The speed of the computers depends on a number of things, but it is proven that on the higher configuration computers, the Windows 8 operating system offers more improved performance than the Windows 7 operating system. This means that the booting time, time to open an application and the shutdown time are less in the Windows 8 operating system than Windows 7. This is the reason why the users, who have used the Windows 8 operating system, do not complain anything about the performance of the operating system. Users have complaint about the missing Start button and the Metro user interface.<br /><br />If you feel that your Windows 8 computer is running slow, you may contact the OmniTech Support team to improve the speed of your PC. There was recent news about OmniTech Support fraud, but these are just fake news and time will prove that the such reports about OmniTech Support fraud are completely wrong. OmniTech support is not involved in any fake tech support scams, but is a genuine tech support business.<br /><br /><b>Multimedia Performance</b><br /><br />In case of multimedia performance, the Windows 8 operating system might disappoint the users. This is because the 3D performance of the Windows 8 operating system is not as good as that of the Windows 7 OS. If you check 3D Mark 11on both these operating systems, you can be sure that Windows 7 operating system will win the race. But, Windows 8 is better while considering the overall multimedia performance. This can be checked using PCMark7 and you will see that Windows 8 is better than Windows 7 in case of multimedia performance.<br /><br />This means that the performance of the Windows 8 operating system depends on your needs and requirements. If you are a gamer and love 3D games, then Windows 7 will be the operating system of your choice. If you are already using the Windows 8 operating system and needs to improve the graphics performance of the computer, you may contact any reputed tech support firms. They will be able to help you improve the performance of your computer.<br /><br /> These are some of the important differences between the Windows 7 and Windows 8 operating systems.

If the junk email messages are bothering you, you can protect yourself against these by configuring the junk mail in the Outlook program. For instance, it can be that you get junk mail all the time from the same contact with advertisements, or other junk mails. In the Outlook program, users have the option to block these email messages so that they will not arrive in your inbox. If you make use of such a configuration, you will not have to delete all these junk emails from the inbox everyday from the Outlook program. The tips from Omnitech guides that are posted below will help you to know more on configuring the Outlook program for junk email messages.<br /><b><br />Instructions </b><br /><ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>In the Outlook window, click on the Tools tab located in the menu bar. </li>
<li>Select Options. </li>
<li>Now you will have to click on the Junk Email button. </li>

Since the time it came out, and even for a long time before its release, Windows 8 garnered a lot of attention. Everyone was talking about the new Windows operating system, and there were ads wherever you looked. However, this did not exactly help the sales much, though there were many people trying to figure out, if and how a Windows 8 upgrade was doable in their case.<br /><br />Here is a brief outlook on the over-hyped Windows 8 OS, to help you decide whether to download it or not.<br /><br /><b>Why do it, and why not?</b><br /><br />By now, everyone knows that Windows 8 is not an all-in-all OS, and neither does it work equally well on all devices. Decide what kind of computing experience you want while using your machine, like if speed is the only reason you are leaning towards an upgrade, or there is some problem with installing applications on the OS you currently use.<br /><br />If what you have now is Windows XP, then you should stick to it; you probably even want to. Unless you are using a Windows Vista or Windows 7 machine, an upgrade is not the answer for you. You could buy a new computer instead, which comes with Windows 8 installed. There is a high chance you can run Windows XP on it too. Just do not try running Windows 8 on a machine with under 1 GB RAM.<br /><br />And if you did not know already, Windows 8.1 is not something new that you have to buy separately. Its part of the package you get when you do an upgrade.<br /><b><br />Compatibility with Windows 8</b><br /><br />It is easy enough to download Windows 8, but you need to know if your computer can handle it. Microsoft has a tool, which lets you find out exactly that, called the Windows 8 Upgrade Assistant. It is available for download from the Microsoft website, and can be installed and run to check if your computer meets the requirements for Windows 8. It is mainly the hardware components that are checked, and you will get recommendations based on the test.<br /><br />The main requirements for Windows 8 are as follows:<br /><ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>1 GB of RAM for 32-bit, or 2 GB RAM for 64-bit</li>
<li>20 GB of free hard disk space</li>
<li>Graphics to make Direct X9 installable</li>
</ul>
You need to remember all this before making the leap to Windows 8. For more information on how to download and install Windows 8, check out other posts here.</div>

