News Microsoft Windows Update : The Operating Systemels Evolution Of Microsoft Windows Through Out The Years

Microsoft Windows has seen ten major versions since its first release in 1985. Over 30 years, Windows evolved to look very different while retaining a degree of familiarity.
The evolution of Windows is both a reflection on computing power of that generation and the dominant input devices, be it a mouse and keyboard earlier and a touchscreen now.

Here’s a brief look at the history of Windows:

Windows 1

The original. This is where it all began. The original Windows 1 was released in November 1985 and was Microsoft's first attempt at a graphical user interface.

Windows 1 ran on top of the then dominant operating system, Microsoft's DOS, which relied on command-line input. Windows 1 was one of the first software to heavily rely on mouse control before the mouse was a common input device.

Windows 2

Arriving two years after the release of its predecessor in December 1987, Windows 2 introduced features like the ability to minimise or maximise windows and allowing different windows to overlap each other. Windows 2 introduced the control panel, where system settings and configuration options resided. It also introduced the world to Microsoft Word and Excel.

Windows 3

Windows 3 launched in 1990 and was the first version of the OS to see widespread success and be considered a challenger to Apple’s Macintosh and the Commodore Amiga graphical user interfaces, coming pre-installed on computers from PC-compatible manufacturers.

It introduced the ability to run MS-DOS programmes in windows, which brought multitasking to legacy programmes, and supported 256 colours, bringing a more modern, colourful look to the interface.

It also introduced the world to one the most iconic timesink ever created, Solitaire.

Windows 95

Windows 95 launched in August 1995 and brought with it the start button and start menu.

Its big push was “plug and play” – connect a peripheral and the operating system finds the appropriate drivers for it and makes it work. That did not pan out as expected and led to millions of “plug and pray” jokes.

Internet Explorer too made its debut on Windows 95.

Windows 98

Released in June 1998, Windows 98 built on Windows 95 and came with Internet Explorer 4, Outlook Express, Microsoft Chat and eventually Windows Media Player.

It introduced the back and forward navigation buttons and the address bar in Windows Explorer, among other things.

USB support was much improved in Windows 98 and led to its widespread adoption, including USB hubs and USB mice.

Windows ME

Released in September 2000, Windows Millennium Edition (ME) was the last Windows to be based on MS-DOS, and the last in the Windows 9x line.

Considered the worst version of Windows ever, ME was the consumer-aimed operating system twinned with Windows 2000 that aimed at the enterprise market. It introduced some important concepts to consumers, including more automated system recovery tools.

IE 5.5, Windows Media Player 7 and Windows Movie Maker all made their appearance for the first time. Auto-complete also appeared in Windows Explorer, but the operating system was notorious for being buggy, failing to install properly and being generally poor.

Windows 2000

The enterprise twin of ME, Windows 2000 was released in February 2000 and was based on Microsoft’s business-oriented system Windows NT that later became the basis for the much more successful Windows XP.

Windows 2000 was the first time that Microsoft offered automatic updates and it was the first Windows to support hibernation.

Windows XP

Released in October 2001, Windows XP was a product of a Microsoft at the peak of its powers.

The start menu and task bar got a visual overhaul, bringing the familiar green start button, blue task bar and vista wallpaper, along with various shadow and other visual effects.

Windows XP was the longest running Microsoft operating system, seeing three major updates and support up until April 2014 – 13 years after its original release. Windows XP was still used on an estimated 430 million PCs when it was discontinued.

But its huge popularity turned out to be a boon for hackers and criminals, who mercilessly exploited its flaws, especially in Internet Explorer.

Windows Vista

Windows XP was replaced by Windows Vista in January 2007. Vista updated the look and feel of Windows with focus on transparent elements and search and security. Its development was long and troubled, with ambitious elements abandoned in the final release.

It was buggy and burdened the user with hundreds of requests for app permissions under “User Account Control” – the outcome of XP’s security problems. It also ran slowly on older computers despite them being deemed as “Vista Ready”.

Windows Media Player 11 and IE 7 debuted, along with Windows Defender, an anti-spyware programme. Vista included speech recognition, Windows DVD Maker and Photo Gallery, and was the first Windows to be distributed on DVD.

