Windows 10

Posted by admin on Oct 5, 2014 in Latest News |

For people wanting to upgrade from Windows XP and Windows 7 it might be wise to be patient. Windows 10 is only a few months away.

It is even rumoured it might be a free upgrade from windows 8? Time will tell.

Microsoft is skipping Windows 9. The technical prevue’s of Windows 10 were released on October 1.

The most important changes are the return of the Start menu albeit with Tiles. A windows 7 look alike with all the windows 8 enhancements.

“Joe Belfiore, corporate vice president of the Operating Systems Group at Microsoft, showed off the new Start Menu in Windows 10 that Microsoft had promised in its past events to bring back. The new Start Menu looks like a conglomeration of the Windows 7 Start Menu and a collection of pinned Live Tiles from the Windows 8 Start Screen. The tiles on the new Start Menu can be resized, according to Belfiore. The Start Menu also has a “universal search” capability that shows results for Windows 10 and the Web.

Belfiore characterized the new Start Menu as a blend of OS elements.

“The tiles and icons that are shown are a blend of classic apps and new universal apps, (New name for Metro Apps)”

Windows 10 will allow both “classic” Windows 7 apps and universal apps to have Snap capability, where two apps appear side by side on the screen. The windows can be resized, moved and have title bars.

Microsoft also added a new button on the taskbar of Windows 10 called the “task view.” It will surface a particular screen view with multitasked apps. With the task view feature in Windows 10, it’s possible to have quick access to multiple desktops.

Microsoft even improved the old command prompt in Windows 10. It’s now possible copy a directory path right into the command prompt window using Control + V keys instead of having to use the command prompt’s menu to perform such a paste operation.

Windows 10 users that depend on touch will still get the old Charms bar. However, Microsoft added access to a task view menu in Windows 10 when swiping from the left.

Microsoft’s announcement showing Windows 10 screenshots can be found here.

Testimonials

ODC have been brilliant. They are always on the end of the line and on call when we've needed help. They understand that we depend on having an It system that works.

We are highly satisfied with the level of service provided and would recommend ODC without hesitation. LJ Hooker Manager Jude Leske

We have engaged ODC Ltd as our Technology Consultants. They can service our needs either remotely from their office in Vila into our server at "The Summit", or, when necessary, they attend onsite. I have found their response time to be excellent, and their follow up services are always delivered in a timely, pleasant and efficient manner. It is very comforting to know that we now have this level of expertise available for a reasonable price in Port Vila. Lesley Batty

Their added ability to solve problems remotely in a crisis is vital to our business. Akisanti is a company we can depend on. Fiona Campbell-Hearn

Akisanti has provided us with excellent service for the past 15 years. They took the time to find out about our organisation and what best suited our requirements, and in the process assisted us to grow from a 3 man band to a company of 18 staff in 5 different cities. Olaf’s knowledge of the IT industry and his ability to match these to our needs made us feel comfortable from the start. He and his team were always extremely professional I would have no hesitation recommending his services. Linda

We would just like to thank you for the professional and easy transition to your company to provide all our IT requirements. We have been extremely impressed with the level of service you have provided along with the level of expertise of your staff. Previously we had experienced a lot of problems and it so refreshing to be given this type of service that corrects the problems immediately. We have no hesitation recommending ODC to everybody looking for a complete IT solution. Roland Cowles GM

Our office is situated 30 minutes from Vila. ODC can use their NAVERISK software to remote into our computer server from anywhere. It reduces the time taken to solve problems that crop up during the day. This timing is very important as we run a tourist facility which requires that our point of sale hardware is always functioning. I can certainly verify that having the remote functionality to fix our IT problems is a winner in terms of efficiency and minimises down time of our network. Lesley
