The Start menu is back with a better look on Windows 10

The return of the Start menu that Microsoft teased during its Build 2014 conference earlier in 2014 was shown off in full force at the September 30, 2014 event. Replete with a merging of the traditional Windows 7-style interface and Windows 8 Live Tiles, the new Start menu is designed to please both camps: touch and mouse users.

"They don't have to learn any new way to drive," Belfiore said, referring to Windows 7 business users. That said, customization will also be featured throughout, first with the ability to re-sizing the Start menu itself along with the Live Tiles within.

The Start menu features empowered search capabilities as well, able to crawl your entire machine, not to mention web results. (Through Bing and not Google. we'd imagine.)

HOW TO MAKE A SIMPLE TEXT TO SPEECH(TTS) WINDOWS PROGRAM USING C# PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE.

This post is a beginner's guide on how to get started with speech programming in visual studio using c# (c_sharp) programming language. For those who don't know what a programming language is, in a nut shell, a programming language is simply a command based computer language used for instructing a computer to do a particular job. When I say job, I mean very complex job. Write the above definition in an exam and stand a chance of losing marks. The definition isn't all there is about what programming language is, so I suggest you make a good search to learn what programming language really is. Though, this article is for beginners but I will say "BEGINNERS ARE CLASSIFIED", am a beginner. If you are a beginner who hasn't tasted code in his or her life before, I suggest you go start something. A good learning source is "tutorial point", they taught me a lot. Now for you who have tasted code, you will need the following: Computer System running wind...

HOW TO APPLY FALLING TEXT EFFECT IN A CONSOLE PROGRAM WITH THREADING IN C#
