   <title><![CDATA[Safari 5.1.7]]></title>
   <link>http://safari.en.softonic.com</link>
   <description><![CDATA[<p><!--[lead]--><br />Apple was wildly criticized when it launched <strong>Safari for Windows</strong>. That first version was so unstable and buggy it didn't cause the best of impressions.</p><p>Things have changed a lot since then however and Safari 5 sees some exciting introductions such as a new <strong>Reader</strong> icon for easier reading in one page, faster page load times and vastly improved HTML5 support. All of the previous features such as tabs on top for easier page management and <strong>Cover Flow</strong> to flip through your bookmarked sites iTunes style have been retained too.<br /><!--[/lead]--></p><p><!--[features]--><!--[subfeatures]--><h3>Features</h3><!--[/subfeatures]--><br />In the previous version of Safari, Apple introduced <strong>Top Sites</strong> which is one of the most impressive aspects of Safari. It shows a panoramic thumbnail view of your most visited sites in one screen. Just click on the window you want to visit that site. This certainly looks cool, although its day-to-day usefulness is questionable. It is a good way of tracking which sites you visit most frequently though and you can lock your favorite sites to one single position so that you'll always know where it is when you open Safari. Sites with a star in the corner denote those with new content.</p><p>Meanwhile <strong>Cover Flow</strong> lets you browse through your bookmarks presenting full page views of the sites as they looked the last time you browsed them. The principle is based on flipping through albums in iTunes. Again, this looks cool although usually, I don't really care what the site looked like the last time I visited it - I just want to get there as quickly as possible. What I do like is the History Search - just type a word and Safari throws up every single page it has cached with that word on - very useful when you can't remember where the hell you saw the name of that person or game.</p><p>Other handy features in Safari include <strong>Tabs on Top</strong> which makes it a little easier to access and open your tabs at the very top of Safari. You can even drag and drop tabs into another Safari window.<br /><!--[/features]--></p><p><!--[usability]--><!--[subusability]--><h3>Usability</h3><!--[/subusability]--><br />In this latest version, the most notable feature is the new <strong>Reader</strong> which allows you to view all of your content on one page although there is no way to change the font. There's also a new Bing search option for Safari's search field, in addition to Google and Yahoo! <strong>HTML5 support has been improved</strong> meaning you can now view HTML5 video in full screen plus HTML5 Geolocation features are now available to Safari users. Navigating in Safari has also been made much easier due to a <strong>more predictive URL bar</strong> which actually searches cached webpages for keywords and archiving of exactly when you viewed certain pages is more precise and refined.<br /><!--[/usability]--></p><p><!--[quality]--><!--[subquality]--><h3>Quality</h3><!--[/subquality]--><br />Speed has always been of the essence in Safari and Apple have stepped up the pace with an enhanced <strong>Nitro engine</strong> which it claims executes Javascript 25% faster than the last version. It's certainly damn quick and I'm mighty impressed at how fast it's loading my favorite sites such as YouTube and the BBC (and Softonic of course!).</p><p>In addition to these changes, all the standard features in Safari remain. By clicking on the RSS tag in the URL bar, you can get a view of all the posts in a feed, which you can present chronologically and get a detailed or a title view. There will be inevitably some programs and plugins - such as 1Password - that don't work with this new version of Safari but these issues will quickly be ironed out by the developers of respective software.<br /><!--[/quality]--></p><p><!--[conclusion]--><!--[subconclusion]--><h3>Conclusion</h3><!--[/subconclusion]--><br /><strong>I love the look and speed of Safari but the lack of plugins available compared to Firefox and general instability issues mean that it's still going to be a while before Apple can lure me over to their browser.</strong><br /><!--[/conclusion]--></p><p>Download <a title="Safari 5.1.7" href="http://safari.en.softonic.com"><strong>Safari 5.1.7</strong></a> in <a title="Free software downloads and reviews - Softonic" href="http://en.softonic.com/">Softonic</a></p>]]></description>

