Chennai: The trend for big screen gadgets has been gaining momentum quite fast; so with tablets. The large display screen that offers awe-inspiring experience is the bright spot of the rise in appetite towards the device. No matter whether you are browsing the net, reading, gaming or watching movies tablets provide a smooth sail. The operating system that the tablet is mounted upon has a great role to play in shaping the user experience about it. The introduction of Windows operating system into tablets was indeed an onward march for the manufacturers, however had to witness a lot of gripe from the users reports Financial Express.
Dissection of Windows 8 reveals us a combination of a Modern User Interface designed particularly for touchscreen devices and a ‘Desktop Mode’ which appears as an app inside the Modern UI featured as a ‘Live Tile’.
With dwindled quality and quantity of Windows app the weighing scale shows favorable output for the rival platforms including Android and iOS making Windows unrecommendable for tablet devices.
On the other hand the “desktop mode” of Windows 8 also failed to pack power, as it isn’t basically designed for touch inputs giving a tough time using with fingerers. Mounting an extra Bluetooth keyboard and trackpad will get the issue fixed, however cuts down the ease of portability and makes its usage more tedious. With the absence of these input devices Windows 8 on tablets lack punch and productivity.
On close examination of the products from other market players such as iPads and Android powered devices, we learn that they are uniquely designed for touch inputs. Trying to serve both touch and non-touch simultaneously is the main reason why Windows is being knocked out of the race. With Android and iOS stealing a march over Windows 8, it is high time that they rework on their engineering.
