Posted on number one business enterprise in the World.[/b] Will Metro Work? So on the Microsoft side, people may have been saying “Why couldn’t we be more like Apple, or like …, or like ….?” There’s been a grumbling that with all the smart people working at Microsoft, they are Number 2, 3, or 4 in innovation. Things had to change. So Microsoft offers Metro. but there is talk that the new Windows 8 Metro interface is going to bomb. In an article in [url=http://www.zdnet.com/blog/microsoft/windows-8-does-metro-actually-work/12728?tag=maincarousel">Zdnet, the writer points out that there are serious deficiencies in handling Metro. And because of that, Metro will not b…

Hello, one of our users is on Linux and we use Outlook 2010 in our company. He receives all e-mails in html format, which is cumbersome and adds html tags all over his screen. On the Exchange server, there is no restriction as to the e-mails format: the format is determined by the users' setting. Does anyone know if it is possible to permanently change the e-mail format but at the client level. The objective is for this user to always receive his e-mails in plain text? Thank you very much in advance for your help on this! View this thread

One of our core principles in the development of the Windows 8 Metro style app platform was to ensure that users would have confidence in their apps. This is a mission we’re in together in this post, I explain our vision for app confidence and reliability and help you build confidence by design into your apps. Let me start by explaining what we mean by confidence. Picture a customer browsing the Windows Store looking at a Metro style app we want them to be thinking only about the app and whether or not it is right for them. We want them to assume—in fact be confident—that the app will behave the way they expect and thus will perform well on their system, will use only th…

As we developed the app model for Windows 8 and the new Metro style apps, a key architectural requirement has been to deliver apps to customers that can be used with confidence--confidence that apps will be well-behaved with respect to resources, that apps will not interfere with other apps, that apps use system resources with your permission, that apps can be installed and uninstalled with ease, and so on. These attributes require a robust platform and strong set of tools for developers. This is an effort that requires a fresh start and cannot be retrofitted on an existing system. Windows 8 is a fresh start in this regard. This post details some of the work we have d…

Using Microsoft’s Metro technology in Windows 8 is like going to a flashy restaurant where your plate is delivered with a tiny morsel of food in the middle, but the rest of the plate is unused, says one tester. Source: All About Microsoft

In the Windows 8 background model[/size] Efficient battery usage has been one of the fundamental building blocks in the design of Windows 8 and its app model. Pat Stemens [url=http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/2011/11/08/building-a-power-smart-general-purpose-windows.aspx" target="_blank">post on the Building Windows 8 blog goes in depth into why this is such an important factor in the design of Windows 8 and describes some of the techniques that weve incorporated in the system for increased battery life. As you can imagine, one of the biggest factors that determine the battery life of a device is the apps that run on them. And with this in mind, we designed the Wind…

We have a server 2008 roaming profile network. If more than one person is trying to create a border in MSpub at the same time as another person logged on to the same profile they are blocked from doing so until the earlier user has finished. Also if a few users are working on a publisher document and newcomers on other PCs try to open a MSpub document (on same profile) often MSpub opens the existing users docs on the new users PC before their own doc opens. How can this be stopped happening? View this thread

Kids today grow up online. They use computers to do their homework, play games, communicate with friends, and access the wealth of information on the web. Computers give children access to many positive experiences however, parents face challenges in monitoring what their children see online, the people they meet, and the information they share. At Microsoft, we want to help parents create a healthy computing environment for their kids. We encourage parents to talk to their children about online safety and to set guidelines for their computer use. Microsoft and many safety advocates also recommend moving the family computer to a common room in the house so parents can gl…