Windows 8 was by far the most anticipated operating systems developed by Microsoft. However, it did not leave up to its expectations at all. Windows 8 was considered a failure by many experts and users alike. There are varied reasons for its downfall though.<br /><br />One of the main reasons was the revolutionary changes brought in with Windows 8. Windows 7 and Windows 8 have a few things in common when it comes to the user interface and inbuilt features. When Windows 7 was such a huge hit, Windows 8 should have been something like an improvement on Windows 7 rather than a drastically different operating system.<br /><br />The whole modern, metro-ized, and advanced user interface was very new for most users. Some interface features were confusing and difficult to absorb. Besides that, some of the basic features in traditional Windows platforms were absent in Windows 8. This was another most disturbing thing in the new OS.<br /><br />There is no Start button or a Start menu in Windows 8. People became used to accessing applications through the Start menu. The new avatar, Start Screen, though offers easy navigation to pinned applications, was a lot puzzling to adjust with quickly. This seriously annoyed users who performed Windows 8 upgrade.<br /><br />Windows 8.1 was Microsoft’s attempt to resolve some of the glaring problems with Windows 8. Microsoft says that things are pretty much simplified with Windows 8.1 update, and it adds many new features in its predecessor OS. Unlike Windows 8 upgrade from previous versions, users can install the new update from Windows Store just as installing a Service Pack.<br /><br />Windows 8.1 is very similar to Windows 8, retaining all the applications on the desktop. This way, users need to worry about reinstalling the applications again after upgrading to Windows 8.1. However, it brings along some changes to the OS, aimed to rectify the issues with Windows 8.<br /><br />The omission of Start button was one of the biggest criticisms of experts and users alike. That is why the first thing Microsoft did with Windows 8.1 update was attaching a Start button on Windows 8 desktop. Another improvement noticed was in the gaming department, as Windows 8.1 supported high-end games like none of the operating systems ever did before.<br /><br /> However, no matter what the changes and new features added to Windows 8 are, the tiled-based interface still keeps users away from adopting it. Let us hope that Microsoft soon comes up with something, and regains its fame in the market, as it had some time ago.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Even though the Windows 8 operating system is approaching
nearly two years after release, it seems that many of the computer users are
reluctant to do the Windows 8 transfer. This operating system virtually has no
hope of becoming as popular as an operating system that was released in the
year 2001. Despite the fact that the Windows XP operating system is no longer
supported, the market share of this OS stands at 25.31% as of previous month.
That is an increase from 25.27 percent from May. In the mean time, the market share
of Windows 8 desktop operating system is just 5.93%, which is a drop from 6.29%
in the month of May.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Even though the Windows 8 operating system is three years
old, Windows 7 is by far the most popular desktop OS in the world and it occupies
over half of the pie with a market share of 50.55%. This is a rise from 50.6% in
May. Good news for Microsoft is that the popularity of the Windows 8.1
operating system is rising, but not by much. The market share of Windows 8.1
rose from 6-35% to 6.61% in June. There are likely two main releases for
Windows 8’s fall. The conventional Windows users were much dissatisfied with
the Metro interface and the missing Start button in the Windows 8 operating
system. This has made many of the users who have done the Windows 8 transfer
dissatisfied.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Numerous complaints were posted in the Windows support
forums regarding the missing Start button in Windows 8 and it seems that
Microsoft has heeded the complaints of their users. To resolve the complaints
in the Windows 8 OS, Microsoft released Windows 8.1 and apparently, the users
like Windows 8.1. OEMs are mostly selling computers loaded with Windows 8.1 as
opposed to the Windows 8 OS. Considering that Windows 8.1 is a free update for
the current Windows 8 owners, it is only natural that Windows 8 users would be
taking advantage of the freebie.</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Nevertheless, the
usage numbers of both Windows 8.1 and Windows 8 are small and it seems that it
will remain that way for the duration of their existence. If you wish to know more
on the market shares of different operating systems from Microsoft, you can
contact the Windows support number. </div>

