WINDOWS 8.1 AND WHY YOU NEED TO UPDATE REGULARLY

Posted by Unknown Minggu, 20 Oktober 2013 0 komentar

It is a thing of marvel to me sometimes when i pick a friend’s laptop and I see a lot of applications crying out to be updated. It’s like having some windows open inviting some intuitive hackers to invade your privacy whenever they feel like. But for crying out loud an operating system should not be left without being updated for a long time, whether Mac, Linux or Windows. Application updates are meant to give you the latest security patches and bug fixes thereby making your online or offline experiences as secured as possible.

This write-up here will be concerned with Windows update. According to Microsoft, Windows 8 was built to bring a modern computing experience to businesses and to help professionals stay connected to their colleagues and clients from anywhere anytime. The update to Windows 8.1 advances this vision and introduces new manageability, mobility, security, user experience and networking capabilities that will be available later this year – with the goal of offering customers the best business tablets and versatile modern business PCs driven by the most powerful operating system designed for today’s modern businesses. Personally on my part upgrading to Windows 8 took me quite a while but when I did I was happy I did. The reason is not far-fetched; with my daily usage of a smartphone, having the experience translated to my pc was a delight as it made some operations quite fluid.

Notable features to watch out in Windows 8.1

Windows 8.1 will come with some nice features both for corporate and personal use. Only some features will highlighted here and mostly those that will be on personal use.

Tethering

At last windows brings tethering to the PC without the need for third party applications. You can now turn your PC to a hotspot after updating to Windows 8.1 and have other devices tap into your internet connection if you so wish.

Improved bio-metrics

Like it or not bio-metrics as a security feature has come and to stay. Though this feature is not new and has been on previous versions of windows some thoughtful improvements have been made here. Windows 8.1 will also be optimized for fingerprint based bio-metrics and will include a common fingerprint enrollment experience that will work with a variety of readers (touch, swipe). Modern readers are touch based rather than swipe and include liveliness detection that prevents spoofing (e.g.: silicon emulated fingerprints). Access to Windows Store Apps, functions within them, and certificate release can be gated based on verification of a user’s bio-metric identity.

Improved internet explorer

Microsoft says the improvements in Internet Explorer 11 will make it load faster, with a side-by-side browsing of sides (what I call multitask browsing).

Desktop and start screen

For those who prefer the mouse and keyboard experience, you've have not been left out as improvements have been made to accommodate you.