   <title><![CDATA[Microsoft Office 2013 Professional Plus 15.0.4454.1002]]></title>
   <link>http://microsoft-office-2013.en.softonic.com</link>
   <description><![CDATA[<p><!--[lead]--><strong>Microsoft Office 2013</strong> is a suite of productivity applications designed to help you improve the way you work.<br /><!--[/lead]--></p><p><!--[whatsnew]--><!--[subwhatsnew]--><h3>What's new in Office 2013?</h3><!--[/subwhatsnew]--></p><p><strong>Microsoft Office 2013</strong> is by no means a revolutionary update to the venerable <a href="http://en.softonic.com/windows/office-suites" target="_blank">office suite</a> but this is the first version of Microsoft Office that has good <strong>cloud integration</strong> and a<strong> touch-friendly interface</strong>.</p><p><a href="http://microsoft-skydrive.en.softonic.com/" target="_blank">SkyDrive</a> will be the backbone of Microsoft Office 2013. <strong>Settings</strong>, <strong>documents</strong>, <strong>templates</strong>, and even custom <strong>user dictionaries will all be synced</strong> to the cloud so that you have a consistent Office experience on whatever device, wherever you are.</p><p>There are also new social features shown in Microsoft Office 2013 including <strong>automatic picture importing</strong> from services like <a href="http://facebook.en.softonic.com/web-apps" target="_blank">Facebook</a> and <a href="http://en.softonic.com/s/flickr" target="_blank">Flickr</a>. Easier sharing also brings along easier collaboration. Users can now hold a multi-person video conference while editing a single document.<br /><!--[/whatsnew]--></p><p><!--[features]--><!--[subfeatures]--><h3>What you get inside Office 2013</h3><!--[/subfeatures]--></p><p><h3><strong>PowerPoint 2013</strong></h3><br />Microsoft kept the ribbon interface (love it or hate it) in <a title="PowerPoint 2013" href="http://powerpoint-2013.en.softonic.com">PowerPoint 2013</a>, but it is now hidden by default on the Window RT version of Microsoft Office 2013. You can bring up the ribbon with a tap of a button. The ribbon can also be hidden on the desktop version with a simple double click.</p><p>PowerPoint will also feature <strong>full stylus support</strong> to make giving presentations easier. Users can annotate their slides instantly. There's also a great new feature where the presenter can have <strong>notes on his or her screen</strong> but only have the main slide open on the audience's screen.</p><p><h3><strong>Outlook 2013</strong></h3><br /><a title="Outlook 2013" href="http://outlook-2013.en.softonic.com">Outlook 2013</a> is receiving a Metro-styled interface as well, but with lots of new functionality too. First of all, <strong>Aero Peek</strong>, a feature that was first introduced in Windows 7, makes its way into Outlook. With Aero Peek, users can now quickly hover over their Contacts, Calendar, or Tasks and have a fully manipulable pop up display.</p><p>One of the more impressive features that was built into Outlook 2013 is its ability to <strong>intelligently suggest events and appointments</strong>. Outlook will detect when someone wants to create an appointment by looking for locations, time, and specific keywords. This makes adding events to your calendar much easier.</p><p>Last but not least, Microsoft also announced <strong>powerful developer tools</strong> to create plugins for Outlook. They demoed a fully interactive Bing map within a body of an email, without having to jump into a browser.</p><p><h3><strong>Word 2013</strong></h3><br /><a title="Word 2013" href="http://word-2013.en.softonic.com">Word 2013</a> didn't receive as much of an overhaul, but Microsoft worked hard on polishing it up. Settings, defaults, templates and user dictionaries will all be synced between each version of Word so you'll have one unified user experience with Word on every one of your devices. There's a new <strong>reading mode</strong> that formats your documents to be touch friendly like pages of a book. Videos from YouTube can now be embedded directly within documents.