Many experts have declared the latest Microsoft OS, Windows 8, a failure. And shockingly, the recent sales figures indeed support their alleges. However, the ‘modern’ platform is not that bad an OS as many claim it to be. It just happens to be completely different from any of the older Windows operating systems, which we have used so far.<br /><br />Microsoft took a bold decision to do away with the old desktop user interface, in favor of a new touch screen friendly UI. This led to the complete redesign of the Windows OS structure. If you upgrade to Windows 8, you will notice that there is no Start Menu or Task Bar in the new platform. Instead, you will see a tiled Start Screen for accessing apps in Win8, and a Charms bar to fill the gap of the traditional Task Bar.<br /><br />Their functions are also somewhat different than it was in the previous versions. Charms bar is hidden in the right side of the OS main screen. You need to swipe to the right side of the screen or move the cursor towards that direction to bring out the Charms bar to the screen.<br /><br /><b>What options does the Charms Bar provide?</b><br /><br />On the Charms bar, you will see a few options like Start, Search, Share, Devices, and Settings. Clicking on any of these options will open a new Window, where you can locate what you are looking for. For example, clicking on Start will take you to Start Screen.<br /><br />In Windows 8, Start Screen essentially replaces old Start Menu, which shows you all the applications installed in your system as live tiles. Of course, the option Search in Charms bar is used for searching anything in the system, but in the latest Windows OS, Microsoft has upgraded the Search utility by integrating it with their Bing search engine, which allows you to expand the search to the internet.<br /><br />The options Devices will take you to the page for accessing the options and settings for the different devices connected to your system. This is much like the Device Manager utility in the old Windows versions. The option Settings will take you to different OS options for WiFi, Language Settings, Power Options, Volume Control, etc. You can use the Share option to share anything with your friends online.<br /><br /> This was a short note on Win8 Charms bar.

Even though Windows 7 is considered as a fast operating system, it might slow down after a few months of use. When you find that your operating system is no longer performing the way it used to, then there are certain things that you could do to improve its speed. In this post, we will take you through these methods in detail.<br />
<br />
<b>Increase the cores</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
According to the Windows help center, during the boot process, the computer uses one core. Now, if your processor is a dual core processor, the operating system is not making use of the other core. However, if you wish to experience a quicker boot, you may set multiple cores for booting. Follow the steps below to implement this.<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Press the Windows logo key and R together to open the Run window. In the Run window, enter msconfig and click OK.</li>
<li>The above step opens the System Configuration Utility window. Select the tab Boot in the window and choose Advanced Options.</li>
<li>Choose Number of processors and type the number of processors. Select OK and then choose Apply. Restart your PC. </li>
</ul>
<b>Remove unwanted fonts</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
You can find many TrueType fonts in the operating system. Even though you may not use them, they would use your system resources, which could in turn affect its performance. Therefore, it is advisable to remove the other fonts. In order to remove the unwanted fonts, open the Control Panel window and go to the folder Fonts. You may move the unused fonts to a different folder.<br />
<br />
<b>Disable search indexing</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
The function of search indexing is to give you quicker results while searching. However, if you do not use the search function frequently, it is a good strategy to disable this feature. In order to disable it, open the Run window and type services.msc. Click the button OK. From the Windows services, locate the service Windows Search. Right click it and choose the option Disable.<br />
<br />
<b>Speed up shutdown</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
You can decrease the shutdown speed by making changes to the registry. Open the Run window and enter regedit. Click the button OK and this will launch the Registry Editor. Go to the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control and right click the option WaitToKillServiceTimeOut. The default value is 12 seconds. You may change this and enter a lower number. Select OK and restart your PC.<br />
<br />
With the above steps, you can improve the speed of your Windows 7 computer. For further assistance on Windows operating systems, you may contact the Windows help center or our technical support team. </div>

you to compose a new email message consisting of this boilerplate text. This
way, all you need to do is add relevant information in the form and customize
other content you wish to add for creating a brand new message.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

