São Paulo – Microsoft finally confirmed that prepares an update for your system Windows 8 . Blue codenamed Windows, the update will be released later this year.
Windows Blue is the internal codename used by Microsoft to refer to update your operating system, so the final name of the product will be different.
According to the company, the update has three important pillars: the evolution of Windows 8 for touchscreens, user feedback, and support for new screen formats (specifically displays of 7:08 inches).
This last point is probably the most significant, since until now manufacturers faced technical difficulties to create Windows 8 devices with small screens. Ie, soon the tablets with the system – such as the Acer Iconia W3 – should participate in the competition between smaller devices.
Furthermore, experts believe that Windows Blue is the new Microsoft’s attempt to increase sales of computers with Windows 8.
Despite having distributed more than 100 million licenses of Windows 8, PC sales did not have the expected increase with the release of the operating system and the computer market has been losing ground to other electronics like tablets.
According to Microsoft, Windows Blue will be available later this year to the next generation of tablets and computers. The update should bring back the Start button, and allow computers to directly open the traditional desktop to be connected.
“Windows 8 is a big and ambitious change. Although we know that change takes time, we feel good about the progress since the launch, including the achievements with the ecosystem and consumer reactions against new PCs and tablets available or coming to market, “the company said.