Windows 7

Windows 7 was released in October 2009 following the lukewarm response to the buggy Windows Vista. It was intended to fix all the problems and criticism faced by Vista, with slight tweaks to its appearance and a concentration on user-friendly features and less “dialogue box overload”.

It was faster, more stable and easier to use, becoming the operating system most users and businesses would upgrade to from Windows XP, forgoing Vista entirely.

Windows 8

Released in October 2012, Windows 8 was Microsoft’s most radical overhaul of the Windows interface. In an effort to bring Windows into the post-PC world dominated by touchscreen smartphones and tablets, Microsoft ditched the start button and start menu for a more touch-friendly start screen.

The new tiled interface saw programme icons and live tiles, which displayed information normally associated with “widgets”, replaced the lists of programmes and icons. A desktop was still included, which resembled Windows 7.

The radical overhaul led to a fallout with loyal Windows users. Microsoft's attempted to walk a fine line between touchscreen support and the traditional mouse and keyboard and somewhat failed on both fronts.

Windows 10

Released on July 29, 2015, Windows 10 is a sharp U-turn from its predecessor, bringing back the start menu and more balance to traditional desktop computer users.

It was released as a free upgrade to all users with legitimate copies of Windows 7 and Windows 8.1.

A major feature called Continuum introduced the ability to switch between a keyboard and mouse mode and a tablet mode, for those computers like the Surface Pro 3 with a detachable keyboard.

In an effort to recapture the web browser market it ceded to Google Chrome, Windows 10 comes with a new browser called Edge, which allows users to annotate web pages, save them to read later, or select "read mode" to strip out adverts and sidebars.

Windows 10 comes with Microsoft's virtual personal assistant, Cortana, which pops up with notifications and suggestions, and learns the user's preferences over time. Cortana responds to voice commands similar to Apple's Siri and has been touted as one of the core features of Windows 10.

New Leak Reveals Dual-SIM Samsung Galaxy Note 3 With Snapdragon 800 SoC

Samsung’s latest phablet offering, the Galaxy Note 3, was unveiled only recently. The short time frame hasn’t stopped the company from talk about a dual-SIM variant of the device. And according to GSM Insider, such a device is indeed in the works. Before building up expectations, it is necessary to state that the new phablet offering will be hitting the Chinese market for now. There is still no word about an India launch for the variant.

The leak also came with a bunch of photos of the SM-N9002 model, as Samsung is calling it. The most important piece of information revealed from the leak suggests that the dual-SIM Galaxy Note 3 will come with a Snapdragon 800 SoC sporting four 2.3GHz Krat 400 cores and an Adreno 330 GPU under the hood. The variant was even put through an AnTuTu benchmark resulting in a score of 31,276, which is pretty impressive if confirmed. While the variant still falls slightly short of the standard Galaxy Note 3 benchmark scores, according to the source, it is still too early to say if this will affect its overall performance.     

Samsung, from what has been heard so far, will be launching four variants of the Galaxy Note 3 in China. All the information gathered so far suggests that all four models will be available for China Unicom. China Mobile, however, will be getting the Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9008 while China Telecom will be rolling out the Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9009 variant. All told, this seems to be good news for the Chinese Note lovers.

The source states that there will be no real difference between the Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9002 model and the international version of the phablet, apart from the second SIM slot. The N9002 model will come with the same 5.7-inch 1080p display, 13-megapixel camera and run Android 4.3 Jelly Bean.

iPhone 5S To Include Fingerprint Scanner : WSJ

While we count down the hours to the much-awaited launch of Apple’s newest iPhones, more leaks and confirmations are coming in hard and fast regarding the specifications. The biggest feature of the anticipated launch has been the fingerprint scanner and it looks like the more expensive of the two handsets slated to be launched tonight will be home to it.

Rumours about the fingerprint scanner in the iPhone 5S have been doing the rounds of the tech circles for quite some time now, but The Wall Street Journal, ahead of the Tuesday event has more or less confirmed the feature. According to the report, the fancy feature will be a part of only the iPhone 5S and not the rumoured low-end iPhone 5C. 

