Oracle Clarifies About Java Support For Existing Windows XP Compatible Versions

In a recent blog post, the Vice President for Oracle’s product management made a sincere attempt to explain their plan to clarify their Windows tech support for Java on Windows XP OS. Vice President, Mr. Henrik Stahl initially dismissed all unnecessary speculations like ‘Oracle will end Java updates and support for Windows XP’. Adding to that, he also said that their company expects the current Java versions for XP to continue to receive the needed Windows tech support even after the XP End of Support. Microsoft officially ended their tech support for XP OS this year. The facts mentioned below will provide you a better picture regarding the subject.

Extended Java support for Windows XP compatible versions

Though Oracle made their official decision very clear through the media, they were not ready to make commitments regarding other technical support for Windows XP. In this context, it is very clear that Oracle will not be held responsible for any other technical problems or complaints reported by the users since the Windows tech support is no longer available to the OS.

At the same time, you can see that new Java 8 is not technically designed for being installed on Windows XP computers. The installer developed and released for Java 8 will not run on Windows XP computers without the help of some manual intervention. As mentioned on the Wikipedia page, this simply means ‘directly unzipping from the installation executable’. Mr. Henrik Stahl also said that it was possible that their company might choose not to fix this technical issue for an unsupported OS. Another major problem pertaining to this issue is that the Java 8 is also not available to the end users. This is why Oracle insists system users to upgrade to latest operating systems. As a result, Java users will no longer have to worry about any technical issues or the lack of technical support while using their Java version.

The future rounds of Java updates are due to be out in the month of July 2015 and will subsequently address almost 20 remotely exploitable flaws. In short, what we will get to see is that the latest Java 7 and 8 patches will work effectively on computers with the Windows XP operating system regardless of the end of technical support. Therefore, it is not much of a catastrophic situation, but it is highly advisable to upgrade to the latest Windows OS versions to enjoy a trouble free computing experience.

Read Your Mac Drives On Windows Using Paragon Software

There is a lot of difference between the Mac and Windows operating systems. This causes numerous problems to some users, who own two computers running on these platforms.

Most of us avoid such problems by using compatible OS and software applications often made by the same tech firm. But, if you are a working professional, you might have to deal with incompatible software running on your home and work PC.

Paragon software takes care of the Mac drive incompatibility in Windows

Take for example, the hard drive in your system. For the Windows OS to run smoothly, this should be formatted as NTFS file system. However, in case of Mac OS, the file system format is different, as it uses the HFS protocol. So, the hard disks is Mac and Windows operating systems will have to be formatted differently, and hence one OS will not recognize or read the other.

This can become an inconvenience to someone, who has to access some important files stored in the hard drive on (say) the office computer on home PC. However, as always, some clever software developers out there have come up with a solution for this problem. Most of these solutions are paid applications, but the recently released Paragon software application designed for this purpose offers a trial too. A freeware version for limited Windows OS versions and file systems is also available.

So, you do not have to pay anything for trying it out. Just download this software on your Windows PC and you will be able to read the Mac hard drive on your Windows PC. If everything runs smoothly, as the software developer claims, then you can pay for an upgrade to the full version before the trial period expires.

According to Paragon developers, when your install this application in your Windows 8 OS, you get all the necessary Windows 8 drivers for all the different file system formats, and not just the HFS system used in Mac. In other words, you no longer have to worry about such file format incompatibility issues anymore.

The freeware edition of this software is available only for the latest Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 OS platforms, which has the Windows 8 drivers for reading the HFS+ file system format. For other HFS variants and different file system formats, you will have to buy the paid version though.

Choosing Between A Laptop And A Tablet

The evolution of computers has gone from basic calculators to computers and from handy laptops to tablets. With the advancements made, the outer size of the device has diminished, but the capacity has significantly increased. So if you are looking forward to buy a new computing device, this comparison between tablet vs laptop will help you decide.

Latest tablets are able to do multiple tasks as a laptop or desktop computers can do. However, this does not make a laptops outdated. Instead, there are certain restrictions with tablet PC when compared to a laptop.

When looking at the input methods, we can see that the physical keyboard is missing in tablet devices. When it comes to creating presentations and typing documents it is easier in a laptop. However, you can connect an external keyboard to a tablet, if you have the provision to do so.

When it comes to storage, tablets are not as efficient as the laptop. Laptops can have hard disk space with as much as ten times the memory size of a tablet. Therefore, you can only opt to store data locally in a tablet, and the rest you will have to store either online or in a laptop or PC.

Some of the limitations in a tablet are when you use websites like booking a ticket or banking websites. The interface of such websites is easier to navigate when on a laptop than with a tablet. You would stumble upon some of the drop down menus in these websites while browsing them on a tablet, due to their non-adaptive interface.

As most banking websites make use of a lot of JavaScript, it will be much better to browse the website on a laptop. When flash is being used on the website, then there would not be many issues in a tablet, but you would not find it as easy as on a laptop.

To come over these limitations in a tablet, various apps developed by banking websites and shopping websites are designed in such a way that allows a user to work with ease, but if there are issues with the app, using it on a laptop will be the only way out.

Each device has its own pros and cons. When talking about portability, tablets would be easier to carry around than the laptops, but when comparing printing options in tablet vs laptop, we can conclude that it is easier in a laptop.

There are many other dimensions that set tablets and laptops apart. So it is better to settle upon a device that suits better as per your needs.
