyances in Windows Vista. In a reaction to malware 
problems, the Windows designers introduced the UAC, a dialogue box that popped up every time you made any changes to 
Windows when installing apps. It proved quite annoying, especially to power users who tended to turn it off straight 
away, thereby negating any benefit it might have.

In Windows 7, a slider has been added, enabling users to tone down its nagging factor, making you less likely to 
turn it off completely. It works too and one or two notches down should be enough for most. In this state it 
actually gives more confidence that your OS is looking after you.




Gamma Curve

The display properties now boast a useful gamma curve feature enabling Users to calibrate their display. Set aside 10 
minutes to go through it carefully and users can really give their monitor image a boost, which will pay dividends when 
they are sitting in front of a screen all day. Think of it as a free monitor upgrade.



Touch

The most whizz-bang visual feature to come to Windows 7 is its touch capability. This of course will only be 
available to those with a touch enabled PC, such as HP’s Touch Smart range, but for those suitably equipped it will 
provide a new way of interacting with their PC.

The video will let users open apps from the taskbar, scroll up and down by flicking, and zoom and rotate pictures by 
holding and turning. Tap and holding reveals ‘right-click’ context menus. At present, it’s mainly used for kitchen 
based media centres but it could add a whole new wow factor to corporate presentations – at least until the novelty 
wears off.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 


Although Windows Vista is only scheduled for retail release on January 30th, 2007, there are 
already a lot of reviews for Windows Vista, or you can have a feel on Windows Vista by test 
driving Windows Vista Business for evaluation, where you can play around the Windows Vista 
desktop via a virtual console, just like you remote control a Vista machine. With sleek and 
stunning graphic user interface and lots of new features and improvements, Windows Vista 
has strives a more secure, more usable, more user friendly and more attractive operating 
system. It’s no wonder the Windows Vista system requirements, especially premium version 
will make your jaw dropped.
If you’re still unsure of whether to upgrade to Windows Vista, or still blur about what’s so 
unique about features and functions in Windows Vista that not available somewhere else, an 
article on vista-hq.com lists out the top 10 new features in Windows Vista that you cannot find 
in other operating system such as Windows XP.




New User Experience, including Windows Aero


Windows Vista features four different levels of user experience—Basic, Windows Classic, 
Standard, and Windows Aero. All controls are totally redesigned in Windows Vista and look 
even better now. The Aero user interface is the top of the line and takes advantage of the 
latest advances in computer hardware. On computers equipped with graphics hardware that 
supports the new Windows Driver Display Model (WDDM), the Aero provides more stability 
and smoother window handling. The main element of this interface is the transparent glass 
design, with subtle effects such as dynamic reflections and smooth animations.



Windows Sidebar

The Windows Sidebar can be positioned on the right or on the left side of users screen and its 
associated with mini-applications called gadgets, that provide specific information. Like for 
example, the gadgets can give users info on the weather, show users the calendar, games, a 
calculator or all types of other tools. The Sidebar fits perfectly especially on widescreen 
monitors. It can be easily customized and users can add different types of gadgets. Gadgets are 
a new concept introduced in Windows Vista. They can connect to web services to deliver 
business data, weather information, news updates, traffic maps, Internet radio streams, and 
even slide shows of online photo albums. By default, the OS comes with a set number of 
gadgets to get users started, but users can always download more from an online gadget 
gallery.



The Instant Desktop Search

The Instant Search is a new feature that will help userd find whatever they are looking for. It is 
available almost everywhere in Windows Vista, in the Explorer Dialogs, in the Start Menu, 
pretty much in every system window. Using it, users can type a file name, a property, or even 
text contained within a file, and it returns pinpointed results. Besides that, the Instant Search 
also arranges the results depending on their current activity, whether it’s searching for music 
files in Media Player, or looking over all users files and applications on the Start Menu.

On the Start Menu, the Instant Search box is located at the lower left corner, and instead of 
going through all the programs installed in order to find the one users are looking for, users can 
just type its name in the box and as they type, Windows Vista instantly searches file and 
application names, metadata, and the full text of all files, and it displays the search results. It 
searches through everything – Applications; Favorites/Internet History; Files, including 
documents and media; and Communications, including email, events, tasks, and contacts.