The report is backed up with references to hardware of this sort that had been found in the beta version of iOS 7. A leak by developer Hamza Sood contained codes of a setup process that made a reference to a biometric scanner located within iPhone’s home button. The description of the sensor showed users placing their fingers on the iPhone’s Home button and seeing an image of a thumbprint in changing colours.

While the technology of fingerprint recognition has been an often visited one by tech companies in order to avoid the need to remember passwords, it hasn’t quite been done right yet. The report by WSJ now notes that newer technology allows for devices to take multiple scans with the finger held in one place, thereby increasing reliability of the readings compared to older technology.

The Cupertino based company will be adding the fingerprint scanner on the more expensive of the two devices, the iPhone 5S, which will by far be the most high-profile consumer electronic device to be home to a fingerprint scanner. The key to widespread public adoption is touted to be the technology’s reliability and ease of use.

Apple’s event is all set to be held tonight at its Cupertino headquarters and will see the launch of the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C.

There is a lot of handling power under the Lumia 720’s bonnet. The CPU is made of double Krait cores produced by Qualcomm. The Snapdragon SoC also has an Adreno 305 GPU along with 512MB of RAM. This mixture appears to be good enough for a mid-range cellphone, but the amount of RAM has us concerned that some programs may not be suitable with this particular smartphone. 

Even though the Lumia 720 does not bring the PureView tag, Htc is going to focus on shutterbugs with the smartphone. Htc, with its smartphone, statements to enables you to catch and discuss images with the photographic camera and through contacts such as Cinemagraph, Intelligent Capture and Glamorous Me.

Will Apple Launch A Budget iPhone For India This Year?

A inexpensive iPhone is a contradiction, or at least Apple company had people believe that for a while. That was until New samsung went to the top of the perch and Android operating system became the de-facto OS for mobile phones across the world. The inventory exchange too has proven a deficiency of assurance in the iPhone manufacturer and the business's inventory has been moving since Sept 2012. All of this has driven a rumour that the Cupertino-based system and press massive is making a less expensive iPhone focused particularly at growing marketplaces like Chinese suppliers and Native indian.

The newest inclusion to this rumour is from iPhone case manufacturer Tactus. A writing on the business's formal weblog has an image of what they declare is the returning protect of the ‘cheap iPhone’. The white-colored thermoplastic returning, proven in the image, has rounded factors and pointed amount control buttons much like the traditional iPod. The style seems to be a rollback as the present plants of iPhones have cup or aluminum supports and have implemented streamlined, straighter collections along the edges. Tactus also considers that the cellphone will come in 5 color choices – dark, white-colored, red, red and yellow-colored. While Apple company has combined out iPods in various colors the iPhones have always been dressed in white wines, colors of dark or metal aluminum layers. The rumours that Apple company would toss in a sprint of color for the price range iPhone is credible but the choice of colors informs us of Nokia’s scheme rather than Apple’s.

Now, about the hardware; Tactus statements that the cellphone will game an A5 processor like the iPad Small and will have a 3.5-inch display instead of a 4-inch display like the newest version of the iPhone or many of the other price range mobile phones currently in the marketplace. The photographic camera is said to be a 5 MP present shooter and there is no term on the top side photographic camera or whether 1080p producing would be possible. If the cellphone does indeed have the A5 processor like the iPad Small then 1080p producing could be a probability.

Tactus has also believed on the price and the release time frame. Their expectation is that the cellphone would cost between $230 and $300 (Rs 12,000 and Rs 16,000 approx).  Given that the ‘cheap iPhone’ is being made for marketplaces like Chinese suppliers and Native indian it is secure to believe that these are not US costs. This would mean that the iPhone will end up being less expensive than mobile phones like the New samsung Universe Huge and the Micromax Fabric HD. That is a questions that we find very hard to believe as Apple company Native indian is currently promoting a three creation old cellphone, the iPhone 4, at Rs 26,000. The stated release time frame for the product is said to be Oct Fifteenth, 2013. Last season Apple company released the iPad Small on Oct Twenty third, so, the think that they will come up with another ‘budget’ system around the same time this season does not seem to be far-fetched.

