This app itself is a very small(492KB) and a simple tool – just install, and your Start Button (or Orb) makes a dramatic, heroic return.But there is one tiny winy problem here.The trouble is, this new button overlaps with the Taskbar, you will have to put an extra shift in to get things to make it look completely smooth. To solve this problem, what you need to do is simply create a new blank toolbar on the Taskbar, which will in turn shift the other icons across to the right– giving you uniformed finish.

Well that’s the workaround if you desperately need the Start button on your Windows 8 Consumer Preview.So if you haven’t downloaded Windows 8 Consumer Preview yet then what are you waiting for go ahead and download it.

”The easiest way to make a ballpark comparison of Windows 8 vs. Windows 7 memory use is to install both operating systems on a 1GB RAM machine (minimum OS RAM requirement) and compare them when they’ve been rebooted multiple times, and then idled for a while.”

As you can see the Windows 7 Run Time memory usage (Windows 7 Service Pack 1)

The below image shows the Reduced Run time memory usage in Windows 8

This reduction is mostly due to Services like Plug and Play, Windows Update, and the the user mode driver framework  which are  all trigger-started in Windows 8, in contrast to Windows 7, where these services were always running.

Windows 8 has a better scheme for the prioritization of memory allocations made by applications and system components. This means that Windows can make better decisions about what memory to keep around and what memory to remove sooner.Also,In Windows 8, any program has the ability to allocate memory as “low priority.” This is an important signal to Windows that if there is memory pressure, Windows can remove this low priority memory to make space, and it doesn’t affect other memory required to sustain the responsiveness of the system.

At this steady pace, Windows 7 is set to overtake its predecessors including Windows XP and Windows Vista. It has currently increased in market dominance over Windows XP in the US, however experts predict that it will still take some time for Windows 7 to increase its market dominance globally. With the phasing out of support for Windows XP in the next few years Windows 7 will be the main platform for a majority of Windows OS users.

The Statcounter report also states that Microsoft has gained more than 350 million licenses since the launch of Windows 7. Most of the licenses have been launched for home based Windows 7 operating systems than business operating systems.

Another citing of the report has indicated that Windows 7 still remains the third most popular OS in the market. In comparison to Mac OS X, Windows 7 seems to be doing better as the sales of Mac OS X has only declined marginally.So are you one of the Windows 7 user ?

Gigabyte’s is also giving a set of stereo speakers, VGA output, three USB 2.0 ports, and audio line-in to the tablet. One more feature is the optical drive, which is hard enough to find on docking stations these days. Oh, and if you need more battery then there’s also an optional 2700mAh battery bar that hooks onto the bottom of the tablet. Expect the S1080 to hit US markets in June for around $700, with pricing for dock to be said soon.
