Need of the hour is to create jobs for youth: India Inc

India Inc today asked the government to take steps to boost the manufacturing sector and create employment avenues, a day after Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi said the nation cannot progress without the engagement of business and industry.

“Industry is in agreement with the view that the rich and poor need to work together to ensure a better future for all citizens of India. With 15 to 20 million more youth entering the workforce each year, the need of the hour is to ensure creation of new employment opportunities,” CII President Kris Gopalakrishnan said.

Gandhi said yesterday that ongoing works like laying of new railway lines and setting up of freight corridor will create new avenues in manufacturing sector for the youths in the country.

“We have been supportive of the Government’s policy and plan on manufacturing where they have focused on building large National Investment and Manufacturing Zones (NIMZ) and industrial corridors that intend to provide world-class infrastructure to the manufacturing sector and create jobs for millions of people,” Ficci President Naina Lal Kidwai said.

Without busines and industry, the country cannot progress. We want there should be a partnership between the poor and the rich, Gandhi said yesterday at a rally.

“Only manufacturing sector can create the huge number of jobs required to ensure livelihood to 15 to 20 million new entrants to the job market each year. Manufacturing needs a special toolbox of policy sets that can lift investor sentiments and catalyse projects,” CII Past President and Chairman of Godrej Group Adi Godrej said.

“Irrespective of the party in power, Assocham has always stood by inclusive growth reaching out to the people at large. The industry and businesses are incomplete without working for the people of the country as they contribute to economic growth,” Assocham Secretary General D S Rawat said.

“Two areas in particular need to be addressed to enable business and industry to take the lead role in employment creation for youth, infrastructure development and facilitative business climate,” CII President-designate and Chairman of DCM Shriram Ajay Shriram said.

This is the first time that a leader of a political party has given thrust to manufacturing sector, said Venu Srinivasan, CII Past President and Managing Director of Sundaram Clayton.

Making freshers job ready

Making freshers job ready

Transition from college to corporate life is indeed complex and intense. There are no lesson plans to follow and no DIY brochures. However, organisations are stepping in to ensure this shift is smooth 

TimesJobs.com Bureau 

Building the connect 

According to Meenakshi Iyengar, senior vice president & head, Human Resource, Fractal Analytics, “Effective on-boarding requires a robust induction programme that starts with the first several weeks and builds over the first year. Companies could set up online portals that enables freshers to interact with their managers, gives them easy access to corporate information that makes them well versed before the induction begins. She adds that to further help the new hire become organisation ready and to help them to advance on the value chain, training should include behaviors, technical, problem-solving, communication, management skills.

Pinning responsibility

While, at the institutional level it is the responsibility of the institute to groom students for corporate life, once they join an organisation, this responsibility rests with the HR department and the immediate reporting authority. “The responsibility for grooming belongs to all. At the outset, it is the responsibility of the institute to groom students. It’s also important that students show an eagerness to develop. When they join the corporate it’s the responsibility of the HR managers to groom and develop freshers,” stated Shaheed Ahmad, Head HR, Hindustan Motors Ltd, in one of TimesJobs.com’s ‘High-Tea’ chat session.

The three key steps 

While there are various things an organisation can do to groom freshers to fit into the corporate circle, Iyengar shares three steps that can help ease the process.

Being clear and precise: Well-defined job roles, expectations and success criteria are imperative to drive employee performance, and especially so for those entering the job market for the first time.  To ensure programmes are working, we recommend rigorous testing and measurement, frequent manager engagement and specific direction on how each person can hone their skills. Job roles along with clarity of career track help can give directions to succeed in future.

Creating an open environment: Onboarding programmes should go beyond training, to harnessing a personal connect with the freshers. Providing an open environment for informal and personal chats, engagement through social portals, skill testing through online certification programme, etc can stimulate the bonding. A structured mentorship and buddy programme can further help freshers deal with the day to day challenges. While mentors can coach them on technical skills, buddy helps them integrate with the organisation socially.

Holistic approach: A comprehensive programme is the key to help fresher’s transition to corporate life, inculcate organisational values and provide the first a stepping stone towards professional career. Organisations should focus on making this experience unique through personal bonding thereby leaving an everlasting impression.

