Happier today, for installing the recent windows 8.1 operating system. I'd only recently note some improvements in terms as of recent days: firstly past purchases of external sound cards have translated into the functionality of these devices aside from devoted applications for these purposes, the ability to change default sound settings both for system sounds, and applications extending beyond specialized sound production software for these purposes alone. While generally I had resorted to the traditional windows 8 desktop for running applications and generally stayed away from the tablet style application interface applications, I've recently started to explore Store suggested applications. Some basic improvement could be desired, for instance, at least in one application that I had worked with are:
For image processing software, such Adobe Photoshop Express, one would hope for greater ease in accessibility to image library access, namely, through external drive devices, outside of revel for importation options.
Personally, while I hadn't complained or thought in complaint as much concerning the differences between Windows 8's 'tile world' versus desktop functionality. I hadn't readily attempted to use 'tile world' as much in my general work, mostly because I hadn't understood, then more fluently basics of things like: switching between applications, closing them, and/or that applications themselves seemed at a basis so highly minimal in terms of application interfacing, that these should seem limited relative to the desktop versions. The biggest recent problems that I've noticed are re direction from the 'tile world' version to the desktop versions. For instance, an amazon application that calls up user account sign-in redirects to a desktop web application, for user sign in process completion, or then if you were a prime user, you might not be able to access (or it appears this way) that web browser provides better prime user account accessibility in resource usages and searches in general. In another way, the full screen style interfaces, seems to provide something of a different user experience, where site immersion neither contains all the visual distractions contained by the frames, browser interface buttons. I've recently explored tile worlds, new interface likewise, and generally I've liked something of the reader experience here, relative to more traditional text html style saturation, the feel is more like a polished 'zine like assortment of articles in general containing both larger scaling in text and photos, an approach that seems more like the arrangement of text that I might have found through Amazon Cloud's e-reader. Generally my feeling is positive towards this type of electronic reading experience, at least different, if at least removing all aspects of form clutter, that often times browser readers might have contained. On the downside, its still an appreciable differences migrating culture of users used to traditional mainstays regarding applications usage, I'd have to admit these days, however, I am using outside of music production software far less applications that I might have purchased by way of boxed software, and even there cloud based services for boxed applications have been essential, in so far as much of providing upcoming features and accessibility. Likely, applications may be more a cloud reality, in as much as user experiences are based upon cloud storage services for provisioning applications/settings and other purchased goods. Here this resolving inter oper ability issues between applications out of the box, that might have once worked on an old operating version of windows (or some operating system), and no longer working on a new one. Windows 8, in my opinion, hopefully should take the lead not only in promotion of cloud services here, while at once it seems users on the other hand, aren't relating in the same ways to the large scale applications that might have been more readily relied upon in the past. Even Adobe is providing now cloud based services for their larger scale applications (which entail as opposed to a one time larger purchase in the range of several hundred dollars), a given monthly subscription for photo/image/creative art graphics software. While the start button, could be argued nominal, and generally speaking a user culture issue (which still could fade in some future), as it were owing to interfaces themselves, its resort seems one based more on psychological comfort, then outright necessity, even those less frequently using Windows 8, after all picked up on the fact that the Start button could be evoked easily by moving the cursor to the lower right corner, and in either case, its existence in one form or another, neither would change the aspect of general operations in so far as application performance, either way, this particular corner would be spatially reserved outside of full screen application usage in a non tile world case.
There's another reason why I have generally liked the generation of new operating systems in general, and this is system performance and security in general. Even as older operating systems, continue to be supported by Long term support for their given lifetime, as a given compiler code base exists for a given operating system, in theory grows some length with respect to the host of problems that might exist. This isn't to say that while an operating systems popularity use, and knowledge base increasing, hadn't neglected aspects of security support as long as the software producer maintains support, but at least if knowledge bases have grown, only grows the host of problems that exist. In theory at least, one should hope as generations of new compilers and code bases have arisen here, represents potentially some diminished code knowledge base while a new learning curve has arisen finding port between old code provisioning inter operability. Here those utilizing old code bases for ill purposes, have to make this jump, and a new operating system represents a new hurdle arguably if ports in code are required. Here, I'd suggest if only Microsoft embraced only further the idea of rolling out more frequently new operating system version with not only new compilers which inevitably at times require their own porting processes, we might find only increased security for the change in knowledge bases themselves. The oper ability issues facing soft ware development in my opinion, might be better reserved facing the reality of application usage as it is trending today, which is that many of application services are of a cloud reality, and that any provider (while having faced the added learning curve of porting code processes) might benefit if channeling processes here. Of course, this should be at odds for independent small scale developers, but on the other hand, if services could be provided regarding this model, maybe the negatives could be less so. Only increased frequency in operating system rollouts might increase interests in operating systems themselves, but make easier change and revisions should problems be perceived in the first place. Here sales models, may prove more dynamic (should one version flop relative another), and only provision more reactive consumer feedback concerning revisions otherwise. Not to say the Microsoft wouldn't continue (as in the case of operating system development models, Ubuntu coming to mind here) to provide long term support services, but also that Microsoft might shift itself in terms of where its bread and butter might be. The personal computer user, might be part of this model, but the reality of personal computing has changed in this present day relative the past, somewhere if it could provision in these more frequent operating system roll out models (a smaller consumer charge for a given operating system), it might enjoy something of renaissance in so far as consumer interests?!
While I had at one times, only briefly, delved into desktop applications development, and much to the contrary, argue against myself in this one time complaint, regarding frequent operating system's development and software compatibility, fewer are doing these sorts of things today, and anyways, the learning curve of the new is always there isn't it?! Its hard to imagine the desktop going away as we know it, but on the other hand something of a reality has arisen, more users with smart phones readily understand separate interfaces and systems that have changed the population of user desktop cultures...Microsoft seems to be facing this with sluggish PC sales at present, and some may still feel comfortable staying on smaller screen resolutions using the sorts of tile world application interfaces while for going the general PC. Honestly, I don't know how? I never got into game boys or small console systems or smart phones in any event, but it is a present reality. The more we use devices changes the arrangement of our perceived spatial environment, the more we grow accustomed to spatial environments the more we grow fond and used to these environments. Its why the Start button is hard to go away, and why Microsoft appears to be attempting to breach aesthetic cultural divisions likewise. Then, another solution to this approach may include a non all encompassing approach, if noticeable user complaints of then Ubuntu's leap to the Unity interface, traditions in operating system layouts might be maintained, yet with Microsoft release flavor like systems in general with different design layout approaches.
For image processing software, such Adobe Photoshop Express, one would hope for greater ease in accessibility to image library access, namely, through external drive devices, outside of revel for importation options.
