The new Windows 8 and its Metro UI did not impress many of the traditional Windows users. The Metro user interface was designed mainly for the touch-screen devices. This somewhat alienated Microsoft’s usually strong user base – the desktop and laptop users. The Metro UI was aimed mostly at the tablet and smartphone users. However, for them, the new Microsoft OS came very late into the picture. Apple and Google had already started dominating the market by the time they released Windows 8. About the Windows 8.1 update The Windows 8.1 OS is Microsoft’s attempt to rescue their new OS. The many complaints from the traditional Windows users about the absence of the Windows Start Menu were taken in to consideration. But, Microsoft chose not to bring back the Windows Start Menu in Windows 8.1. The traditional Windows 8 users will have to be content with a new, different Start Button in Windows 8.1. This shows that Microsoft is really counting on touch-screen devices taking over the desktop an...

It has been more than a year since Microsoft released Windows 8, and even though this operating system received a cold response from the users, it is slowly catching up with its competitors. One of the reasons why many people are reluctant for a Windows 8 upgrade is that their existing operating systems, Windows 7 or Windows XP, do not give them many troubles. However, with the end of support for Windows XP operating system, many of these customers have started to upgrade their operating system. However, not all of them have chosen Windows 8 for this upgrade and many think that Windows 7 suits their needs better. For Windows XP users who wish to upgrade to Windows 8, it might be necessary to make a few hardware upgrades. This is because Windows XP could run even on 256MB of RAM and a processor with a speed of 233 MHz. However, when it comes to Windows 8, the minimum RAM required becomes 1 GB and the processor speed 1 GHz. One of the techniques by which you could find out if your curre...

Recently, it was reported that some of the Microsoft Word versions suffer from a type of security vulnerability that makes these systems easy targets for hacking attacks. Not many details have been released so far about this security flaw in MS Word – for obvious reasons. But, it has something to do with the processing of the Rich Text Format (RTF) files in MS Word. How these hacking attacks happen? Hackers are taking advantage of this security flaw and designing special RTF files that would be emailed to your email account. When you open this RTF file attachment in your Outlook application, your system is infected. This is because Microsoft Outlook is a part of the MS Office suite and therefore, it would use the MS Word application in the system to process Word and RTF files. Now, according to the statement issued by Microsoft, the following MS Word versions suffer from this security flaw – MS Word 2013, 2007 and 2003, some of the Microsoft SharePoint Server versions and the Microsof...
