Windows 8 vs. Mac Os X Lion Comparison
It is rather difficult to compare Windows and Mac OS 8 X Lion, including because although we know from yesterday is already a lot on the topic of "Lion King" still we have only the residual information about the new system, Windows. We only know what exists and that its user interface is friendly to the tablets. So Apple, as well as Microsoft, is trying to bring to his tablets, and personal computers. Steve Jobs said that some of the features iOS (operating system for iPad) is to introduce in Mac OS X. In the case of Windows 8, Ballmer and the union, decided to step more radical.
Windows 8 should be an operating system that will work on every computer. Will be designed in to work on the tablets, but also turns on the PC, laptops, netbooks, and computer all-in-one. I guess it has its advantages: no need to learn a new operating system will no longer jump between the personal computer and a tablet. The software will operate anywhere in the same way. There are many roads that can head to Microsoft. Apple, instead seek to be a perfect system keeps the distinction between smart phones and tablets (with iOS) and personal computers running OS X. wt Here the main aim is to transfer functions with the best tablet also Mac OS X Lion. This approach - in this moment - it seems more judicious.
Windows 8 in the test version was shown on the touch screen, but it is also designed for large screen, where it is necessary to work with a keyboard and mouse. In the first place was changed the desktop, where instead of the usual folders are now placed lively panel applications, such as a mobile Windows Phone 7. This will once again not to go into the program and see all the updates, such as weather or RSS-flow, directly to your desktop.

Interestingly implemented multitasking function when the application window can be dragged from left to right and vice versa, grabbing the mouse or finger over the very edge of the screen. Other features of Windows 8, you can note the appearance of store applications, the analogue Mac App Store, as well as improved Internet Explorer 10.
To cover the entire PC market, including tablet, Microsoft intends to provide its new operating system support processor architecture c ARM, which include NVIDIA, Qualcomm and Texas Instruments. Talk about some benefits of Windows 8 before Mac OS X Lion's too early - both axles has not yet been officially released. But Steve Ballmer will have an advantage in time, as the "Lion" will be seen next Monday. The head of Microsoft with their developers will be able to follow the user response to the new scheme of the operating system, which combines the operating system for PCs and smartphones, today to reflect on the popular feature store all data in the cloud, and, perhaps, will make a worthy competitor somewhere in 2012 year.
Mac OS X 10.7 aka Lion might be officially released in July. Two things are unusual because - the distribution channels and price. That Steve Jobs is not a fan of physical media, we have known for some time. The Blu-ray has been granted from the start a rejection, and the CD is long gone from the icon of iTunes. Even with the MacBook Air was the manufacturer of Cupertino, where the path will lead. The entire operating system is the absence of DVD drive on a USB stick installation.
The price of Mac OS X Lion: $ 29.99 for a copy to be acquired only on the Mac App Store that can be installed on multiple computers. Compared to the price of licenses for operating systems of competition (and not say we are restricted to a single computer most of the time), the price is absurdly cheap. It is obvious that Apple wants to eradicate piracy in its platform, taking advantage of. Mac OS X Lion will insist, only on the Mac App Store during the month of July. No hard copies or go to the store to buy it. This also implies a negative, can only be installed on computers with version 10.6.6 of Leopard or higher.
Otherwise, Snow Leopard will be installed before (unless Apple offers a most convenient way to update). There remain some points, such as how we format the computer and install the system from scratch.
Touch Interface
Multitouch gestures are nothing new, as can be with them for a long time to control the MacBook. Lion Among them are also on your desktop computer to play a much bigger role, even more so in conjunction with the Magic trackpad. Way can enlarge photos by dragging, browse documents with a wiping motion and other things that are already on your iPhone or iPhone is used.
