London, Greater London (PRWEB UK) 15 July 2013 -- The technical team at MBA IT work with many different clients, some of whom will undoubtedly migrate to Windows 8.1 or will at least have some users on this platform. The team need to know Windows 8.1 inside out in order to effectively support their customers and have been running extensive testing of the new features.
Sending a clear message to Enterprises, that Windows 8.1 is a credible platform for businesses, Microsoft highlights enhanced BYOD and Security features as the key updates. The MBA IT technical team agrees that these are a huge improvement. George Ralph, Technical Director at MBA IT says, “Windows 8.1 has addressed the security concerns that many of our customers had, with device encryption for all 8.1 devices and the introduction of Remote Business Data Removal – whereby lost or stolen devices can be wiped remotely.”
From a user perspective things have improved drastically too. “The much missed Start button has made a return, with Shutdown and Powershell shortcuts and you now have the ability to boot directly to the Desktop rather than the modern User Interface,” says Simon Warren, Systems Engineer at MBA IT.
Warren goes on to say, “I particularly like the improved Bing search function which finds results from the internet and integrates them with those from your computer. I think users will really appreciate the flexible snap application feature too, which allows you to snap up to 4 applications on a single screen, at whatever ratio you want.”
Ralph concludes, “Microsoft had a lot to prove after the negative publicity surrounding Windows, but I think 8.1 goes a long way towards restoring credibility in this as an Enterprise-ready platform. There is no doubt that BYOD is the hot topic right now, and having built in Open Mobile Device Alliance Device Management will resonate with our customers.”