The Windows OS users are familiar with the Microsoft Help & Support button, normally found in the OS Start Menu. This Help and Support button takes you to the OS wizard, where you can find the links, tools and tutorial articles for dealing with the different OS problems, like where to find the OS options and features, how to connect devices to the system, etc.<br /><br />A similar Microsoft Help & Support option is present in the Windows 8 OS as well. Since Microsoft has removed the Start Menu from the new OS UI, it is not found in its usual place. All you need to do is just type the word Help from the Start Screen to the search function and you will soon the Help and Support link among the search results. Using the Help and Support app, you can easily figure out the different options and features in the Windows 8 OS.<br /><br /><b>About the Device settings in Windows 8 OS</b><br /><br />The Device Manager option in the old Windows operating systems was very simple to use. A similar option is available in the Windows 8 versions as well. In Windows 8 or Windows 8.1, you can use the PC Settings function to access the Device Manager options and settings. You just need to swipe to the right edge of the screen to launch the Charms bar.<br /><br />Among the Charms bar options, click on the Settings button. Here, click on the Change PC Settings option to launch the PC Settings menu on the screen. In the PC Settings menu, you will see many options for managing the OS settings. You need to click on the Devices option from this list. In Windows 8.1, there is a small change in these settings. You will find a separate PC and Devices settings and from there, you have to click the Devices option and so on.<br /><br />This will take you to the Device settings page, where you will see the option for adding a new device to the system, as well as a list of the all the devices you have currently installed in your system. You can change the configuration settings of any of these devices or add a new device to the systems using these options. This feature works just like the Device Manager function in the old Windows operating systems.<br /><br /> If you have any doubts regarding these Windows 8 options, visit the Microsoft support website online.</div>

The update for Bing Maps for Windows 8.1 is ready for download. Microsoft claims that the update has added a number of options that its software development team has been designing for the last few months. Although the update has nothing to do with improving Windows 8 features, it is a temporarily relief for those who complain about the scarcity of Windows 8 apps and features on the new devices.<br /><br /><b>New features added to Bing Map</b><br /><br />The features the update has added to Bing Map include integration of TripAdvisor, Yelp, personalized recommendation, list and details of cities in 3D, static search box and roaming favourites. The update is available in Windows Store. So, go to Windows Store and download it right away to have a glimpse of the new Bing Map.<br /><br /><b>Auto-suggest in Bing Map</b><br /><br />Another interesting thing with the updated Bing Map is its streamlined auto-suggest feature. For instance, when you type something in your Bing Search box, your past searches of addresses and locations will be popped up, simplifying the searches in a more personalized way. If you added any places or addresses to your favourite lists, the search would become even simpler. You will also be alerted about the popular places you might be interested to visit nearby the searched locations.<br /><br /><b>Integration with TripAdvisor and Yelp</b><br />The updated Bing Map is integrated with TripAdvisor and Yelp. Both of these utility services are favourites of most travellers. The integration of these services with Bing Maps can help you get professional advice regarding the nearby places you must visit when you make a trip to a particular place. It will also help you find a list of feasible accommodation facilities nearby the places you visit.<br /><br /><b>Roaming favourites </b><br /><br />The roaming favourite option with Bing Maps allows you to access the favourite list you have created in your Bing Maps app on any of the Windows device you use. So, if you can’t access your Windows powered laptop or tablet, no need to worry. Simply switch on your Windows mobile and access the favourite list. In order to enjoy this feature, you must enable it. For this, launch the updated version of Bing Maps, navigate to the Settings, and select the option that says Personalization.<br /><br /> Hope you got some info about the Bing Maps update now. Obviously, it is one of the simplest ways to improve your Windows 8 features.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
If you’re in the mainland China and looking to <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">install Windows 8</span> operating system on your
computer, then there is some good news for you. Recently the Chinese government
had released a new law banning the latest operating system from Microsoft, and
the company has been looking to work out something with the government. The
Chinese government issued a ban on using Windows 8 computers on state-owned
machines. This move was made from the Chinese government as a counterstrike on
Microsoft for taking out the support provided for Windows XP computers that
most of the Chinese people use.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
As of now, the officials from Microsoft are working hard to make the
government revoke the ban on Windows 8 operating system. Joanna Li of Microsoft
commented on the issue as follows, “Microsoft has been working proactively with
the Central Government Procurement Center and other government agencies through
the evaluation process to ensure that our products and services meet all
government procurement requirements. At the same time we are working on the <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">Windows 8 evaluation</span> with
relevant government agencies.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Central State Organs of Government Procurement Center first issued the
ban through an official notice that read, “All computer products are not
allowed to <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">install Windows
8</span> operating system.” Luckily for Microsoft the ban does not say anything
about the Windows 8.1 operating system. This means that there is no ban on the
Windows 8.1 operating system even though it is a revamped version of the
Windows 8 operating system. The main reason that the government officials state
for banning the operating system is the security issues found in the new
operating system.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
One good thing is that even though you are banned from installing the
Windows 8 operating system, you still have the Windows 7 operating system,
which still has a seven more years of support that is until 2020. However, it
is advised that you take into account the use of Google’s Chrome operating
system as an effective replacement to the Windows XP operating system. Some of
the government agencies in the UK have already made the switch to Chrome books,
and they state a significant amount of cost savings from the switch.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
With their client base set to deplete due to the current ban,
Microsoft will be looking to bring a workaround into play, or to placate the
Chinese government and have them rescind the ban.<span style="font-size: 16pt; text-transform: uppercase;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

