For instance, media player on Windows 8 is only capable of playing Microsoft built-in video formats like WMV, AVI. Although there are plenty of free video player, minority of them are able to support for playing almost all the video. Moreover, the feature-rich menu and outstanding user interface are the preferred bonus. Microsoft is working hard to entice developers and users alike with its upcoming Windows 8 app store, but where the proverbial rubber meets the road Windows 8 is still two separate operating systems.A qualified video player for Windows 8 is supposed to equip with the ability of playing massive video with superduper audio video quality. The problem comes back to the fact that mobile devices serve different roles than PCs, and writing a single application that can meet the needs of both environments is tricky–if its possible at all. It is more efficient for developers to be able to write one application that works on both desktops and tablets, it is more cost effective for companies to purchase software that works in both environments, and it is more convenient for users to be able to use the same tools on both platforms rather than swimming upstream to find ways to integrate and sync the two.
The allure of having one cross-platform OS is the applications. It still seems sort of “Jekyll and Hyde”, though–it can either be a flashy Metro UI tablet, or it can be a Windows 7 desktop. The Windows 8 developer preview version I have now is pretty rough around the edges, but it has some pizazz, and definitely shows some promise.