Tony Mira, CEO and Group Founder, Ajuba Solutions

Lessons from My First Job: Tony Mira, CEO and Group Founder, Ajuba Solutions

Tony Mira, CEO and Group Founder, Ajuba Solutions shares his first job experience…

Neha Singh Verma, TimesJobs.com Bureau

My First Job: I have been in healthcare industry for over 33 years. I have always been an entrepreneur and after I completed my education I started a small healthcare medical billing company in US. That small billing company is the foundation of what today is Ajuba.

My experience: My education background has been health sciences and business administration.  My experience in healthcare services goes deep. When I started my company there were only two employees, my wife and myself. Together we did everything. From picking up the mail to creating insurance claims to submitting the claims to various insurance companies. Once payment was received for the services we also manually posted the claims in various patient accounts. We picked up the phone and called patients and insurance companies in order to resolve their account.  As you can see I have touched and had experience in all aspects of the operations. I believe that this is the best experience a CEO can have by rolling up his or her sleeves and actually doing the work in all areas of the operations.  When you do that then you get to appreciate the work your employees are doing and see a greater value to that work.

Things I learnt: Two things that I have learned in business is to be patient and respectful of your employees.

Skills I Acquired: As my company grew I learned to be more conscious of time and time management.  Time management and responsiveness is very important in the success of any business.

My Manager’s teaching: Since I had no mangers to teach me. I learned everything by trial and error.   This is the hard way of learning but ultimately it gives you deep experience.

My Biggest Achievement: My biggest achievement is taking a company that was formed with only two employees 33 years ago to today to over 3000 employees globally.

My Biggest Mistake: My biggest mistake was trusting a business partner years ago whose potential goal was to see the demise of the company.

My Journey So Far: My journey so far has been rewarding and have had many ups and downs but with each down turn there has always been greater up turns. You need to have faith in yourself and your employees and never give up. A journey that you never give up and continue moving forward is ultimately the most rewarding journey.

Turning Point in my Career: The turning point in my business was when we transformed a US based company to a global company.

My most crucial step/assignment: My most crucial steps were as the company grew I decided to acquire other companies to expand the foot print and service line. Integrating acquisitions to the exiting company was a crucial and critical step that could either create a much larger organisation or could potentially have a negative financial effect on the organization with various disruptions. I believe consolidation was a critical time in the organisation which ultimately makes up what we have today.

My Advice:  My advice is always look at failure as a stepping stone to future success. Always use failure to your advantage and learn from it and push forward. Failure is part of everyone’s life, how you deal with it will determine your future.

Where I see myself 5 years from here: I see myself where I am today focused on my company with one thing. I will continue to grow the company globally and enter new markets. Globalisation is happening very rapidly and companies like Ajuba need to stay ahead of it and go where the client opportunities are.

Top 9 breakfast mistakes to avoid

Healthy weight: Top 9 breakfast mistakes to avoid

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but what people do not know about this meal is that if they skip this meal, it could have an adverse effect on their weight.

Akansha Jhalani, Registered Dietitian and health blogger at Beyond The Weighing Scale, helps you decode the myths associated with breakfast, so that you enjoy the most important meal of the day in a healthy way.

Top breakfast mistake to avoid # 1: Juicing your fruit
When you start your blender to juice oranges, remember that this process causes the fruit to lose most of its vitamins, minerals and fibre. Instead, replace your juice with a glass of water and a whole fruit. It will save you some extra calories.

Top breakfast mistake to avoid # 2: Eating a baby size breakfast
Eating whatever you want cannot help you escape from those extra calories. It is a common myth that eating whatever you wish after a long gap of fasting will not make you gain weight. Oily parathas, waffles, leftover dinner can lead to extra calorie consumption.

Top breakfast mistake to avoid # 3: Beware of breakfast treats
The tempting doughnuts and muffins can cause as much as an entire meal's caloric consumption. When placed in front of you, take a deep breath and realise that you have set healthy lifestyle changes and politely decline.

Top breakfast mistake to avoid # 4: Monitor your caffeine intake
One cup of coffee or tea could help boost your mood and metabolism, but avoid drinking multiple cups of coffee. This can cause sleep deprivation and coffee add-ons can reflect on your body in a bad way.

Top breakfast mistake to avoid # 5: Unhealthy breakfast
Eat a fist full of nuts, a bowl of cereal and a whole fruit instead of chocolate pancakes, muffins and mayo sandwiches. High calorie and high fat items can cause a sugar spike and recurring spikes could cause health issues.

