Windows 8 is not available on DVD
Gone are the days of queuing up at stores to buy Windows discs. Because Windows 8 is not coming on DVD, users will only get a Windows 8 upgrade disc to upgrade from a previous Windows version to Windows 8.
Apple stopped selling full operating systems on DVD before Microsoft. Apple's OS X Lion operating system is no longer available in DVD box form since last year. Following Apple's path, Microsoft is also going to do the same. However, since the operating system is pre-installed while buying the computer and the operating system CD is provided, the users will not face any problem in this new decision, according to technology experts. Customers who want to buy a new version of Windows without upgrading from an older version will have to buy the OEM version, PC World said. The OEM version is usually reserved for PC manufacturers so the price is much lower. From this point of view, this is good news for customers. Just a few years ago, there were rows of boxes of software and games discs in the market. These software were sold first on floppy disk, then on CD and finally on DVD.

Bing ahead of Google?
Now if anyone wants to search the database, he tries to find the answer by sitting on the internet. No more rummaging around looking for books. In this way it is almost impossible to find the desired information. Search engines have to take help for this. And Google has been ruling the monopoly in this kind of searching for a long time. However, it is known that the dominant rival of this site is Microsoft's Bing. Last week at the Global Partner Conference in Toronto, Canada, Microsoft claimed that Bing offers more effective services than Google. According to a report by tech news site Verge, Microsoft said at the meeting that Bing is showing more relevant results than ever before. Bing is currently ahead of Google in terms of relevance. The relevance of search results on Google is 59.9 percent and Bing's is 61.4 percent. However, Microsoft has not presented any data behind this claim.
Therefore, the analysts did not comment practically on the matter. But some say that when searching for the necessary information, the user will understand which is more useful, Google or Bing. Recently, Bing site is paying more attention to get different information in its search.
Microsoft and NBC end 16-year relationship
Microsoft has removed itself from the news-based MSNBC.com website, which was developed with Microsoft 16 years before NBC. As a result, MSNBC was renamed NBCNews.com. In addition, Microsoft can now build its own news-based website. As a result, NBC News took full ownership of MSNBC.com.
The site will soon be rebranded as NBCNews.com. NBC, however, will continue to provide news to MSN.com, known as Microsoft's news portal, and Microsoft will send traffic to NBC as per the agreement, NBC said. MSNBC.com mirrored the NBCNews.com homepage for the next few days, but later changed its address to MSNBC TV. No information is known about how much money this contract was made, but the New York Times reported that Microsoft is getting 300 million US dollars, according to a person involved in the contract. The acquisition ended a 16-year friendship. Microsoft-NBC Universal had been operating MSNBC.com in a 50-50 partnership. The site was considered one of the best sites in the United States and was reported to have visited 55.7 million visitors earlier this year.
According to ABC News, the separation is due to the differences between the political ideologies of NBC and Microsoft. MSNBC decided to promote liberal ideology to counter the conservative ideology of rival Fox News Channel. As a result, bias is created in the news organization. Microsoft decided to back out of the deal, which went against their ideals of being a neutral media outlet. MSN.com manager Bob Wise said, "Because of our contract with MSNBC, we were unable to deliver news from multiple sources to our users, which is what our users always wanted."
Microsoft will start providing news services on its own in the coming days due to the lack of ties after the deal break, Viz said. However, although he refused to give details in this regard, he said that the team of 100 people who were at the time of creating MSNBC.com will have the same manpower.
