It's Time Microsoft Strategizes with Windows 8


Bangalore: With Microsoft’s latest operating system Windows 8 released, enterprises certainly are finding it hard to mesh up the latest operating system with their environment, as IT administrators have already  credited Windows 8 a poorly build combination of mobile-touch with desktop-peripheral and input contexts.

This certainly has crushed the hopes of Microsoft’s support for a traditional PC management in Windows 8, which they believed to favor PC tablets across the enterprise platform.

Then there is the Windows RT, which seems better as it comes with Windows 7-based Office, File Explorer, and IE10, encompassed of an entirely enterprise friendly environment. But still with the mobile and touch context, businesses are still opting for iPad which is a pretty sensible tablet option for enterprises.

Weston Morris at the Unisys consultancy expects Microsoft to learn quickly from the Windows 8 and RT failures as the platforms need to be improved fairly and quickly, and so that a year or so from now, Windows RT Pro will be what Windows 8 and RT should have been in the first place.
