Listen to article

Pagbuwag sa mga tsismis ug mga huna-huna, Microsoft bag-o lang nagpahibalo sa mga ngalan sa lain-laing edisyon sa umaabot nga Windows 8 OS kung kini ilunsad sa merkado. Upat ka edisyon ang ilusad, mao kini ang Windows 8, Windows 8 Pro, Windows RT ug Windows 8 Enterprise.


Windows 8 and Windows 8 Pro will have x86 and 64 editions for PCs and tablets. It will include features such as an updated Windows Explorer, Task Manager, better multi-monitor support, and the ability to quickly switch languages. Windows 8 Pro will be more packed and will include added features for encryption, virtualization, PC management and domain connectivity. Microsoft will also include Windows Media Center but as an economical “media pack” add-on.

Windows RT (RunTime), nga nailhan usab nga Windows sa ARM o WOA, pag-instalar na daan sa mga PC ug tablet nga gigamit ang mga ARM processor. Kini pagahimoon nga touch-optimized aron ang usa ka touch nga bersyon sa Microsoft Office ingon man ang mga app mahimong gipaabut. Ang pag-develop sa mga app usab usa sa mga pangunang pagtagad sa Microsoft para sa RT nga bersyon, nga nagtinguha sa usa ka “bag-ong henerasyon sa mga cloud-enabled, touch-enabled, web-connected nga mga app sa tanang matang.”

Tan-awa ang tsart sa ubos para sa usa ka dali nga pagbahin-bahin sa Windows 8 ka mga feature (dili kini ikonsiderar nga kompleto nga lista):

Hi Mr.Abe,

I just want to comment on some part of Louise’s report:

True, four editions or what we commonly called as SKU’s of Windows 8 will be on board but do not include Windows RT as part of Windows 8 because the ARM version is the “new member” of Windows family (e.g Windows Phone, Windows CE, etc.) So, what will be fourth one? It is the language-specific Windows 8 edition (e.g Windows 8 China) which is intended for emerging market.

Another thing, don’t get the readers confused on what Windows RT really means, Mr. Louise said it as “RunTime” (unless Microsoft called it that way). NO. It is not, Windows Runtime is the backbone of Windows 8 Metro-Style development platform.

Please double check the news before posting.

Thanks.

Finally the upcoming netbooks won’t have to deal with that awful Windows Starter edition, they’ll get the same Windows as every other laptop.

It’s a good thing they decided to simplify and cut down on the number of editions to make things less confusing. Things were just insane on Windows 7.