Top breakfast mistake to avoid # 6: Thinking breakfast is not important
Even if you feel full from the previous day's dinner or are in a rush, make sure you eat a quick breakfast. Skipping breakfast slows down our metabolism and makes us feel lethargic. A slice of whole-wheat toast, a fruit or a fist full of sprouts can do the trick.

Top breakfast mistake to avoid # 7: Avoid breakfast buffets
Buffets and large breakfast spreads could make you eat more than you need. Do not stuff yourself silly by opting for sugar coated cereals, doughnuts and fruit cocktails. Instead, choose egg preparations, leaner meats, oats, wheat flakes and milk.

Top breakfast mistake to avoid # 8: Gorging on food early in the morning
Have a glass of lukewarm water, first thing in the morning. It helps to keep you hydrated, aids digestion, cures gastric ailments and gives you a feeling of fullness.

Top breakfast mistake to avoid # 9: Not eating a healthy breakfast
Try and eat a healthy breakfast like green tea with a lemon wedge, oats with half a banana/ an egg preparation with an orange and whole wheat toast.

Gionee Elife E6 review

It hasn't been long since Chinese device maker Gionee set foot in the Indian market, and the company seems to have generated some buzz in this period, taking on Indian device makers like Micromax, Karbonn and Xolo with its budget smartphones, offering decent hardware specifications at an economy price.

The Gionee Elife E6 is the company's latest flagship phone. The phone got our attention with its sleek unibody form factor and clean lines, not usually seen in mid-range smartphones.

The Elife E6 boasts of a full-HD screen, which is one of its major USPs, with only a handful of phones in the same price range that offer a 1080p display.

Is the Gionee Elife E6 the best Android smartphone in its class? We find out in our detailed re review.

Build / Design
The Gionee Elife E6 features a premium unibody design with a polycarbonate build that can be compared to the likes of the Nokia Lumia phones. It also borrows some elements from the iPhone 5's design, with a similar rectangular slab and rounded corners form factor. Even the positioning of the camera lens, the speaker grill and the Micro-USB port is similar to that of the iPhone 5 / 5s (the iPhone has a lightning connector port at the same place, though).

 We had a White colour variant of the Gionee Elife E6 as our review unit, although the phone also comes in a Black colour variant.  The phone's body (excluding the front) sports a glossy, enamel like finish and can be slippery at times, owing to the phone's large form factor.

The front of the Elife E6 features a 5-inch IPS Full-HD display, with the sensor array, a 5-megapixel front-facing camera lens and a notification LED are located above it. The three capacitive touch buttons, namely the Menu, Home and Back key, are located below the display.

The side edges of the Gionee Elife E6 are not rounded, and are relatively sharp. The volume rocker key is located at the right edge, while the micro-SIM tray is located at the left edge. The power / screen lock key sits at the top, with the 3.5mm headset jack and the Micro-USB port is placed at the bottom edge with the two speaker grills. The hardware buttons are metallic, and offer decent tactile feedback.

The back of the phone sports minimal branding towards the bottom, with the 13-megapixel camera lens and LED flash located toward the top left corner. The glossy finish of the back makes the Gionee Elife E6 prone to smudges.

The phone is not very bulky and fits easily into your pocket. Overall, the Gionee Elife E6 is a looker, and except for the glossy finish that makes it a bit slippery and prone to smudges, we don't have any qualms with it in this department.

Display
The Gionee Elife E6 features a 5-inch full-HD (1080x1920 pixels resolution) IPS screen based on One Glass Solution (OGS) technology with a Gorilla Glass 3 layer for protection. The screen is bright and vibrant, with text and images looking extremely crisp and sharp. However, colours appeared to be oversaturated, almost at AMOLED levels.

Sunlight legibility was decent, and viewing angles were excellent thanks to the IPS panel. Overall, the Gionee Elife E6 has one of the best displays in its class only marred by its inaccurate colour rendering.

Software / User Interface
The Gionee Elife E6 runs a highly-tweaked version of Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean. The handset maker has put a custom 'Amigo' skin on top of the UI, and offers themes that let the user customise the phone's home screen and app icons.

In fact, if you remove the Google services and the Play store, and it would look like a different operating system, similar to Xiaomi's MiUi interface which is based on Android. The phone's OS doesn't offer the traditional Android home screen - app launcher structure, but instead, is a little similar to the iPhone's layout - the Elife E6's home screen is also the app launcher

For users who're switching to the Elife E6 from another Android phone, the arrangement would be a little unsettling but otherwise it might not be much of a problem.