</p><p><h3><strong>OneNote 2013</strong></h3><br />OneNote has always been an excellent note taking app and this latest version is no different. Users can <strong>import pictures</strong>,<strong> video</strong>, and <strong>annotate</strong> all of these things within the application. Microsoft demoed its new "<strong>radial menu</strong>" for touch friendly editing. Hold down and a circular menu will pop up. Drag your finger to whatever option you want and let go. This interface is intuitive and powerful, letting users change fonts, colors, and formatting within seconds. Unfortunately, this touch menu has only been featured in the <a href="http://onenote-mx.en.softonic.com/" target="_blank">OneNote MX</a> preview application.</p><p><h3><strong>Excel 2013</strong></h3><br />Microsoft finally acknowledged how complicated Excel is for the average user. <a title="Excel 2013" href="http://excel-2013.en.softonic.com">Excel 2013</a> is still going to be a <strong>powerful tool for data analysis</strong>, but Microsoft has made an effort to simplify processes across the application. Users now have access to menus that preform "<strong>quick analysis</strong>" for their data, simply by selecting an option from a menu. Excel looks at the data and offers the best solution for presenting or organizing it.<br /><!--[/features]--></p><p><!--[usability]--><!--[subusability]--><h3>Installation issues</h3><!--[/subusability]--></p><p>Installation of Microsoft Office 2013 can be a bit of a pain on Windows 7. The Office 2013 preview downloads as an image file, which will need to be burned to a disc or you'll need a drive virtualization tool like <a title="daemon tools" href="http://daemon-tools.en.softonic.com/" rel="nofollow">Daemon Tools</a> to create and mount the image. Windows 8 users will not have to worry about this as the operating system includes a disc virtualization tool.<br /><!--[/usability]--></p><p><!--[quality]--><!--[subquality]--><h3>Compatibility concerns</h3><!--[/subquality]--></p><p>Microsoft Office 2013 creates a nice ecosystem for those already using their office suite but it <strong>may not be enough to woo users from other services or applications that are free</strong>. Microsoft also announced that Microsoft Office 2013 will only be compatible with Windows 7 and <a href="http://windows-8-consumer-preview.en.softonic.com/" target="_blank">Windows 8</a>. XP and Vista users will be left out in the cold.<br /><!--[/quality]--></p><p><!--[conclusion]--><!--[subconclusion]--><h3>Conclusion</h3><!--[/subconclusion]--></p><p>While Microsoft Office 2013 received some nice updates, there was <strong>nothing revolutionary</strong> that was announced. Microsoft played the catch-up game with Microsoft Office 2013, giving its office suite many features its competitors like <a href="http://google-drive.en.softonic.com/" target="_blank">Google Drive</a> and Apple Mail have had for a while.</p><p><strong>Overall, Microsoft Office 2013 offers some huge improvements over its previous versions with great cloud and touch features but this may not be enough for it to say as the king of office suites.</strong><br /><!--[/conclusion]--></p><p>Download <a title="Microsoft Office 2013 Professional Plus 15.0.4454.1002" href="http://microsoft-office-2013.en.softonic.com"><strong>Microsoft Office 2013 Professional Plus 15.0.4454.1002</strong></a> in <a title="Free software downloads and reviews - Softonic" href="http://en.softonic.com/">Softonic</a></p>]]></description>

   <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Windows 8 Cheat Keys for Windows 8</strong> provides 50 <a title="Software Utilities" rel="nofollow" href="http://en.softonic.com/windows/software-utilities">shortcuts and tips</a> that will ease anyone into the Windows 8 interface. Windows 8 Cheat Keys for Windows 8's emphasis is on providing <strong>information on new icons and features</strong> such as rearranging tiles, naming tile groups, and peeking at passwords. As the name implies the application also lists a large array of Windows shortcut key commands including showing the Charms bar, toggling a power user menu, and turning on verbal narrator.</p><p>Windows 8 Cheat Keys for Windows 8 isn’t just for standard PCs: the application provides specific <strong>solutions for touch screen</strong> commands on Surface and tablets. It also links to the secondary Jack of Tools application which further enhances any on board compass, GPS, camera, or light sensor. You shouldn’t feel obligated to install this other application if your device lacks said features.