Apple’s exclusivity is a great marketing technique and is something that they would not give up so quickly. The company has also been effective in disposal a huge number of iPhone 4s onto the Native indian customer resulting in incredibly powerful sales. They will definitely slam up their providing as they look to develop in Native indian and Chinese suppliers but will it be the cellphone that Tactus describes? We question it.

Coming Soon: Lumia Phablet And An Aluminium Successor To The Nokia Lumia 920

Looks like this few days will be a rumour festival. After the price range iPhone that we exposed on we convert our attention to a number of Nokia speculation that hit the web just before the Finnish cellphone manufacturer declared its economical outcomes for the 1st one fourth of this season.

The most interesting among these speculation was the one taken by the Financial Times after a ‘well placed source’ exposed to them that the organization was preparing to take on New samsung by releasing a Lumia phablet operating on Windows Phone 8. The product is said to have a 5 or 6-inch display and will be rough against the New samsung Galaxy Note series. Many thought that the Lumia 920 itself was very heavy but if Nokia controls to make the phablet slimmer and streamlined, a Windows Phone 8 phablet would entice quite a few.

The other big launch that the Scandinavian significant is said to be preparing this season is an aluminium-bodied cellphone codenamed ‘Catwalk’. The product is recognized as a heir to the Lumia 920, currently The lenders leading system. If the released images are anything to go by, the cellphone is a quite the looker. The aluminum structure is similar to the iPhone 4 and could be used as the aerial as in the Apple company system. The nasty returning means the cellphone will come with wi-fi asking for just like the Lumia 920. What we find most appealing is that huge stick out around the photographic camera contacts at the returning. Based on this one can sketch the summary that the cellphone could have a Pureview indicator. The possibilities of a Lumia cellphone that can catch 40 mega-pixel pictures like the Nokia 808 is indeed interesting. The Lumia 920 already has the best photographic camera technological innovation among all mobile phones and if ‘Catwalk’ does have the Pureview technological innovation it will be a deserving heir to the 920. 

After many areas of dropping sales and increasing failures, Nokia is making a valiant effort at switching a benefit and remaining appropriate in the smart phone competition. The Lumia series has seen some success in some areas of the world and in their economical outcomes last night Nokia declared that they had delivered 5.6 million in the 1st one fourth of this season. Although the figures light in evaluation to Apple’s 37 million iPhones marketed in the same period and Samsung’s 61 million powerful smart phone shipping it does indicate a 25% increase in Lumia deliveries as as opposed to past one fourth.

If the speculation come to be true and the Nokia Lumia phablet and the ‘Catwalk’ do end up getting released then we wish that the organization gets its costs right for marketplaces like Native indian where customers still usually affiliate manufacturers with certain price supports. Both the Lumia 920 and Lumia 820 have flopped in Native indian because both were regarded too expensive. The present Native indian smart phone industry is covered with New samsung and to a smaller level by local producers like Micromax and Karbonn. Nokia would be eager to restore some of its missing floor and the latest releases of the Lumia 520, 620 and 720 at huge discounts would absolutely help the business's case. The more latest releases at the higher end of the industry would then aid in growing the former industry leader's business.

Galaxy Grand Or iPhone 4: Which Cash-Back Offer Makes More Sense?

Even if you have not been studying the magazines consistently, possibilities are you would have seen The apple company and Samsung’s large ad strategies for their mobile phones.

While Apple’s strategy concentrates more on the two generations-old iPhone 4 with eye-catching EMI techniques and cash-back provides, New samsung has been promotion intensely for the Galaxy Large, which was declared in Jan and has been a hot supplier ever since. Under Apple’s provide, even the iPhone 4S and 5 are protected, however, the better cash-back deal is for the iPhone 4 in evaluation with the more latest mobile phones.

Given a choice and the price variety versatility, the query gazing many prospective smart phone customers in the encounter is, which provide to click up. Yes, we know the evaluation is, on the encounter of it, unjust, because while the Galaxy Large is a few months old, the iPhone 4 is about to turn three soon. But the iPhone 4 still has an excellent fan following and even despite its age is not all that obsolete. The Galaxy Large, while new, isn't exactly the best system out there with regards to specifications, with a lot of solutions in its cost variety. 

