Will Microsoft be able
to break Apple’s hold on the tablet space?
With the advent of Windows 8 it may be able to do so.
Desktop Familiarity
The ground running
reason why the PC users will shift to Windows 8 tablet is because they are
accustomed to Microsoft Operating System. Once you tap on the desktop
interface, you’ll be greeted with the familiar interface.
Undoubtedly, Android
and iOS have user friendly interface, but Windows 8 is something out of box.
There is no learning curve and you don’t have to fiddle here and there to learn
about the operating system.
The desktop familiarity
lends a sense of convenience that is completely reassuring. You know your way
for instance, My Computer is where you store your files and Recycle Bin is a place
where all your deleted items are stored.
The greatest perk is you
can install the same programs like Adobe Photoshop and Microsoft Office. The
only thing that has changed is instead of mouse, you will be using tap of your
finger. And that’s not even the slightest problem because there is nothing
known as wrong taps.
Device Support
Windows 8 has promised
to change the conventional concept of connectivity. For example, the ipad tablet
cannot be connected to iphone and Android tablet won’t be able to recognize the
camera. But with Windows 8 you can connect a camera and in built drivers will
recognize it instantly. You can also plugin printer into tablet USB port and
it’ll be detected. In fact, you can manage the other tablets with Windows 8 tablet.
Hook up iPad, My Nexus S or Nokia handset.
Data Transfer
Transferring files on
Windows, Linux or Mac PC is a simple activity in the arena of personal
computing. On an iPad there is no USB port and you have to carry a pen drive to
transfer the files, which can be bit daunting task. In case of Android, the
tablets proffer USB port; but you need an extra app known as file manager app
to use it properly.
But with Windows 8-you
can connect USB drive to the tablet and tap the notification to open the drive
and copy the stuff from Drive C to Drive D.
Multi Tasking
Multitasking has become
an essential ingredient. Microsoft Windows 8 is able to provide you an
advantage of multi tasking with an approach that is better than IOS and
Android.
When in a full screen with
the Metro app, you can swipe the screen and open the other app instantly. It
puts an original app in the mode of suspension, which in turn saves the
battery.