</p><p>Overall Windows 8 Cheat Keys for Windows 8 is very simplistic and provides a <strong>great guide for anyone new to the Windows 8 operating system</strong>. While Windows 8 Cheat Keys for Windows 8 could have been improved with a video tutorial, the current package will suffice anyone willing to study. It’s only small blemish is the moderate sized ad banner; while it typically shows advertisements for Bing and related Microsoft programs, it can occasionally flash seemingly random product ads.</p><p><strong>Windows 8 Cheat Keys for Windows 8 lacks any form of fancy features, instead providing raw information for new Windows 8 users across PC and tablets.</strong></p><p>Download <a title="Windows 8 Cheat Keys for Windows 8" href="http://windows-8-cheat-keys-for-windows-8.en.softonic.com"><strong>Windows 8 Cheat Keys for Windows 8</strong></a> in <a title="Free software downloads and reviews - Softonic" href="http://en.softonic.com/">Softonic</a></p>]]></description>

It boasts improved performance on the previous version, and more features.</p><p>If you didn't like the ribbon interface that was introduced in Office 2007, then you're not going to like Word 2013. The ribbon interface is back but has been improved on. Menu items have been moved around to make the most <strong>commonly-used features more easily accessible</strong>. The menu items in the ribbon have received aesthetic updates to make them more easily distinguishable from one another.</p><p>There is also a '<strong>Touch Mode</strong>,' making Word 2013 much more touch-friendly than previous versions. This mode is only available if you have a touch screen enabled computer. Buttons will become bigger, making it easier to select items.</p><p>The welcome screen has been redesigned to be more useful. You can see your recently-opened documents as well as a bunch of new templates. There is also a search box at the top where you can search for more templates online. This is extremely handy since Word 2013 doesn't include every type of format out of the box.</p><p>Inserting pictures is much easier now as Word 2013 can pull in photos from your <a title="flickr " rel="nofollow" href="http://flickr.en.softonic.com/web-apps">Flickr</a>, <a title="facebook" rel="nofollow" href="http://facebook.en.softonic.com/web-apps">Facebook</a>, and <a title="microsoft skydrive" rel="nofollow" href="http://microsoft-skydrive.en.softonic.com/">SkyDrive</a> accounts. Word 2013 also allows you to <strong>search for pictures</strong> under the Creative Commons license with Bing. There are also new guides to make placing and sizing images much easier within Word 2013.</p><p>PDF support is also much improved in Word 2013. PDFs will now open in Word as if they were Word documents. You can <strong>convert Word documents to PDF</strong>, which will retain the formatting you've done. Converting and opening PDFs in Word 2013 happen quickly.</p><p>New for Word 2013 is the ability to <strong>download apps</strong>. Microsoft has an <a title="office store beta" rel="nofollow" href="http://onsoftware.en.softonic.com/microsoft-office-store-opens-in-beta">Office apps store</a> where you can download and install different productivity tools like dictionaries. While some apps are useful, they do take up screen space and don't work well with multiple documents on one screen.</p><p>Collaboration has also gotten easier with Word 2013. You can still track changes but if you have an Office 365 account, comments can be synced to everyone's document so everyone collaborating on the document will have access to the most recent version. Comments can be marked as done and will be grayed out, making it less distracting.</p><p><strong>If you're happy with your current word processor, there may not be enough new features to make upgrading to Word 2013 compelling. Still, Word 2013 offers incremental updates and features that make it the best version of the word processcor yet.</strong></p><p>Download <a title="Word 2013 Preview 15.0.4420.1017" href="http://word-2013.en.softonic.com"><strong>Word 2013 Preview 15.0.4420.1017</strong></a> in <a title="Free software downloads and reviews - Softonic" href="http://en.softonic.com/">Softonic</a></p>]]></description>