However, the moment of the ad strategies in addition to excellent sales of both devices has tossed up the query of which one should you choose. Both companies’ cash-back provides run until the 30 of Apr and there is no cap time frame on the EMI techniques. So these last few times of Apr are an excellent probability to renew your cellphone.

Let’s start with the iPhone 4, which is perhaps not as clean in the consumers’ thoughts. The iPhone 4 was a significant product for The apple company from a style perspective. It presented the popular cup returning and eschewed the rounded returning for the streamlined returning board. Overall, the cellphone looks well designed and at enough time, it was teams before any other smartphone’s style.

In conditions of the specifications, the iPhone 4 does not show its age. Buyers will get a 3.5-inch show with a 640 x 960 quality, which results in a pixel solidity of 330 PPI, which The apple company has known as Retina show. In conditions of performance, the iPhone 4 is operated by the The apple company A4 processor, which is a 1GHz Cortex-A8 processor processor and there happens to be PowerVR SGX535 GPU in tow. While the handling power might seem missing, one has to understand that Apple’s application is completely optimized to run on the components and as such, performance problems will likely be non-existent. The iPhone 4 even got the newest formal upgrade, iOS 6.1.3, which places it on par with the iPhone 4S and 5 with regards to the application encounter, to a large level. The only area where we feel the iPhone 4 could stand up poorly in evaluation to the Galaxy Large is the photographic camera. The 5-megapixel photographic camera on the iPhone 4 took excellent images, but eventually it is a two-year-old component. Moreover, it can only capture video clips up to 720p. 

In evaluation to the iPhone 4, the Galaxy Grand’s style is a completely different monster. It is by no means a leading system but Samsung's  leading during the iPhone 4's time, the Galaxy S2 is not all that different from the Galaxy Large.

The shiny nasty complete, the detachable returning protect and the overstated shapes of the product are the complete opposites of their edition in the iPhone 4. But where the iPhone 4 only has a 3.5-inch show, customers of the Large will get a nice 5-inch show. Not everything is excellent, though. The iPhone still beats the Galaxy Grand’s WVGA quality. In conditions of processor processor and application encounter, the Large benefits from the addition of Android operating system 4.1.2 Jam Vegetable, while the dual-core Broadcom 1.2GHz processor processor is more than enough to run the simplest edition of Android operating system. In the photographic camera division, the Large has a minor advantage thanks to the 8-megapixel photographic camera and the capability to capture full HD video clips.

Both have been hot suppliers in the marketplace. The Large has been promoting like hot desserts, and we have also effectively discovered that the iPhone 4 inventory in the marketplace has run out and more inventory is inbound. We were informed that suppliers, merchants and even greyish industry inventory of the cellphone has exhausted. Clearly, the lure of an iPhone for as low as under Rs 20,000 after the cash-back plan has connected many seafood. But Samsung’s Galaxy Large has a minor advantage considering its identical cost, the bigger show, the more latest photographic camera and the quicker processor processor. The only places where we would give the fight to the iPhone 4 are the style and the display quality. In addition, there's the element that not everyone might like a 5-inch show on their smart phone and for them the iPhone 4 is a lightweight substitute.

When it comes to applications and activities, nowadays, iOS and Android operating system are approximately on par, with most new applications releasing on both systems. But Android operating system does provide customization choices which set it apart from iOS and this has been a huge element in the success of the system. 

There’s one more element at play here. The Galaxy Large, due to its 2013 culture, could benefit from upcoming up-dates of Android operating system. However, since the iPhone 4 was released truly and there is an iPhone 5S on its way later this season, The apple company might choose to or could be compelled to (due to components limitations) live and retire the iPhone 4 from the upgrade list when iOS 7 comes out.

The cost distinction publish cash-back discount rates is not that high. The iPhone 4 will be available for 19,500 with the highest possible cash-back of Rs 7,000, while the Galaxy Large comes to around 17,000 after bookkeeping for the cash-back provide. So the discussion eventually depends upon which will be a more future-proof cellphone. This is where the age of the iPhone 4 could be a drawback.

