8 Great Windows 8 Features for Business
Microsoft’s latest release of Windows, Windows 8 has arrived. I have purchased a copy of Windows 8 myself
and have wondered what improvements it has for me and the company I work at.
One of the areas I am concerned about is security. With Windows 8, Microsoft has upgraded
Defender, its spyware program. The
previous versions lacked protection against trojans, worms and bot-net
attempts. The version that comes with
Windows 8 fixes that. Because Defender
comes with a basic anti-virus defense, IT managers will be able to save money
by not having to install third-party anti-virus programs. Combined with the new SmartScreen technology
which is used to verify downloads against a list of reputable files, it will
make it harder for viruses, worms and the like to get in.
Microsoft finally added BitLocker to the Windows 8 professional
version. BitLocker is an encryption
program for files, etc. I personally
have been waiting for this to happen! And they enhanced it too!
Other Windows 8 features for business include improved performance and better
backups, more efficient wireless connection management and better support for
virtualized systems and remote desktop support.
