Mobile technologies are growing at an alarming rate as people learn they can do more while on the go. No longer are we tied to a computer to accomplish basic tasks such as email, web browsing, and communicating with our friends.<\/p>\n<p>My friends, the paradigm is changing. Desktops and laptops aren\u2019t going away anytime soon, but smart phones and tablets are becoming more and more mainstream as each day passes. Currently we have a multitude of operating systems to deal with and it is quite probable that current users interact with a mix of these operating systems daily. Go home and jump on the computer \u2013 Windows or OSX. Grab the tablet and sit on the couch \u2013 iOS or Android. Grab your phone and head out for drinks with a friend \u2013 iOS, Android, WebOS, Symbian, Windows Mobile, etc. Man, that can get confusing!<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft has seen the future (not that it was difficult) and made a corporate decision to present a consistent user interface (GUI) across all Microsoft products. I can see their reasoning and applaud their attempts. You have to admire Microsoft for this decision \u2013 real chutzpah. This is akin to putting all your eggs in one basket though. If the public doesn\u2019t like the final product they won\u2019t buy the OS or products that come with the OS. In the past if you didn\u2019t like Windows Phone you chose another device, but you probably had a Windows based computer at home anyway. Have an Android smart phone? Probably have a Windows computer. In the very near future this may not be the case. By introducing Windows 8 Microsoft hopes to move their Metro interface to the desktop. It is already present on the Xbox and Windows phones and with Windows 8 it will be on the desktop as well \u2013 sort of.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.davescomputertips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/windows-8-improved-780x585.jpg\" title=\"improve windows 8\" class=\"alignnone\" width=\"480\" height=\"285\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"http:\/\/www.davescomputertips.com\/2012\/04\/dear-microsoft-please-fix-this-windows-8-thingy\/\" target=\"_blank\">Article continued here<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>This excerpt is shared with permission from davescomputertips.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/techtalk.pcpitstop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/dear.jpg\" alt=\"fix windows 8\" title=\"fix windows 8\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-30238\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Is this our Dear John letter to Microsoft?
