are getting closer and closer to the time we get the public download, so that users will look forward to it from the beginning of the year, until the middle of September, Microsoft is "squatting" Everyone started the Windows 8 Developer Preview. In fact, it can't be blamed for Microsoft's stupidity. After all, the early Windows 8 version has more BUGs, and the second is that many functions are not stereotyped and need to be changed to change or even veto.
In the previous article, the soft media notified some language version details, but many of my friends still asked other questions in the comments. Here, we will re-integrate them:
1, about the version architecture
Released x64 and x86 (ie 64-bit and 32-bit versions) versions of Windows 8 client (the version that everyone usually uses) and 64-bit version of Windows 8 Server server; there is no rumored 128-bit Win8 version a few years ago, that It is a rumor.
2, about the system language version
will contain at least 5 languages, Chinese (Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese), Japanese, German, Korean, English, see "Windows 8 first wave download contains simplified Chinese" Wait for 5 languages. However, it should be reminded that many functions "Chinese" are not thorough, there will be garbled situations, etc., and don't mind too much.
3. About the new features
The Windows 8 Developer Preview version (Windows Developer PrevIEw) has limited functions, not all of them are released, but most of the new features can be seen, indeed Windows 7 is different before the meeting. If you want to use all the features released version, to the end of September Windows 8 Beta public beta, details: "bad news: Windows 8 public beta download to postpone".
4, About the size and installation of the CD image
Windows 8 Developer Preview version of the installation and Windows7 is no different, there is no special need to pay attention to, but the system requires automatic retention of the hard disk partition during installation The size will be different, this will be introduced to the special introduction article in the later Win8 developer preview version. The x86 version is around 2.45 G, and the x64 version is around 3.25 G. So if you use U disk to install, get ready for a 4G or more, use Rubik's U disk to start making Win8 boot and install U disk, of course, also support virtual machine installation, see: "Download Windows 8, five Kind of gameplay, are we going to prepare? 》.
5. About the interface
In addition to the interactive interface similar to Windows 7, there is also a new Metro UI, which not only supports touch, but also supports mouse drag and drop operations, very easy to use. The built-in IE10 browser also has an immersive touch interface, and of course, the Explorer UI of the Explorer's Ribbon interface, Task Manager and PDF Reader.
