Windows 8 After-Launch Update

The first part of Blues radio interview with Mazzanti focused on the status of Windows 8, now three months after launch. Blues main question for Mazzanti centered-around the main advantages to small businesses and home computer users.

Windows 8 is now the OS for virtually any office or mobile device, said Mazzanti. It means there is a single way information is stored, managed and accessed, greatly simplifying usage.

When Should Businesses Consider Windows 8?

Mazzanti outlines two particular circumstances small businesses can use to judge when migrating to Windows 8 makes sense. The first instance is when purchasing a new computer. Its the easiest and least expensive way to gradually move to the new OS according to Mazzanti.

The second instance is when a business wants a step-up in productivity of 5 percent or more according to Mazzanti. For example, Windows 8, which can run on many existing computers, has a common, intuitive Tile interface with each device syncing seamlessly with the other.

All of your files, contacts, email and calendars are automatically synced on every Windows 8 devicedesktop, laptop, pad or smart phone, said Mazzanti. With the Tile interface, you quickly get a snapshot of whats going on without opening a single program or logging on to the Internet.

Windows 8: Production vs. Consumption

Popular computer pads are mainly focused on consuming information according to Mazzanti. For example, getting emails, watching movies or using social media.

However, a Windows 8 device is both a consumption and a production device because Microsoft Office can be run easily creating, editing and formatting a variety of documents, observed Mazzanti.

Bottom-line, Windows 8 enables businesses and home computer users to get more done, faster and easier according to Mazzanti.

Microsoft Surface vs. iPad

Surface with Windows 8 puts personal back into Personal Computers, said Mazzanti. It helps users tweak their computer to match their personality, preferences and priorities.

Surface is the name of Microsofts pad-style computer, specifically engineered to run Windows 8 and to meet the evolving needs of a more-mobile user.

Again, Surface with Windows 8 allows users to create information more easily not just look at it, said Mazzanti. With the Office suite running seamlessly users have an infinite number of ways to create and communicate.
