Different Flavors of Windows8



Microsoft revealed the different flavors of Windows 8. The functionalities will be of course different, people will get a choice according to their needs.

Microsoft's next OS for PCs and tablets powered by 32-bit and 64-bit x86 chips will come in two consumer flavors, Windows 8 and Windows 8 Pro. Another edition of the x86-optimized Windows 8 will be made available to bulk purchasers, while the Windows on ARM (WOA) offering, Windows RT, comes in just one flavor and is only available as a pre-installed OS.

If the OS comes with more number of versions there are possiblities of confusion for a customer to make a choice among all the available versions. Microsoft has big hopes with this OS.

Recovering Deleted Files, Pictures & Videos

  So many times we accidently delete some important files, pictures or videos. Sometimes we loose files because of unexpected system failure  ( ultimately causing system format). We can get our deleted files back using Recovery Softwares/Utilities.  Even though a file was deleted there is a good chance that contents of the file are still around.  When a file is deleted the contents of the file are not removed.