We all know that Microsoft has stopped supporting Windows XP, and they are no longer releasing any security patches for this completely outdated operating system. However, some XP users have found ingenious ways of installing the latest Microsoft security updates in their unsupported OS.<br /><br /><b>Installing Windows Embedded OS and Windows Server 2003 updates in XP</b><br /><br />Some clever XP users have figured out a way to install a hack in the XP OS, and make some changes in the Windows XP OS registry database. And, this, it seems, will be enough to convince the Windows Updater application that you are using Windows Embedded OS, or Windows Server 2003. You can then easily install the latest security updates available for these operating systems, without any compatibility issues.<br /><br />This hack involves using the security updates for the Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 version. This is an embedded OS designed for point-of-sale equipments and other peripheral devices used in the industry. Now clearly, your Windows XP OS is not the same as Windows Embedded OS. So, installing the security updates intended for the Embedded OS in Windows XP might not be a good idea.<br /><br />The Windows Embedded POSReady 2009 version will receive tech support for five more years, until 2019. But, Microsoft has already realised what is going on, and issued warnings to the XP users not to meddle with the OS registry, and install the security updates not intended for the XP OS.<br /><br />According to Microsoft, installing such security updates clearly not designed for the XP OS might result in OS problems. XP users are instead urged to upgrade to any of the latest Windows operating systems that still receives tech support.<br /><br /><b>Upgrade to Windows 7 or Windows 8?</b><br /><br />There is no need to make any Windows 7 vs Windows 8 comparisons before you upgrade from Windows XP. Windows 8 is clearly superior to the Windows 7 operating system. Microsoft has fixed most of the Windows 8 problems in their latest Windows 8.1 OS update.<br /><br />If you make a Windows 7 vs Windows 8 comparison, you will realise that Windows 8 has better security features, more cloud support functions, more cool apps, and so on. Plus, the hardware requirements for both these operating systems are pretty much the same.<br /><br /> So, instead of installing these hack updates in your old XP OS, upgrade to the latest Windows 8 OS.</div>

Although Windows 8 was severely panned by most users, the operating system has finally proved that it is here to stay. As per the latest market sources, the Windows 8 usage has increased considerably in the last couple of months. This basically owes to the fact that several XP users have finally relented and started migrating to the latest OS.<br />
<br />
Since, Windows 8 will be seen in most of the PC’s in the coming future, let us check some of the interesting features of this operating system:<br />
<br />
<b>ARM tablet support</b><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Microsoft has enabled the support for ARM tablets in Windows 8. This is a marketing strategy to provide stiff competition to others in the field of smartphones and tablets.</li>

<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Now, you can install Windows 8 operating system in your computer even by using a USB device called the Live USB. In addition to this, you can also setup various computer programs configurations and information using this feature known as Windows to go.</li>
</ul>
<b>Apps from Windows Store</b><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Windows Store is one of the best Windows 8 features because you can download a plethora of interesting apps from here.</li>
<li>Quite similar to Google’s Play Store, the Windows 8 users can install various apps from the Windows Store. The developers can also post their applications for the Windows 8 supported devices.</li>
</ul>
<b>User Interface</b><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>The users-interface of Windows 8 is a properly organized one developed in Metro Style. The key feature of this interface is that only the most important information will be revealed to the user.</li>
<li>The interface is developed in such a way that the users will find it easy to operate on the touchscreen.</li>
</ul>
<b>Enhanced security</b><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Microsoft has included an improved edition of Ms Windows Defensive player as a part of the enhanced security settings in Windows 8. This program serves as a complete virus protection device for Windows and protects your system from malwares such as malware, viruses, Trojan viruses and root-kits.</li>
<li>In addition to this, this application ensures real-time protection against protection risks in the computer.</li>
</ul>
<b>Faster Startup Time</b><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Microsoft has ensured faster startup in Windows 8. The inclusion of Protozoon computer file program makes it possible for the users to use the PC immediately.</li>
<li>This means that booting and rebooting the system will be finished at superb speeds.</li>
</ul>
Looking at these useful Windows 8 features, one can see that the operating system will soon be taken to actively, before long. Microsoft is also planning to launch more updates for this OS, which will ensure a more advanced computing experience for the users.<br />