   <description><![CDATA[<img src="http://screenshots.en.sftcdn.net/en/scrn/89000/89316/cuterank04.jpg" border="0" align="right" style="margin:0px 5px 5px;" /> <p>If you have a blog or website, you'll know how important it is to make sure it is performing well in keyword rankings. There are lots of ways to do this, but sometimes you want a simple tool that will give you a basic overview without too much fuss.</p><p>CuteRank is a tool like this, an uncomplicated program that will assess your website's keyword performance on 6 search engines - Google, Caffeine, Yahoo, Bing, Ask and AOL. CuteRank does this quickly and uses an easily understandable interface to display the results in terms of engine, area, rank, change, time of update and URL.</p><p>You can also configure CuteRank to schedule regular updates to see if your keywords position is changing over time. The tool also allows you to keep a record of results over history and export the data in CSV, PDF or HTML format.</p><p>Although CuteRank provides a clear interface from which to view your rankings, it doesn't actually offer you anything that you can't get online. Some people will like the history and export options, but I was a little worried by CuteRank's inclusion of Caffeine, a Google development project that is no longer accessible. They explain why on their blog, but not in the program, something that could mislead users.</p><p><strong>If you're looking for a clear layout, CuteRank is a good way of viewing your keyword rankings.</strong></p><p>Download <a title="CuteRank 3.5.4" href="http://cuterank.en.softonic.com"><strong>CuteRank 3.5.4</strong></a> in <a title="Free software downloads and reviews - Softonic" href="http://en.softonic.com/">Softonic</a></p>]]></description>

   <link>http://google-search-windows-8.en.softonic.com</link>
   <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Google Search</strong> is a <a title="browser search tools" rel="nofollow" href="http://en.softonic.com/windows/multi-search">browser search tool</a> for Windows 8's Modern UI.</p><p>Google lovers using Windows 8 will be happy to know that Google Search will let you search with your favorite search engine instead of having to use Bing. To get started, watch the short tutorial about the <strong>different gestures</strong> for Windows 8. Then log in and all of your Google stuff will be there waiting for you.</p><p>Google Search is more than just a box for a Google page. There is a section for 'apps,' which just opens up Google web apps in the app. You have access to <a title="gmail" rel="nofollow" href="http://gmail-1.en.softonic.com/web-apps">Gmail</a>, <a title="google maps" rel="nofollow" href="http://google-maps.en.softonic.com/web-apps">Maps</a>, <a title="google calendar" rel="nofollow" href="http://google-calendar.en.softonic.com/web-apps">Caldendar</a> and more. Still, search is at the heart of Google Search for Windows 8. It's great for searching for information. Results show up as you type and links open up within the app.</p><p><strong>Voice search</strong> also makes it into Google Search for Windows 8. Tap on the Voice Search icon and speak your search query. It works well and offers a similar experience on iOS. There are also instant previews that show you screenshots of each site so you have an idea of what you're looking for, even before you click.</p><p>The biggest reason to download Google Search is that it can <strong>replace <a title="Bing" rel="nofollow" href="http://bing.en.softonic.com/web-apps">Bing</a> as your default search app</strong> in Windows 8. Users can activate a search using Google Search from the <a title="windows 8 charms bar" rel="nofollow" href="http://onsoftware.en.softonic.com/windows-8-guide-in-depth-look-at-the-charms-bar">Charms Bar</a> or from a keyboard shortcut. Having this level of integration with the operating system makes Google Search a must have app.</p><p><strong>If you prefer Google over Bing, you'll definitely need to download this app.</strong></p><p>Download <a title="Google Search for Windows 8 1.0.1.68" href="http://google-search-windows-8.en.softonic.com"><strong>Google Search for Windows 8 1.0.1.68</strong></a> in <a title="Free software downloads and reviews - Softonic" href="http://en.softonic.com/">Softonic</a></p>]]></description>