Users can add up to nine home screens, which can be populated with app icons. The Gionee Elife E6 doesn't support widgets, though a weather and time widget stays on top of each of the phone's home-screen. It's also displayed on the lock screen, in addition to another lock-screen widget that offers shortcuts to the camera, torch and sound recorder apps.

The notification tray on the Elife E6 features a settings shortcut and a clear all notifications button, along with expandable notifications (expanded with the two finger pull gesture). It features the same setting toggles shortcuts (plus a few extra) that are found in stock Android for quick access to airplane mode, battery status, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, data connection, data usage, audio profiles, brightness, screen backlight timeout, auto rotation, power saving mode and alarm clock.

The option to wirelessly mirror the Elife E6's display with an HDMI-enabled device through a wireless display adapter is also present. This is essentially an Android 4.2 feature.

There's a dock at the bottom if the Gionee Elife E6's interface, where four preferred app shortcuts can be placed. This dock is static across all the home screens. Each home screen can have 12 app icons in addition to the dock.

The lock screen mechanism is also a little different on the Gionee Elife E6. You can either just press the power button to lock the screen or swipe towards the bottom of the screen from the weather+time widget. Swiping up unlocks the screen.

The Gionee Elife E6's UI is full of transition animations and effects and you can even customise some of them. When you tap an app icon, the app pops up from the bottom of the screen. When you exit the app the app window retracts to the bottom again. These effects look gimmicky and jarring, and increase the launch time of apps.

The Gionee Elife E6's UI borrows its app switcher from Apple's iOS 7 card-based multitasking menu, which was first seen in webOS and later in BlackBerry PlayBook OS. The implementation is almost the same with a full window preview of the running apps being displayed as soon as the Home button is pressed. You can dismiss apps by throwing their preview windows out of the screen and switch by swiping horizontally.

We feel that pressing the home button on the Gionee Elife E6 should take users to the first home screen and not open the app switcher. At times, pressing the home button when you're in a system app (messaging, gallery) also opens the app switcher instead of taking you to the home screen/ launcher.

The three capacitive buttons, back, home and menu, help in navigating through the Gionee Elife E6, with the home button also doubling up as an app switcher/ task manager on long press.

The settings menu of the Gionee Elife E6 offers popular settings under the 'common settings' tab and hides the complete set of settings under the 'all' tab. This makes things simple for new smartphone users but increases a step for people familiar with the default Android settings menu.

The phone also includes 'smart gestures' and 'air gestures'. The smart gestures include smart dial (dial a number displayed in a message, contact details page when you bring the phone close to your ear), smart answer (answer the phone automatically when you bring the phone close to your ear), and pause alarm (when you flip the phone). These worked as promise.

The Elife E6 also offers air gestures, as seen in phones like the Samsung Galaxy S4 and even in some economy phones such as the Lava Iris 504. The feature enables users to answer calls or browse pictures by just waving your hand. This didn't work for us at all. The only gesture that worked was the 'smart pause' control that pauses the video when you look away.

Gionee has also bundled some apps with the Elife E6, including UC Browser - the phone's default web browser, File Explorer, Facebook, Twitter, NQ Mobile Security, WhatsApp, Yahoo Cricket, GameZone - a games store to download new games, Fishing Joy game, WeChat, Notes, App Manager, a torch app (to use the LED flash as a flash light), a compass app, Kingsoft Office, a weather app, as well as the GioneeXender app - for transferring content, Du Battery Saver app, and Saavn - the Indian music streaming service.

Some of the native apps on the Elife E6 offer extended functionality. For instance, the Music app allows you to put a sleep timer, if you like falling asleep while listening to music. The phone dialler allows you to record voice calls. Most Android phones don't offer this feature though this functionality is offered by some third-party apps that have certain limitations and don't offer good quality recordings. The phone also allows you to set a sleep timer to turn the phone off/ on or in airplane mode.

Overall, the Elife E6's UI could do with some more finishing touches. We hope Gionee pushes an update to fix minor niggles.

Camera
The Gionee Elife E6 sports a 13-megapixel auto-focus camera with a Sony Exmor R sensor and five element lens. It also includes a second generation BSI sensor for low-light imaging.

The phone comes with a customised Camera app and allows you to capture photos in HDR and Panorama modes as well. It comes with the usual controls including settings for Exposure, Colour effect, White balance and ISO, among others.

