Announcing Windows 10 pReview 

 

1. Start Menu

Microsoft returned what they took it away. That's right! The start button is back. so eventually, whats' old is new again.

A small difference is that, you can even have a customized tile menu inside as you look into the image. We didn't lose the start screen of Windows 8 either. 


2.  One Windows - One Store

That's right. from Windows 10 onwards we have only one store where you can download apps for Windows Phone, Surface or Desktop. I personally think that this is a good change to bring. Unified store for all windows. Awesome.





3. Multiple Desktops

This is like multiple workspace in Ubuntu. You can have number of desktops and run different apps on each of them. Just reinventing the wheel. But definitely this would be a whole new UI experience for Windows users.

You can have a different desktop for Gaming another one for your accounts another one for photos etc. This would be very helpful when it comes to Enterprises.


4. Improved Command Prompt

We can copy and paste using shortcuts in command prompt. isn't that awesome ?









5. Find Files Easier

File Explorer now displays your recent files and frequently visited folders making for finding files you’ve worked on is easier.

bing “Visual Search” – a new dimension of search engine

Wednesday, September 16, 2009

Bing is more than a search engine. It is a Entertainer.

“a picture really worth a thousand words”. Search engines are now focused on extracting useful information from web pages and surfacing data in interesting ways.

Textual days are gone, we are now at visual days.Here is an  alternative way of textual search (keyword search)  is visual search by Bing.

Text search can only take you so far. Sometimes, you know exactly what something looks like, but you just can’t remember the name. A new Bing feature called Visual Search will come in very handy in such cases.

It works great when, for example, you’re shopping for gadgets or looking for a famous person whose name you just cannot remember. You can also start by browsing; for example, the Visual Search lets you visualize MLB players, after which you can filter them out by their earnings and various game stats.

Search for [dog breeds] and you'll find a list of breeds, suggestive images, information about the average weight and the country of origin.

"Visual Search allows you to quickly scroll through the galleries or do a one-click refinement using the quick tabs on the left, which are specifically relevant to the type of results you are browsing through," mentions Bing's blog.

Bing's visual galleries are more polished than the results generated by Google Squared, but Bing only shows galleries for a small number of queries like "popular TV shows" or "world leaders" or “Yoga Poses” and the information is obtained from structured data sources.

 

bing-visual2 Note ;- Check out the filter options provided.

Visual Search is unlikely to become a user's first stop when looking for information. But when you only know what something looks like, a visual search capability, done properly, can save the day.

It remains to be seen if Microsoft manages to extend the visual search engine and dynamically generate results for any query. For now, you can play with the demo galleries.