Windows Vista was released after the release of the Windows XP operating system, but it did not become much popular among its users. Wireless issues were much frequent among all the Vista problems. The Windows Vista operating system will save the needed account information to make a login to the BeaverNet. A change in network configuration or password will make it very necessary to update this data in the Windows Vista operating system. The Windows Vista operating system does not update the account information automatically. The easiest and simplest way to force the Windows Vista operating system to update the information is to delete the account configuration and then make a new one.<br />
<br />
The steps to get rid of the wireless connectivity issues in the Windows Vista operating system are discussed below in this article. You can follow these steps carefully so that you will not encounter any such Vista problems.<br />
<b><br />Instructions</b><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">

<li>Select Network and Internet from the Control Panel menu. </li>
<li>From the Network and Internet panel, select Network and Sharing Center. </li>
<li>In the left column of Network and Sharing Center, under the heading Tasks, there is an item named Manage wireless networks. Select this item by clicking on it. </li>

<li>Now you can move back to the Network and Sharing Center and then click on the Connect to a network item that is located in the Tasks column and then make a new BeaverNet connection. </li>
</ul>

It has only been a few months since the official release of the Xbox One gaming console. But, Microsoft has already been working on making many improvements to it. According to the Microsoft help website, Xbox users will soon receive an OS update for their console which will improve its overall performance and add a few new features.<br /><br /><b>What can you expect from the Xbox One OS update?</b><br /><br />Xbox One is already a great success. In the first few months itself, Microsoft sold more than three million consoles, and this figure will soon cross the 4-million mark. However, as with any new Microsoft operating system or product, there have been a few user complaints as well. And, some of them were about the Xbox One operating system.<br /><br />There were a few reported glitches in DVR recording. Some Xbox One users had problems with the Party Chat option. According to the Microsoft help website, with this Xbox One OS update, Microsoft has solved these issues. Also, they have introduced better chat volume control options for Kinect system in Xbox One.<br /><br />As part of the update, the Xbox One OS will also get a sound mixer tool for snapped apps. Also, the update will improve the search engine functions in the gaming console. Overall, this new OS update will improve the performance of your Xbox One gaming console.<br /><br /><b>Sony’s PlayStation 4 taking the lead</b><br /><br />Perhaps, the release of this new OS update within just a few months after the release of the new gaming console, has something to do with the fierce completion between Xbox One and Sony’s PlayStation 4. Last time, Xbox 360 sold more units than PlayStation 3, making Microsoft the leader in the gaming console market.<br /><br />So, this time around, Sony came up with an aggressive pricing strategy. Sony’s PlayStation 4 is 100 dollars cheaper than Microsoft’s Xbox One. Unlike Microsoft, Sony has decided to unbundle their motion sensing device from the main gaming console. This will be sold as a separate accessory. This allowed them to slash the console price down by 100 dollars, outcompeting the Xbox One console in the market.<br /><br />Microsoft is marketing the Xbox One console as the entertainment hub for your home and their Kinect motion sensing system is part of this package. Sony, on the other hand, are marketing their product only as a gaming console, with the PlayStation Camera motion-sensing device as an optional accessory.<br /><br /> Let’s see if Sony can maintain their lead in the next few months.</div>