   <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>G Maps</strong> provides a basic <a title="map and geography software" rel="nofollow" href="http://en.softonic.com/windows/geography-software">mapping</a> experience for Windows 8 and Windows RT users.</p><p>If <a title="bing maps metro" rel="nofollow" href="http://maps-metro.en.softonic.com/">Bing Maps</a> isn't to your fancy and you want Google maps on your Windows 8 or RT device, G Maps will give you that, but with <strong>a lot of compromises</strong>. Opening G Maps will show you basic map data that it sources from Google Maps. You can toggle between different views like <strong>satellite and topography</strong>.</p><p>You'll notice that G Maps has the ability to find directions for you too. <strong>Unfortunately, they don't work</strong>. Whenever we tried looking up directions, G Maps would crash consistently, rendering this feature useless. There is also no traffic information of any kind.</p><p><strong>Also noticeably lacking from G Maps is detailed information about points of interest</strong>. You tapping or clicking on a point of interest will pull up basic information but is not nearly as rich of an experience as Google Maps in the browser. G Maps is as useful as a paper map. At least the paper map doesn't crash.</p><p><strong>With so many features lacking and stability issues, it's impossible to recommend G Maps over the included Bing Maps.</strong></p><p>Download <a title="G Maps for Windows 8 1.0.0.5" href="http://g-maps-windows-8.en.softonic.com"><strong>G Maps for Windows 8 1.0.0.5</strong></a> in <a title="Free software downloads and reviews - Softonic" href="http://en.softonic.com/">Softonic</a></p>]]></description>

   <link>http://windows-8.en.softonic.com</link>
   <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Windows 8</strong> is Microsoft's latest operating system that combines the tablet Modern UI interface with the traditional Windows desktop.</p><p><h3><strong>Overview</strong></h3></p><p>With this trial of Windows 8, users have an opportunity to test a slick and solid operating system that promises to revolutionize the way you do everything, from browsing the web to viewing multimedia files.</p><p>This is the most ambitious operating system that Microsoft has ever created. By blending both a tablet interface and a traditional desktop interface, Microsoft hopes that Windows 8 can please everyone. But can it? Let's find out.</p><p><h3><strong>Modern Interface</h3></strong></p><p>As seen in the numerous preview versions, the Windows 8 interface is one of the largest changes to the Windows operating system. Every app you install on the new Modern interface is shown in multiple colored squares on your screen. Each square acts as a shortcut to open the program or the corresponding directory. Each panel is also fully customizable, so you can group apps together.</p><p><h3><strong>New features</strong></h3></p><p><strong>Flash</strong></p><p>The use of <taglink type="program" country="en" id="5263">Flash</taglink> in Windows 8 is one of the primary updates. Working together, Microsoft and Adobe have created a situation-specific version of Flash that works with Internet Explorer 10. This ensures Flash will run when you want it do, such as during video play-back, but won't affect your PC's performance or battery life by running when unnecessary. This is especially important for Windows RT users who value battery life and performance on the go.</p><p><strong>New apps</strong></p><p>There are also quite a few Windows Store expansions when it comes to apps included natively in the Modern interface. Bing has added apps for travel, sports and news, for example. There are also, of course, existing <a href="http://en.softonic.com/s/metro-app/windows-8">Modernapps</a> that were released in conjunction with Windows 8. Some of these include Weather, Maps and Finance.</p><p><strong>Surfing the web</strong></p><p>Windows 8 ties up a lot of loose ends in terms of stability issues seen in its preview versions. There is also a new feature users can look forward to called <strong>Flip ahead</strong>, <taglink type="program" country="en" id="318673">IE</taglink> which uses crowd-sourcing to determine what web page you're the most likely to click on next during your web browsing. To advance, all you have to do is swipe the screen if you have touch screen capabilities or click the forward arrow onscreen to get to the next page. This feature works while searching <taglink type="program" country="en" id="131050">Bing</taglink>, of course, but is also compatible with other search engines, so long as you're using Internet Explorer 10.