The Elife E6's camera also supports continuous shots, taking up to 99 shots in that mode, apart from supporting smile detection and face detection. It also comes with a 'Phone Booth' setting that lets you superimpose fancy picture frames with photos. In addition to this it also features colour effects or filters.

The camera of the Gionee Elife E6 takes good quality images in daylight and in sufficient artificial light. However, we observed that pictures taken in low-light conditions did not come out well.

Pictures taken indoors with less light were also grainy. Colour reproduction was pretty accurate and images sported good contrast, though it did miss out on detail at times.

The Elife E6 can record HD videos and we found that the quality of videos captured through the back camera was good. It also offers EIS or Electronic Image Stabilisation to minimise blurring caused by shaking of hands while shooting a video.

The 5-megapixel front camera also takes decent shots and is great for video calls. Overall, we feel that the Elife E6 can fill in for a point and shoot camera barring low-light conditions.

Performance
The Gionee Elife E6 is powered by a 1.5GHz Mediatek MT6589T quad-core processor. It has 2GB RAM, and a PowerVR SGX 544MP GPU. The phone offers 32GB of internal storage, which is non-expandable, and around 23GB of storage is available to the user. We wish the phone would have come with a microSD card slot keeping in consideration that some users like to store movies and music on their phones.

The overall experience of navigation through the Elife E6's interface was impressive, thanks to the phone's quad-core processor and sufficient memory, though the additional visual effects do make slow things down slightly.

We did not experience any lag while launching apps, playing most games, scrolling web pages or switching between apps. Graphics intensive games however, like Asphalt 7: Heat, did slow down the Gionee Elife E6 substantially, with visibly dropped frame rates.

We were able to play full-HD clips smoothly and the Elife E6 supported formats like .AVI and .MOV, natively. The speaker on the phone delivers decent quality sound at above good volume levels, and thanks to the location of the speaker grill, the sound doesn't get muffled when the phone lies on its back.

The headphones that come with the Gionee Elife E6 offer good quality sound output, and look good in white and silver colour. The phone also offers FM radio and recording. Call quality was good. The Elife E6 was also able to get a GPS lock easily while using the Maps app.

The Gionee Elife E6 comes with an 2,000mAh battery, and based on our experience, it will last you more than a full day with medium to heavy usage, including 1 to 1.5 hours of phone calls, two e-mail accounts with push notifications, screen at maximum brightness, playing some music and video clips, Twitter notifications and WhatsApp chats.

It's also worth pointing out that we had majorly used mobile data, occasionally connecting to Wi-Fi and had turned off auto-brightness - instead, keeping it at full brightness. The phone was hooked to a 3G network for most of the time. Altering these settings might help in running the Elife E6 for a longer duration, depending on your usage pattern.

Gionee also offers a 'power saving' mode that limits processor utilization, and turns off data sync and various connectivity options when the phone's screen is locked for five minutes. You might be able to get some extra hours with this setting at the expense of the phone's functionality.

Verdict
Interestingly, Gionee takes on Indian brands like Micromax and Karbonn that also import Chinese devices and rebrand them. Of course, it still needs to make its presence felt in the market but in our use, we found the the Elife E6 to be much better than what Indian smartphone brands offer in terms of build and design, display and other features.

It even challenges the A-list brands like Sony, Samsung and HTC, that don't really offer a viable option in the Rs. 20,000 to Rs. 25,000 price segment, unless you are ready to settle with older generation devices. Sony's Xperia C, HTC's Desire 500, Samsung's Galaxy Grand Quattro are the only devices from major manufacturers that offer quad-core smartphones in the same price segment, though none are clocked at 1.5GHz, feature 2GB of RAM, or a 5-inch FHD display.

The only issue we're concerned about is after sales service from Gionee. Although the company appears to have set up service centres at all major locations in India, one can't deny that it's a new player in a market. If you don't take these factors into consideration, the Gionee Elife E6 is definitely a good buy at a price of Rs. 22,999.

You can also look at the Lenovo K900 (also full-HD), Nexus 4 and Huawei Ascend Mate that also fall in the same price segment. If you're open to Windows Phone, then the Nokia Lumia 720 is also a good option, though it has a smaller screen.

