windows 8
After the success of windows 7, Microsoft is planning to launch Windows 8 this October. Windows 8 is the next operating system by Microsoft. It will feature a touch interface whether it is a hit or a miss, it is up till now to be recognized but we hope it won’t turn to another Vista.
Microsoft is trying to avoid a Vista rebuild which resulted in missing the holiday season and postponed until January. According to Microsoft, the new Windows 8 will have two detach entities. There will be a Windows 8 for conventional PCs and tablets and there will also be a Windows on ARM for consumer tablets.
Microsoft stated, “Windows 8 will be company’s most unbeaten product preview as of date with millions of downloads being done in its first week of being released. However, the Consumer Preview won’t be there for long and once Windows 8 is released, the preview will stop functioning.”
Overall the forecasters are saying that Windows 8 is going to be a make or rupture for Microsoft. The company is falling more and more behind Apple and the company really needs a big time to get the firm back on track.
There were issues with connecting wireless keyboards and other devices as well as multiple bugs in the software. This has made analysts not only less positive on the software, but they also now believe that an October release date is a little bit difficult.
According to Bloomberg, Microsoft Corporation will be finishing up Windows 8 this summer. The actual software will be running on PCs and tablets by October.

What we have today is the first picture of the upcoming Nokia Lumia 719. The phone is destined for the Asian and American markets and as can be deduced from the name will be placed above the current NOKIA LUMIA 719
The Lumia 719 has a very basic design. Although it’s hard to tell, the phone seems to be much thinner than the Lumia 710 and keeps the physical keys below the display. The phone is said to have a 3.7-inch, AMOLED display with Nokia’s Clear Black technology, 5 megapixel camera and HD video recording, the last two being par for the course for a Windows Phone device.
We are expecting the device to be officially announced in China on March 28, which is when Nokia will be holding its Lumia event there.