Given all these aspects, we think it would be smarter to go for the New samsung Galaxy Large in contrast to an iPhone 4. It is the more latest cellphone and eventually, with the exception of the style and construction, we think it is the more deserving choice.

Sales Dud: India Doesn’t Have The Hots For Lumia 920 And 820

Among much noise and objectives, Nokia released its Windows Cellphone 8 operating Lumia cell mobile phones – Lumia 920 and 820 – in Indian a few months ago. Currently, the Nokia Lumia 920 is formally available for Rs 38,262, while the Lumia 820 is available for Rs 23,969.

Given the reputation of the product in Indian, we talked to a variety of suppliers who gave us the explanation on how well these two Lumias have been doing in the marketplace. Read on to find out.

One greyish industry store informed us that the two Lumias were not performing very well with regards to revenue. When prodded, he said that weekly they offer an average of 2-3 models of the Lumia 920 and 820 cell mobile phones. It must be mentioned, however, that the supplier said customers recommended Android-running cell mobile phones to their Windows Cellphone alternatives.  

In contrast, another greyish industry source informed us that revenue have been decent in the the other day. In that period, they have handled to offer eight models of the Lumia 820 and five pieces of the 920. Between the two, people prefered the Lumia 820 thanks to its lower cost. We were also informed that the revenue have dropped after the release of the Lumia 520 and 620 cell mobile phones.

Trying to evaluate the revenue performance at formal shops, we examined out the multi-brand store, The Mobile Shop. We were informed that the Lumia 920 is pretty well-known with the customers. The shop informed us that in the last 10 times, they have marketed about 6 models of the Lumia 920. As for the Lumia 820, the store said it was doing “Ok-Ok” with regards to reputation in the marketplace. In the last 10 times they only handled to offer about 3-4 models of the smart phone.

We then headed to Vijay Sales, another well-known retail store chain in the city. You can pick the Lumia 920 for Rs 37,990 here, and we are informed that the device is pretty well-known. The Lumia 820 is available here for Rs 23,700. However, we were not given any exact figures about the revenue of the two cell mobile phones. Here too, the store said customers recommended Android operating system mobile phones.

Lastly, we ceased by two Nokia Concern shops, the business's service and formal revenue store. The first one informed us they marketed five models of the Lumia 920 and a couple of Lumia 820s last 1 month. That makes for a harsh reading.

Alarmingly, the next Nokia Concern store informed us customers have been going for other Nokia mobile phones or passing over the Lumia 820 and 920 because of performance problems. He said that the mobile phones were priced high, and the point that in the nation, customers were not used to the Windows Cellphone 8 system. He also went to mention the point that WP8 was not considered very user-friendly by customers, in addition to the devices having battery problems. The shop only handled to offer 3-4 models of the Lumia 920 smart phone and 6-7 models of the Lumia 820 in the last 1 month. 

Going by the specifications alone, we think that the Lumias make for an attractive undertaking. What explains the low revenue numbers then, you ask? The low reputation of the Windows Cellphone system in the nation may be one of the reasons behind it. The proven reality that the OS has not grown big enough to contest with the likes of Android operating system may be another factor. Having said that, the release of the mid-range Lumia 720, Lumia 620 and the low-end Lumia 520 could revitalize Nokia’s performance.

HTC's Benjamin Ho Says Component Shortage Behind HTC One Launch Delay

A lack of photographic camera areas and poor steel supports have pressured HTC to hang on the rollout of its leading smart phone, the HTC One.

The organization said, "HTC has seen unmatched need for and interest in the new HTC One, and the proper care taken to design and develop it is confirmed in beginning opinions.

We appreciate our consumer's tolerance, and believe that once they have the cellphone in their arms they will believe the fact that it has been worth the hang on."

While a month's hang on won't make a significant distinction for HTC loyalists, it could be a strike for the business's desires of gaining more lovers, who will have the attract of the New samsung Galaxy S4 when the HTC One comes out in their marketplaces.
