NYC tech leader, eMazzanti, reviews Windows upgrades from XP to Windows 8 and beyond on Voice of Manhattan Business program
“The rocket ship growth of malware and spyware runs across all platforms,” stated Mazzanti. “Users should upgrade to Windows 8.1 to increase security and counter the threats. Each new version of Windows has a much smaller threat landscape, with Windows 8 having one tenth the attack surface vs. Windows XP.”
In the informative interview, Mazzanti also summarized the progression and issues of each of the Windows versions from Windows 2000 to Windows 7, what’s different in Windows 8 and Windows 8.1, and the expected release of Windows 9, spring of 2015.
In discussing the benefits of Windows 8/8.1, Mazzanti mentioned improved performance as evidenced by faster boot times, and shared insights about the “Tiles”, a major user interface change from Windows 7.
“The tiles are much more than links to directories,” explained Mazzanti. “They are a phenomenal way of pulling in active data you might be interested in on multiple platforms without having to launch individual apps.”
The program concluded with a brief discussion of what to expect in Windows 9 and beyond. Mazzanti said he hopes to see file storage synced across all devices, a sexier user interface and faster setup on any new device, with automatic transfer of settings and apps.
“Customer feedback is insanely important to Microsoft,” stated Mazzanti. “With so much input, we are excited about what’s coming in future releases of Windows, particularly the user experience.”