Price: Rs. 22,999

Microsoft Windows 8.1 review

I doubt I was alone in rolling my eyes when I first used Windows 8 a year ago. I found its touch controls and gestures awkward, and I was troubled by how little its primary, tile-based interface could do on its own.For many basic tasks, I had to return to the system's traditional desktop mode, the one that resembles older versions of Windows. It felt as though I was working on two different computers at once.
Since then, I've warmed up to many of those touch controls and gestures, such that I've even tried to use them absentmindedly out of habit on my touch-less MacBook laptop. And the free Windows 8.1 update released Thursday addresses many of my remaining gripes.
Windows is still far from perfect. It continues to come across as a work in progress. But Windows 8.1 shows Microsoft is listening. People who already have Windows 8 will find digital life more pleasant with the update.
What was so bad about Windows 8's tile mode previously?
I could open only 10 Web pages at a time in Internet Explorer and pages would automatically close once I had hit the limit, without any prompts or choice of which one. With Windows 8.1, there's no limit.
The browser in Windows 8 didn't let me view more than one Web page at once. Sure, I could open 10 tabs, but I could see only one at a time. I couldn't leave a news site or Facebook open on one side of Window's new split screen for multitasking while I checked Gmail on another. With Windows 8.1, I can open a "new window" rather than a "new tab" using a right click to have a second page visible.
That limitation also applied to Window 8's Mail app. With Windows 8.1, I can now have two messages open at once. And if I click on an attachment, it opens to the side rather than replace what I'm reading. The Mail app's layout adjusts to fit into the remaining space.
I could access some computer settings from the tile-based interface, but Windows 8 sent me to the desktop for many others, including changing the display screen's resolution and controlling how quickly energy-saving measures kicked in. Now I can adjust that and more from the tile-based interface in Windows 8.1, though I still can't check the specific percentage of battery life I have left without going to the desktop.
Beyond fixes, Windows 8.1 offers these improvements
Universal search
With one search command, I can access files stored on my computer along with Web content on the Internet. Type in "Shakira," for instance, and I'm invited to hear her songs through Xbox Music or watch her videos on YouTube. I also get links to her biography, official website and Wikipedia entry. Type in "Toronto" and a map, suggested attractions and the current weather there will pop up. In both cases, I am also shown documents on my computer with those words in the text.
New features
I can diagnose my medical condition by tapping on a body part on the screen and checking off symptoms. I can also keep track of my workouts, recipes and shopping lists. Another feature lets me save content from webpages and apps to read later offline.
Customization
I can rearrange tiles and rename groups of apps more easily. With one swipe up from the home screen, I can see all my apps and arrange them by name, category, installation date or frequency of use.
Old habits
I can set the computer to always boot up in the desktop mode, allowing me to minimize my interaction with the tile-based interface. That said, this seems like cheating, an admission that the tile mode isn't working, when Microsoft is banking its future on it.
That gets me to the things Windows 8.1 doesn't fix
It still feels like two separate computers at times. Each mode has its own Internet Explorer browser. Pages I have open in one won't automatically appear in the other. Many programs, including Microsoft's Office, work only in desktop. I can customize the background images so both modes match, but that's cosmetic.
Although Windows 8.1 lets me adjust how much screen space each visible app takes, that slider only moves left to right. So with three or four apps open, all of the apps are vertical. That's awkward for video and word processing. And while Windows 8.1 doubles to four the number of apps I can have side by side, it was unlimited before Windows 8.
There's no easy way to open apps without going to the full-page start screen. Before Windows 8, there was a Start button on the lower left corner to do that. The Start button has been restored in Windows 8.1, but its functionality has not. So if I have video playing, it stops as I switch from app to app or do one of those universal searches.
The touch controls can still be confounding. Windows 8.1 comes with new gesture controls, such as the ability to accept word suggestions as you type by swiping and tapping the spacebar. Too often, I simply add unneeded spaces instead.
Microsoft's tile and touch approach will take time to get used to, even with Windows 8.1. That approach works fine on phones and tablets, but not necessarily on desktops and laptops.
I know change is inevitable. I eventually embraced Apple's Mac OS X, introduced in 2001, after more than a decade of growing up on what became known as Classic. But it took me until 2006 to fully switch. It's been only a year with the new Windows. I'm not ready to cede my Windows 7 and Mac computers quite yet.
If you're buying a new Windows computer or already have Windows 8, your choices are limited. In that case, you might as well accept Windows 8.1, which is far better than Windows 8.
