However, not only in terms of tools for the programming of new applications of Windows for tablets is that the new version of the operating system Microsoft has something to offer in the coming months, but in another category: the most famous SO package, called Windows Live Essentials.

Disney to Microsoft: Windows 8 advertising
Windows 8
Today no one can deny that if there is a way to get an achievement in the world economy, she can not turn his back on the progress of knowledge in mercadotecnica. Marketing and advertising have now established itself at the center of strategies for product placement in the market wisely.
This is explained by progressive value that is acquiring the image in contemporary societies. Many authors talk about it. Words such as "society of spectacle", "company image", etc.., Tell us that today reality and fiction, the essence and appearance, are no longer two terms of an adversarial relationship, but rather hybridization elements seem not enable distinction. Twilight of the limits to the distinctions, and eclecticism are the most characteristic of cultural innovations of our day.

Metro Interface for Windows 8 tablets
Metro Interface
As many know, the D9 Conference held a few days ago has officially confirmed that the next Windows 8 will, in the case of tablets, with the interface Metro. This interface has been known for its friendly face and ease of use. But also for their aesthetics. Is that in terms of design imaging, the interface is characterized by Metro subdividing the screen into rectangular blocks of colors. These blocks have a constantly updated information. This concept has been called "Live Tiles".
Our fingers will be responsible for interacting with these rectangles friendly, with the possibility of two or more applications open at once. This notion of simultaneity allows, smoothly, users can make use of different functions simultaneously without hindrance of any kind.
But what catches the attention of this novelty is not so much what has been said here, but that these issues-designed for devices with touchscreen-functionality will also have regular PCs, where users must use mice and keyboards. This would indicate that today is being a trend medial transgression of limits, where implemented in a new type of devices are translated without remainder in other devices.
This phenomenon of perfect translation leads to tablets to implement elements of smartphones, smartphones and desktop PCs.

Intel Denies
Undoubtedly everyone interested in the upcoming Windows 8 look forward to future Windows Developer Conference, to be held in September this year. Such a conference creates expectations since it will be the official space in which Microsoft may confirm, deny and confirm news that today exist only in the funny habit of secrecy, the transmission of information via filtration, and the image of the snowball.
This way it circulates information on the latest Microsoft operating system has led to several conflicts, thus giving rise to the question of the status of truth of statements that are filtered.
Clearly this can be seen with the latest news that Intel has released people, whose resonances news found even in this blog. As you remember, Intel had spread the idea that the upcoming Windows 8 would be incompatible with applications created in other versions of Windows on ARM systems.

Restrictions paradoxical in Windows 8
Windows 8
Although Microsoft is not confirmed from any of the rumors that are circulating on the web in recent months, one might pay attention as a strategy of information to its members who can not refrain from largar news online. As have adopted the strategy of surprise to create greater acceptance by users in their expectation, everything said here will always be taken as conjecture.
Now it has released a novelty on the next Windows 8. That being said this new version will not have already with the "compatibility mode" necessary for users to make use of applications created in earlier versions of Windows. This elimination of "backward compatibility" must be judged on what version of Windows 8're talking about: ARM or PCs
In the first case, that is to tablets, this removal does not harm to users. Indeed, the tablets which will go towards the latter Windows 8 will be those called "slate" (no keyboard). Here the old applications, which the new restrictions would not work again, do not usually have the best performance. They were designed for computers with mouse and keyboard, so that its translation into ARM equimos always generates conflicts.
In the second case things are not so simple. Since users actually find it very useful application use "old". Thus, although the positive reading is often said that this restriction will force developers to increase productivity exponentially, is limited to PC users illegitimately.

Rumors. What gray matter involved. Many falsehoods and many truths are hidden behind them. Rumors make the communicative life of people. They can take the character of large anticipatory self-fulfilling prophecies, according to the happy development of a thinker of the twentieth century but also to say things that will never be certain-the famous "sold smoke" -. When the information circulating in the rumor comes on its sustancialidades polymorphous, you never know what will happen in the future. The rumor always routed to the future and anticipation.

Capturing History Vault, Windows 8
History Vault
More news next Windows 8. Nobody can keep up with this type of product news leaks of images that are waiting for this new version will offer Microsoft's operating system each time a little less tolerable. In this case the image that we make available to users is a screenshot of the "History Vault", an option that will have the Windows user recueprar 8 for lost files, deleted, or missing for whatever reason.
We said a few words of this new option. For example, the function that will fulfill the History Vault is an imitation of back-upp system from Apple called Time Machine. Or actually Windows already provides, in fact, a function very similar back-upp in which users can retrieve the files using the "Shadow copies" or "snapshots" which are copies of previous versions of files and folders . How do I access them? By clicking "Previous Versions" in the document / folder, etc.., Etc.
Only to be the most important innovation, the commitment undertaken by Windows, which has to do with the interface back-upp system is more than relevant and that users may access the drafts the same, as in image merges all the news. Obviously, users may notice a certain state of work in progress that shows the interface. Read more
Changes in the Task Manager in Windows 8
AT Windows 8
In so stale OS and complex rhyme-by-such as Microsoft Windows, many functions that once were thought of as real innovations that revolutionized the minds of his day may, with the passing of the years, become stagnant. This stagnation is not a natural process, as when we speak of the life process of organisms, but finds its causes in market decisions of the company that produces and distributes the product.
Some of this can be seen in the case of the Windows Task Manager. Since ancient version of 2000 had not found any change, improvement, "aggiornamiento" but as a kind of old, this function was deprecated. Not so much because users will not be important a tool like this, but because from "above" there were no specific orders for a transformation. Until today.
As catches have been leaked that allow us to deduce some changes that Windows 8 will apply to the task manager.

The realidadficción, that is, the indifference between what happens "really" and what happens "virtually", has made human mobility so that, with so much traveling, Windows developers offer their users the possibility.
But the complications begin immediately as soon as we rest in the happiness of the new.
Well, first of all, users must have extremely large USB drives.
