has a nice keyboard function: you can call the program from the start screen when you start typing. It's quite simple. For example, if you type "Ma" on the start screen, in a series of programs, the program with the "Ma" letter will be displayed in the middle of the screen.

When you first connected your mouse to Windows 8, there was no strange action. As soon as you move the mouse, the scroll bar will appear at the bottom of the start screen. You can scroll the scrollbar, navigate through the program group, or scroll the mouse and drag the button. Windows 8 interprets vertical motion as horizontal scrolling.




struck from an upper program, the program will be able to see the specific control options. The figure shows IE 10, the address bar is at the bottom, and the label thumbnail is at the top.

Move the mouse to the bottom left to display the start screen, or move the mouse to the upper left side to display the most recently accessed program. If you move the mouse to the left, it will display some of the programs you have recently accessed.

The program also supports the mouse. For example, in IE, a back navigation arrow is displayed on the left and a forward navigation arrow is displayed on the right. Place the mouse in the lower corner of the right side, the navigation Charms will be displayed, and then the mouse will be moved up the side edge to be used.

Features

If you are looking to integrate social experiences, Windows 8 will meet your needs. Unlike iOS, if a program has specific information, iOS requires you to enter the program, but Windows 8 is wider and more scalable. The square icon of the start screen is the local integration of the own program.

The mail program will preview the latest mail, and the calendar program will display the latest appointment schedule. You can set the information yourself and display it on the lock screen. Contact

Although some integrations will look weird, most of them are still not wrong. The contact address is integrated with the Bing Map and can be quickly found. The account added by a program is also suitable for related programs.

some elements may be everyone's reach, such as Trusted Boot, which is a double-checking system, as well as SmartScreen, can prevent Phishing, malware. The system is also equipped with XBOX Game and XBOX Companion programs, which can import XBox content into Windows 8. With the Refresh option, users can reinstall Windows 8 without having to delete the data.

Performance

There is still a point about Windows 8 that I don't have a deep talk about, it is that it gives people a "fast" feeling. The response is fast after the touch, the mouse moves agile, and the speed and response of Windows 8 are not as good as other versions of Windows.



Considering that I used Windows Tablet to try Windows 7, it is even more impressive. The shutdown time was not very good and it took a minute. Booting is quite fast, try three cold starts, just enter the login page in 10-13 seconds. It took less than 3 seconds to enter the start screen from the login screen each time.

Microsoft has said that, considering the battery life time Windows 8 design. We didn't have the exact test of Microsoft's remarks. After 6 days of trial, I only need to charge this old tablet once a day.

summary

If you like Vista, like Windows 8 defeated, it will make people very surprised. The consumer experience is good, the function is new and old, and the appearance is fresh and different. Hardware manufacturers have already embraced it, and Microsoft also said that developers have increased their investment, and it has won attention because there is no similar system on the market.

Companies may pay for it, as well as early supporters and, of course, old Windows fans. But will ordinary consumers accept it? In the tablet market, Microsoft has been taken away by too many markets in Apple. In my CNET colleagues, from Metro jumped into the desktop screen, some people are still surprised. There may be many dissatisfaction, and very few people can't understand the "screen edge" concept. Microsoft does not provide even a 10-second guide. The problem is not big, but if it is not resolved, it is enough for users to give up Windows 8.

I think in the tablet war, there are still accommodate a third player space, Google has opened the door, ready to go to war to fight for second position. However, I still think that if Windows 8 is considered a large smartphone system, it is not the same as when people think of the tablet. really not.

Windows 8 tries to unify desktops and tablets. In the operating system, Microsoft has suffered setbacks, and the tablet field has to compete. It does not have much choice. The destiny of Windows 8 depends on partners, relying on hardware, payment capabilities, and matching users to real-world acceptance. Frankly, it is how close to Apple is. In the end, Microsoft only controlled one aspect.

Windows 8 the road long and narrow, it may become for the sensation, but not allow room for mistakes.
