another window on the way.. Windows 8…..

Windows 8 is a future version of Microsoft Windows , a series of operating systems developed by Microsoft for use on computers and the likely successor to Windows 7 . Windows 8 is scheduled for 2012.

Windows 8 is still in development. What is already certain is that Windows 8 will get native support for USB 3.0. Previous versions had separate driver 's installed. Furthermore, also the management of files changed: conflicts and file transfers are combined into one window. The transfer window will also detail a more comprehensive overview. Transfers will be paused. ISO files and virtual hard disks will stand as a virtual disk can be used. Windows Explorer gets a ribbon (ribbon) instead of a menu bar , just like in Microsoft Office 2007, 2010 , some programs from the Windows Live Essentials and Windows 7 versions of Word pad and Paint . The intention is that the tab"Home" the most used functions. The start menu also gets a review.  Windows 8 will also receive an app store that allows the user software can purchase and download.

The runtime memory usage of Windows 8 is an important factor in determining the Windows 8 system requirements, as well as the broadened spectrum of devices that will host Windows 8. As you know, Microsoft is delivering the complete Windows 8 experience on SoC-based devices characterized by low power consumption. This makes it even more important to leave lots of memory available for multiple concurrent apps and to sustain the overall responsiveness of devices.

Something that might not be obvious is that minimizing memory usage on low-power platforms can prolong battery life. Huh? In any PC, RAM is constantly consuming power. If an OS uses a lot of memory, it can force device manufacturers to include more physical RAM. The more RAM you have on board, the more power it uses, the less battery life you get. Having additional RAM on a tablet device can, in some instances, shave days off the amount of time the tablet can sit on your coffee table looking off but staying fresh and up to date.

Microsoft aims with Windows 8 from the beginning was to ship with the same system requirements as Windows 7. We know if we do even better that there are more resources for apps, even if we keep the published requirements the same. It is fun to think about what the "low end" hardware looked like in 2009 and how you can't even find things like 256MB memory modules anymore. Microsoft wanted to ensure that people running on Windows 7-era hardware would have the option to easily upgrade their existing machines to Windows 8 and take advantage of the functionality it has to offer. Microsoft also expect that many machines that predate the Windows 7 release will run Windows 8 based on the experiences we’ve had with older machines we intentionally keep in our performance test infrastructure.

An important task for Windows 8 was to make room for new functionality while looking for opportunities to reduce the memory consumed by existing functionality and consumed across the board. Windows 8 is tracking well towards meeting the goal we set ourselves.

Windows 8 has a better scheme for the prioritization of memory allocations made by applications and system components. This means that Windows can make better decisions about what memory to keep around and what memory to remove sooner.In Windows 8, any program has the ability to allocate memory as “low priority.” This is an important signal to Windows that if there is memory pressure, Windows can remove this low priority memory to make space, and it doesn’t affect other memory required to sustain the responsiveness of the system

Guys in this modern world there are things in life never works the way you want it to be, you never know when life takes a ‘U’ turn where branches of technology have been growing like a giant in this era of jungle. Today if we compare technology what was used 10 years ago could really mean a nightmare up to a certain extent to some manual processes taken over by the sultans of machines called ‘Computers’ Couple of week’s back I read this article on “New State level grading systems for high schools”. First the board decided to do away with the conventional examination system and now they want to award grades to the students on the basis of attitude towards fellow students, teachers and environment . It is highly likely that the students in higher classes might restrict their real attitude, just to get higher grades. Will this bring justice to a student who is really working hard and other one who’s just pretending it to be? The worst victim of this is going to be student. I remem

India arrived in England as the top Test side in the world. They lost the marquee series 4-0, including two defeats by an innings. Cricket is a great leveler. For the past 21 months India had been the top Test team in the world. In April they became the world champions, lifting the World Cup after nearly three decades. Nothing could seemingly go wrong with this indisputably talented team with the best batting line-up in the world. Mahendra Singh Dhoni was the captain with the Midas touch, leading India to dominate the world of cricket in all formats of the game, including the fickle Twenty20. Staying on top was never going to be easy but Indian fans are shocked by the way India has capitulated to England during this dismal summer. It is not the players above the age of 36 (with the exception of Rahul Dravid, of course) who looked out of sorts; that decline was expected despite a nation being in denial.It is those in the early 30s, men who ought to be making the transition easier,

Is this the end of corrupt Officials? Is India on a rise?

Kisan Hazare was born on 15 June 1937 in Bhingar , a small village near the city of Hinganghat, in Mumbai Province. Kisan's father, Baburao Hazare, worked as an unskilled labourer in Ayurveda Ashram Pharmacy. Kisan's grandfather was working for the army in Bhingar, when he was born. His grandfather died in 1945, but Baburao continued to stay at Bhingar. In 1952, Baburao resigned from his job and returned to his own village, Ralegan Siddhi. Kisan had six younger siblings and the family faced significant hardships. Kisan's childless aunt offered to look after him and his education, and took him to Mumbai. Kisan studied up to the seventh standard in Mumbai and then sought employment, due to the economic situation in his household. He started selling flowers at Dadar to support his family. He soon started his own shop and brought two of his brothers to Bombay.   What is Lokpal Bill? The Jan Lokpal Bill (Citizen’s ombudsman Bill) is a draft anti-corruption bill drawn up by
