Windows 8 Calendar app (free download) : Everything you need to know

 Windows 8 Calendar app

At its heart, a great calendar should to do the following:

•Show your life clearly. You should have crystal clear visibility into what’s happening in your life – at home, at work, and at school.

•Make it easy to get around. Moving back and forth in time should be quick and efficient. Opening events and appointments should feel natural.

 •Make it easy to add new items. New things are always coming up in your life. A great calendar makes it easy to make new plans.

 •Keep you on time. Well laid plans aren’t very useful if you show up late!

 •Be ready to do more. As you get busier, scheduling gets more complicated. Calendar should gracefully handle your needs as they change.

Showing your life clearly

One of the most important functions of a calendar is its ability to answer the questions “What’s going on for me today?” and “What’s coming up next?” As we designed the Calendar app, we focused on providing that clarity and eliminating distractions. Given all the potential capabilities of a digital calendar, keeping this focus can actually be quite difficult. The temptation to add extra bells and whistles can be very real. At the same time, we realized that focus is one thing paper calendars have always been quite good at --- they simply present you with the calendar grid and the information you’ve written on it.

 With that insight and the clear principles of what it means to be a great Metro style app, we committed to clarity of presentation. The app focuses on the calendar and your content, above all else.

Photos app for Windows 8

We take a lot of photos that end up in a lot of different places. Some are on our PCs, others end up on a photo sharing service like Flickr or Facebook, and even more are on our phones—sometimes indefinitely. How and where we store and share photos has changed and will continue to change as we take more photos, buy more devices, and share to more places with more people. What we need is one place where we can see, relive, enjoy, share, and immerse ourselves in all of them, all in one place.

Windows 8 will come out in three edition- Home, Pro and RT

Software giant Microsoft has announced three different editions of its upcoming operating system Windows 8.

The operating system will come in three versions, first, Windows 8, for home PCs and laptops. Second, Windows 8 Pro, for enthusiasts and professionals, and third, Windows RT, for devices running low-power ARM processors, such as tablet devices and lightweight ultrabooks.

Brandon le Blanc, head of communications at Windows, announced the versions on the official Microsoft blog, and said they have "worked to make it easier for customers to know what edition will work best for them," The Telegraph reports.

"Windows 8 has all the flexibility you need. You can use a touchscreen or a keyboard and mouse -- and switch anytime. Its beautiful, fast and fluid design is perfect for a wide range of hardware," Blanc added. Windows RT is the first version of Windows designed for tablets.

According to the report, it will come pre-installed on computers and tablets powered by ARM processors and will include a touchscreen-based version of Microsoft Office as standard.
Windows 8 is the standard, consumer-based model that will run on most new home computers, while Windows 8 Pro will include extra features such as file encyption, virtualisation of operating systems and domain management.
