Reasons Why Windows 8 Will Make Choosing Applications Easy

The new Windows 8 download is already available as a developer download. You can download the whole operating system and install Windows 8 if you really want to have a look at the way the system works, however this is not recommended for a general user. It might be better to go into your local computer support store, and have a look there. In the meantime, the rest of us just have to wait while those developers make everything that we need to go along with the new operating system. Choosing and using applications will be a whole lot easier for us when the consumer version is released. Here is a look at the main reasons why choosing and using applications and our personal computing will be much easier in the very near future.

• Different device but same application. One of the most amazing features of the new operating system is that it will run on all Windows compatible devices. This means you will have the same operating system for your Windows phone, tablet, laptop and desktop. This will mean the exact same applications will run on all of those devices. The days of getting used to different versions of the same applications on your phone and your laptop will finally be gone, let alone having to get used to different operating systems all the time.
• Encouraging web-based applications. The new Windows system will actually allow web-based applications to run on the operating system like traditional applications. This means we will see a boom in applications for all devices as there are many computer programmers and computer repairs professionals who know the language (HTML5), which is used for the Internet (to date). Now that language will become an optional basis for applications on the system. It will mean those online applications will run faster because they can access the full power of your computer because they are not restricted by the power available to them via the browser, and it will mean we can use web-based applications on all of our devices more freely. A single application online is available to any device.
• Application store. Application stores have been a very good solution for other operating systems. Microsoft will launch a new application store with two kinds of applications. The traditional applications as we already know them, while the web-based applications for the new operating system will be exclusively available on the application store. These apps are called Metro Apps, and this is the area we can expect to boom because of the number of people who can develop them. These are the HTML5 based applications. An application store means we know where to find reliable applications, and will reduce the number of virus and malware applications finding their way onto user machines.

There are many reasons why the new operating system is going to make life for personal computer users much easier. Applications have been a big issue for Windows users because so many of them have been linked to malware issues. With fewer nasty applications out there, and more web-based applications, we are going to find a lot less problems appearing in our computers.
