Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) Gives Info On Windows 8 Broadband Features

Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) has provided details on mobile broadband
improvements in Windows 8. Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) Gives Info On
Windows 8 Broadband Features Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) has given
details on a variety of ways in which the upcoming Windows 8 operating system
will help users to manage their connections to Wi-Fi and mobile broadband
networks. Windows 8 features a common mobile-broadband class driver that works
with devices from a variety of mobile operators and vendors, eliminating the
need for users to install device driver software. Another enhancement in Windows
8 is that it provides native management within a single console of mobile
broadband device functions. Billy Anders, a Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT)
group program manager, said that, Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) looked at
the fundamentals of wireless connectivity and re-engineered Windows 8 for a
mobile and wireless future, going beyond incremental improvements. We knew that
if we were to give you true mobility, that Wi-Fi alone would not be enough.
Therefore, for Windows 8, we fully developed and integrated mobile broadband
(MB) as a first-class connectivity experience within Windows right alongside
Wi-Fi. Prior to Windows 8, you needed these applications to compensate for
functionality not provided natively in Windows. This additional software
confused and frustrated users by conflicting with the Windows connection
manager, showing different networks, network status, and a separate user
interface. Windows 8 eliminates this confusion by providing simple, intuitive,
and fully integrated radio and connection management. Microsoft Corp.