One of the main problems that an Outlook user has to face is the loss of emails and contacts from the program when the system crashes. However, you can get most of the data back by retrieving the data from the PST files. Here we discuss how to retrieve contacts from PST files. <br /><br /><b>Instructions </b><br /><ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Open the Outlook email manager program by double clicking on its icon found in the desktop and then click on the File menu located at the top left corner of the application window. </li>
<li>From the drop down menu that appears on the screen, click on the Open & Export tab. Now a new context menu will appear on the screen from the options displayed on the screen, select the option labeled as Open Outlook Data File. </li>
<li>The program will now display a file window for opening the Outlook data file, enter the following path C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook in the address bar of the file window. Replace the field named username with the user name you use to sign-in to the computer. </li>
<li>If you are going to use the backup file to retrieve Outlook email contacts, select the file named as backup.pst from the window that opens on the screen. However if you are not planning to use the backup file, select the PST file with the name of your Outlook account. For example, if you have named your outlook profile as user, then select the PST file named user.pst. </li>
<li>After selecting the PST file, click on the button named as Open found in the window for opening the PST file. The Outlook email manager will now create a new folder with name My Outlook Data File or Outlook Data File.

Depending upon the version of the Boot camp software that you are using, Microsoft has constantly supported different versions of the Windows on Boot Camp.<br /><br />Windows 7 Boot Camp helped Mac users to use Windows 7 operating system on their Intel based Mac computers. There is a rumor across the tech world that the tech giant has made a move to remove the Windows Boot Camp support on the newly available Mac Pro Pc’s. As of today, only the Windows 8 and higher OS are compatible with the machine, and all Mac users have found this decision very strange and hard to believe considering the fact that if needed, a Mac PC would be able to run previous versions of the Windows OS. Moreover, older Windows versions are also supported in the older versions of Boot camp on other Mac PCs.<br /><br />Take for Windows 7 as an example; higher versions of the Windows 7 OS are still compatible with Boot Camp 5.x, whereas its previous Boot Camp 4.x supports both Windows 7 and Windows XP. Therefore, Microsoft’s decision to drop support for all other versions of Windows OS apart from Windows 8, will have an adverse affect on Mac. All Mac computers will face the same problems and limitations. This becomes even worse, when you need to upgrade, even if you own Windows 7 and need Boot Camp.<br /><br />Older versions of Windows are still being supported by the older versions of the Boot Camp and the Microsoft’s decision to support only Windows 8 is a clear indication that from now on, it is necessary to have Windows 8 on new Mac computers.<br /><br /> For more news and information regarding this, contact Windows 7 help team.

Windows 8 is one of the latest operating systems from Microsoft that was released in 2012. This futuristic operating system comes with numerous changes from its predecessors. The operating system also powers many tablets around the world.<br />
<br />
Citing the various features of the tablets running with Windows 8 operating system, the Scottish government has decided to provide the government servants in the country with the tablet in the hope of enhancing the efficiency of their services.<br />
<br />
So, what are the features that make Windows 8 operating system a favorite among many users? In this post, we will take you through some of the most interesting features of the operating system.<br />
<br />
<b>Lesser boot time</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
The shutdown process of Windows 8 operating system is similar to the hibernation process, according to Windows 8 help center. With this, the boot time has been reduced considerably and you reach the metro interface in less than a minute after turning on the computer.<br />
<br />
<b>Metro interface</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
The metro interface would be something that you will not find on any other version of Windows operating systems. Unlike logging into the traditional desktop window, Windows 8 takes you directly to the metro interface, which is loaded with applications. With an active internet connection, these applications are updated often to bring you the latest status. For example, you can receive current news feeds, weather reports etc. through their respective applications.<br />
<br />
<b>Search functions</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Most of you might be a bit disappointed with the absence of the Start menu. The start menu in the earlier versions of Windows included the Search field, where you could search for any programs or files in the computer. Microsoft decided to avoid the Start button and search field since you will find most of the programs and features in the metro interface.<br />
<br />
However, where will you find the Search field in the operating system? It is quite simple. All you have to do is simply type the file name or program and the search field appears automatically. The search results are quicker in Windows 8 compared to its predecessors.<br />
<br />
<b>Windows To Go Feature</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
This is one of the most interesting features of Windows 8 by which you can take the operating system and its settings with you in an external media and use it on any other computer that has Windows 8 installed.<br />
<br />
We have mentioned only a few of the important features of Windows 8. For additional information on the operating system and its features, you may contact Windows 8 help center or our technical support team.</div>
