:01:16. > :01:21.cash for your photos in Webscape. Welcome to Click. The weather in
:01:21. > :01:28.Seattle is famously... for the last couple of years, the mood has been
:01:28. > :01:30.as well. The city's most famous technology giant, Microsoft,
:01:30. > :01:37.watched with a thunderous expression as PCs running Windows
:01:37. > :01:44.have fallen out of favour. Turns out that the world are now loves
:01:44. > :01:48.tablets, and they are run by Google and Apple. Until now. This is the
:01:48. > :01:57.week that Microsoft hopes to change all of that. It has unveiled
:01:57. > :02:01.Windows 8. It is the biggest change to windows that I can remember,
:02:01. > :02:05.basically because the windows themselves have taken a back seat
:02:05. > :02:11.to this new collection of brightly coloured touch tiles. This is to
:02:11. > :02:16.become Microsoft's standard welcome screen, the Xbox now has it, as
:02:16. > :02:21.will the upcoming Windows by eight. But beneath the surface, these
:02:21. > :02:27.devices will not share the same apps. When you switch it on, this
:02:27. > :02:32.is what you see, it is the start screen, it is a big touch-friendly
:02:32. > :02:37.version of the old Start menu. You can swiped through tiles, some of
:02:37. > :02:44.them are live, so the content changes, and you can launch any app
:02:44. > :02:48.or piece of software. The apps are written specifically for the new
:02:48. > :02:56.interface, which means they are touch-friendly. If you want to
:02:56. > :03:01.navigate your way around, you have to learn a few new gestures. For
:03:01. > :03:07.example, this is how you move between all the apps. If you want
:03:07. > :03:16.to see a list of what is open, you do that, and you can even have two
:03:16. > :03:22.Open at the same time. But you cannot have more than two. And you
:03:22. > :03:26.cannot split the screen directly in half. One has to be small. On the
:03:26. > :03:31.right of these Queen, if the swiped from this side, you have something
:03:31. > :03:35.that Microsoft is calling a menu. As well as an option to return to
:03:35. > :03:41.the start screen, this is where you will find some context sensitive
:03:41. > :03:47.functions. If you hit search, you can search within the app that you
:03:47. > :03:53.are running, or choose another part of the system. Do not panic, the
:03:53. > :04:00.traditional desktop has not gone away. There is a button on the main
:04:00. > :04:04.screen, and there is something that looks very familiar. If you want,
:04:04. > :04:10.you can split the screen say you haven't app on one side and a
:04:10. > :04:13.desktop on the other, or if you had a second screen, and you go to the
:04:14. > :04:19.devices menu, and stick your classic desktop on one and the
:04:19. > :04:22.tiles many on the other. The idea is that Windows 8 will work with
:04:22. > :04:27.what about form back doubt that you throw at it, and the software
:04:27. > :04:33.should work with by the desktop and the modern interface. If you need
:04:33. > :04:42.to switch between, as you leave home and want to work somewhere
:04:42. > :04:48.else, all the work will switch over as well. This is my major concern
:04:48. > :04:52.with Windows 8. The two party operating systems seem to work
:04:52. > :04:57.completely independent of each other. Open up internet explorer in
:04:57. > :05:02.modern, and it is not the same browsing session as it 1 Open in
:05:02. > :05:07.the desktop mode. You can send you tiled session to the desktop, but
:05:07. > :05:12.if you make changes, click on any links, they are not mirrored when
:05:12. > :05:17.you flit back. Some very useful bits of Windows software do not
:05:17. > :05:21.even had a toy or equivalent, take note pad. When you launch it from
:05:21. > :05:24.the modern side, you are put straight back on to the desktop
:05:24. > :05:29.version, which is not touch- friendly enough to use without a
:05:29. > :05:33.mouse and keyboard. Do not go looking for the start button.
:05:33. > :05:39.Whenever you want to launch anything, you have to fit back to
:05:39. > :05:46.the tiled screen. If you are in desktop mode, and you do not have a
:05:46. > :05:53.touch screen, you can still kind of get all the functionality. If you
:05:53. > :05:58.move your mouse to the top left of the screen, you get all the running
:05:58. > :06:07.apps, if you move it to the bottom, you get to the start screen, and
:06:07. > :06:11.the right corners, you get the chance menu. A compromise? One
:06:11. > :06:16.other big change for Windows is that there is now, for the first
:06:16. > :06:24.time, a version designed to work on the new chips that power most of
:06:24. > :06:32.the world's tablets and smartphones. It will run on Microsoft's own
:06:32. > :06:40.Surface. Confusingly, it will not run any existing Windows 7 desktop
:06:40. > :06:45.software. Is this the operating system that will finally bring
:06:45. > :06:50.Microsoft back to the cutting edge of personal, portable computing?
:06:51. > :07:00.Someone at least seems to think so. I could not be more excited about
:07:01. > :07:02.
:07:02. > :07:07.what we have. I could not be more anxious to get out there. To get
:07:07. > :07:17.the consumer response, to tell the story, to share the new devices. I
:07:17. > :07:18.
:07:18. > :07:24.have got a lot of anticipation. We are ready for it.
:07:24. > :07:29.Now it is over to you. Have you been using Windows 8? Give us your
:07:29. > :07:33.thoughts. Next up, a look at the technology news.

:09:47. > :09:52.other, as we had just seen, some of us are finding that our home
:09:52. > :09:57.wireless networks are not up to the job. Maybe it is a wall blocking a
:09:57. > :10:03.signal, or not enough bandwidth in the air to send any high-definition
:10:03. > :10:13.pictures. Happily, the technology industry is developing new ways of
:10:13. > :10:21.
:10:21. > :10:25.moving the data around your home. Over the past decade, wi-fi has
:10:25. > :10:30.reigned supreme, the term has become a household name, and
:10:30. > :10:35.despite its somewhat limited range and speed, it has served our basic
:10:36. > :10:39.household needs. But today, we are much more demanding. We need more
:10:39. > :10:49.bandwidth, and a more elegant solution. This is where this comes
:10:49. > :10:56.
:10:56. > :11:02.in. Not that kind. Less fattening, it is all about slimming down. It
:11:02. > :11:06.is a brand new way of combining voice, video, and data on a single

:12:02. > :12:06.You simply replace any cable or plate with the box, and connect the

:12:47. > :12:51.issues. In the not-too-distant future, some boxers will include

:13:21. > :13:31.now or wait until it is twice the speed and half the price? That is a
