Microsoft Corp is bringing back the windows 'start' button offering a stripped-down version among a slew of improvements aimed at winning over tablet users and placating PC customers alienated by Windows 8.
Executives say the plan is now to update Windows periodically,rather than waiting three years or so between big releases.
Windows 8 was designed to be used both on touch screen tablets & traditional PC's.But while touch-screen users tend to like the new 'tile'-based interface,many mouse and keyboard users complained that the new design was confusing.
WINDOWS 8.1 FEATURES
GETTING STARTED:- A button in the bottom left corner of the screen that features the Windows logo and takes the user straight to a grid of applications.
SEARCH BEGINS:- A vastly improved "search" function,which allows a user to search for documents,apps or items on internet from a single search bar.It allows users to see all applications immediately in a grid by swiping down or pressing a button on screen.
NET GAINS:- Windows 8.1 includes Microsoft's latest browser,Internet Explorer 11 and lets the user restore the address bar and tabs to the screen view.
SIZE MATTERS:- Windows 8 allowed users to run two programmes side by side,the update will add the ability to adjust how much of the screen is given to each one.
LOCKED:- The Lock screen will feature a slide show of photos & users will be able to answer Skype web-based calls without unlocking the machine.
BACK-UP OPTIONS:- A built-in connection with Microsoft's online storage system,SkyDrive,to back-up photos,music and programme files.