</p><p>There's also now a <strong>Share feature</strong> in Windows 8's Modern UI version of the IE browser that lets you share web pages with friends - just open the Charms Bar then choose Share and you can Tweet or Facebook your page.</p><p>In addition, both desktop and Modern UI versions of this Windows 8 have Flash 11.3 built right into it.</p><p><strong>Mail</strong></p><p>In Windows 8, the Mail feature has also been tweaked to add a better user experience. You can pin multiple inboxes to your start screen to differentiate between your different email accounts more easily. There is also a useful threaded conversation feature, which groups emails from the same conversation thread. Microsoft also addressed some stability issues to ensure less instances of app crashes.</p><p><h3><strong>Windows 8 Pro</strong></h3></p><p>Stepping up to Windows 8 Pro, users will gain the following features:</p><p><strong>BitLocker Drive Encryption and BitLocker To Go</strong></p><p>This is great for people looking for more security. BitLocker will encrypt the entire drive and prevent hackers from getting to your precious information if your computer is ever lost or stolen. BitLocker To Go will provide the same level of encryption to your USB drives.</p><p>It's nice to see business oriented features like this be included in a consumer oriented version of Windows 8.</p><p><strong>Functionality Hyper-V virtualization</strong></p><p>This is a very technical piece of software that's oriented toward IT professionals, allowing them to deploy software and manage servers.</p><p><strong>Remote Desktop</strong></p><p>Remote Desktop is a great feature for those who need to access their computer remotely. It's also a great tool for those who need to provide tech support for their friends and family. This feature was first introduced in Windows XP but has been refined over subsequent versions.</p><p><strong>Windows Media Center</strong></p><p>Fans of Windows Media Center will have to upgrade to Windows 8 Pro to get these features back. This is also the first time that Windows Media Center will be a paid add-on for Windows 8. This will anger many Windows users who have home theater PCs.</p><p><h3><strong>Windows 8 Enterprise</strong></h3></p><p>Going up to <a title="Windows 8 Enterprise" rel="nofollow" href="http://windows-8-enterprise.en.softonic.com/">Windows 8 Enterprise</a> will add the following features:</p><p><strong>Windows to go</strong></p><p>This feature will allow Windows 8 to be installed and run from a mass storage devices like USB drives and external hard drives. This makes it fully manageable in corporate environments. This makes imaging and deploying a copy of Windows simple for system administrators.</p><p><strong>Access via DirectAccess VPN</strong></p><p>This allows users to work from home as it will create a secure connection to a company's internal network from anywhere.</p><p><strong>BranchCahce</strong></p><p>BranchCahce enables PC cache files from a central server, which helps to improve speed. This is perfect for companies that have offices in different locations. BranchCahce will enable servers to automatically retrieve and deploy local copies of files to remote clients.</p><p><strong>AppLocker</strong></p><p>This feature allows you to lock access to applications if you share a computer.</p><p><h3><strong>Conclusion</strong></h3></p><p>Microsoft has offered a lot of welcome changes in its Windows 8. Navigation on a desktop is still a bit tricky without touchscreen capabilities, but many will appreciate the simplicity of the Modern interface, as well as the completely redesigned apps that come with Windows 8. If you'd like more details on installing, just have a look at Lewis' handy blog post telling you how. Don't forget to check if you need the 32 or <taglink type="program" country="en" id="3344688">64bit version</taglink>.</p><p><strong>Windows 8 is a necessary change for Microsoft but it remains to be seen if its gamble on this radical new operating system will be adopted by consumers.</strong></p><p>Download <a title="Windows 8  32 Bit" href="http://windows-8.en.softonic.com"><strong>Windows 8  32 Bit</strong></a> in <a title="Free software downloads and reviews - Softonic" href="http://en.softonic.com/">Softonic</a></p>]]></description>
