Installing Windows 8 is a bit different than installing the previous version of Windows. Windows 7 you could install without entering a product key, but when you install Windows 8 you are required to fill in a key right-away. For a normal installation that doesn't matter much. But if you only want to experiment with Windows 8 for testing purposes, or for any other reason only will have it installed on your computer for a brief period, then it's a different question.
As a non-Windows user who’s forced to use Windows on regular occasion, there can often be problems or limitations about the OS that can cause you to throw your hands up in frustration. I’ve been there. But in this quick article, I’m going to talk about some free apps that will help you introduce some new-found power to the OS.
Google's latest mobile OS, Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, gets reviewed - it's the most refined version of Android yet.
With technology constantly advancing, it's no surprise we can protect our homes from miles — sometimes states — away. The latest high-tech security tools are easy to install, easy to operate and can be controlled from Internet-connected smartphones. That's right, your phone can now control your home security.
iOS, Android und teils Windows Phone beherrschen den Markt der mobilen Betriebssysteme. Bada, MeeGo oder PalmOS konnten sich hingegen nicht durchsetzen. Trotz der starken Führung von Apple, Google und Microsoft, hat sich Mozilla zum Ziel gesetzt, zu diesen Größen dazuzugehören. Firefox OS soll nicht wie die versiegten Betriebssysteme nur eine Randerscheinungen sein. So setzt Mozilla höchste Priorität auf das Projekt, welches erst kürzlich den Alpha-Status erreichte. In diesem Zusammenhang möchten wir einen ersten Blick auf das Betriebssystem werfen.
Seit der Veröffentlichung von True Image 2012 ist nun ein gutes Jahr vergangen und Acronis hat am 27. August 2012 die Version 2013 für den Verkauf und Test freigegeben. Somit ist diese Version noch vor dem 26. Oktober erhältlich, denn dann steht bekanntermaßen Windows 8 in den Verkaufsregalen. Da stellen wir uns natürlich die Frage, ob diese Version das neuste Betriebssystem aus Redmond tatsächlich schon hinreichend unterstützt. Im Artikel Acronis True Image 2013 im Praxistest haben wir uns mit den grundlegenden Funktionen, dem Erstellen und Wiederherstellen eines System-Backup, befasst. In diesem zweiten Teil werden wir uns mit einer weiteren, nicht unerheblichen Funktion der Software, dem Anlegen von Online-Backups näher beschäftigen. Das Thema ist sehr komplex und würde den Rahmen des ersten Teils sprengen, weshalb wir uns für einen zweiten Part entschieden haben. Ob True Image 2013 diese Anforderung erfüllt, erfahrt ihr in diesem ausführlichen Praxis Test Part II. Dazu wünschen wir euch wieder viel Spaß...
With Windows 8, Microsoft is steering its operating system into a radically different direction. In the last ten years we've seen a shift from desktop PCs to notebooks, and now some are prophesising the end of the PC era as smartphones and tablets are becoming increasingly commonplace. While Microsoft is the dominant player in the x86 operating system market, the software giant has had little success with smartphone and tablet products, these markets are largely dominated by Apple's iOS and Google's Android operating systems. With its back against the wall, Microsoft decided to make a major gamble by making massive changes to the user interface of Windows 8 to make it more usable on touch-based mobile devices.
| Graphics cards in Windows 8 and DirectX 11.1: more efficient with better performance @ Hardware.info |
The most important improvements are primarily in the areas of 2D graphics and energy consumption. If you mainly use your PC for 3D graphics and don't care much about energy usage, you probably wonder whether there is any relevant innovation in that area. And the answer is no, unfortunately. You do get native support for 3D displays in DirectX 11.1, so developers no longer have to rely on parties such as Nvidia 3D Vision and Tridef and instead can realise this directly within DirectX. In theory this will create a unified standard for 3D displays, which should benefit video game developers. Hopefully it will make the 3D implementation more bug- and hassle-free as well, with less tweaking required on the part of gamers.