Windows Defender

Windows Defender is a features that protects users computer from pop-ups, slow performance, 
and security threats caused by spyware. It works by monitoring key system locations for 
changes that signal the presence of spyware. The auto-update option will make sure that the 
Defender has all the latest spyware definitions from Microsoft. The interface is simple and 
easy to use, making daily tasks like as scanning, blocking, and removing unwanted software 
easier than ever. It has a built in Software Explorer that determines which software and 
services are running on users computer and stops or disables “rogue” software.

It works in co-operation with Internet Explorer with the “Scan on execute” feature. This 
feature provides an added layer of protection, by scanning all downloaded files before they 
are saved and executed, thus reducing the chance that spyware might be installed by accident.



Performance Center


The Performance Center is a brand new tool that gives information on the PC’s performance 
characteristics and can manage and troubleshoot performance issues. The very interesting 
thing here is the WinSPR, or Windows System Performance Rating. Depending on users rating,
users can determine if a given application can run on their machine. For example, if users have 
some of the latest hardware, their rating can reach 4.2 and it that case, any software with 
4.2 or lower WinSPR will run smoothly on their computer.



Backup and Restore

This new functionality makes it possible for users to keep their information safe from user error, 
hardware failure, and other issues that can result in data loss. There are several layers of 
protection to ensure maximum effectiveness. From the Backup and Restore control panel, 
users can enable the auto feature which automatically caches previous versions of  files to an 
image-based backup of their entire computer. Later, users can browse and search for files to 
restore from a backup.

Another great new feature allows users to access previous versions of files without even 
having a backup. This is possible through the Volume Shadow Copy technology. If users want 
to do that manually, then users will have to use the File Back Wizard in which users select the 
types of files they want to backup, specify a storage folder and start the process at any point 
users want. There is also an automatic scheduling function.

The system restore feature can reverse system changes, but still preserving users data in its 
current state.



Network Map

The Network Map is a new feature inside the Network Center that displays graphically users 
connectivity to the network and to the Internet. If a computer on the network loses Internet 
connectivity, users can graphically see which connection is down and then use Network 
Diagnostics to help determine the cause of the problem and find possible solutions.

This is especially useful if users have a network of wired and wireless PCs and devices. With 
the Network Map users can increase the performance of the network and easily spot problems.



Windows ReadyBoost

ReadyBoost is a brand new technology that comes with Windows Vista. It’s a whole new 
concept that will change the way people add memory to a system. With ReadyBoost, users 
can use USD flash as RAM to extend system memory and improve performance. So instead of 
buying RAM and opening computer, users can just plug the Flash. Plus, most motherboards 
have just two RAM slots, which will be taken anyway.

Utilizing this technology is simple. Just plug the Flash in the USB slot and Windows Vista will 
check to determine if its performance is fast enough to work with Windows ReadyBoost. If 
that’s the case, then users will be asked if they want to use this device to speed up system 
performance. ReadyBoost is reliable as well as secure. Users won’t loose any data, and the 
system will restore to its original level of performance when the Flash is removed. There is no 
wearing on the USB drive, because of the specifically optimized algorithms used.



Windows ReadyDrive

Windows ReadyDrive takes advantage of the latest hybrid hard drives to provide faster 
boot-ups by writing data to the flash memory on the hybrid hard disk, which lessens the 
amount of spinning for the mechanical hard drive, thus saving battery power. And also 
increases the life of users hard drive. With a hybrid drive, Windows Vista can resume more 
quickly from Sleep because data can be restored from flash memory faster than from the 
spinning mechanical hard drive.



Windows Media Center

For a large number of users, the PC has become mostly a source of entertainment, that users 
can enjoy by sitting back with a remote control in hand. That’s not something strange 
considering the enormous amount of media files that users can download online. The 
Windows Media Center enables users to enjoy live and recorded TV, music, photos, videos, 
and online entertainment on a single device. It can also be connected to Xbox 360 allowing 
users to transfer this experience in other rooms of their home.

It’s integrated in the Home Premium and Ultimate editions of Windows Vista and also offers 
built-in support for archiving TV shows to DVD. It takes advantage of the very latest 
technologies including a support for widescreen and high-definition (HD) displays. There are 
three separate sections – music, digital photos, TV and movies. In the Music section, users can 
quickly browse their music by artist, song, or album title, as well as by genre, composer, or 
year. Regarding the photos, Windows Media Center can turn their simple photo collection into 
a cinematic slide show that can be shared on the television in the living room. On top of that, 

WMC provides seamless experience when watching their favorite television shows and movies.
