Mobility

With windows 8 Microsoft is taking a leap into the mobile sector and attempting to catch up with the big players like Apple’s iOS and Google's Android more specifically in the tablet segment as the metro style interface is designed prerably for the tablets. The primary objective of Windows 8 would not be to defend its share on the PC market but rather to extend the capabilities to the ARM chips and various mobile devices," said Techaisle CEO Anurag Agrawal via email. Agrawal's firm focuses exclusively on SMB technology.

Integrated Cloud Backup

Microsoft offers one key key feature that could probably be of interest to the SMBs is the SkyDrive integration, it is the cloud backup and storage service, much like Apple's iCloud and other similar platforms. Metro apps will be able to sync directly with data stored in SkyDrive which would boost up adoption of the service. Windows 8 help SMBs to back up PCs regularly without much fuss and make the entire task all the more easier.  Techaisle's Agrawal says that along with better backup, stronger security for mobile SMBs should also be considered and enhanced.
