Win RT 8.1 start menu hands-on video experience Win10 classical beauty

  

Microsoft brought the start menu in Windows RT 8.1 Update 3, this menu is quite similar to the form in the early Win10 preview version, after reading it can not help but let Windows 10 fans recalled the experience of growing up with Win10. The foreign media made a get-up video, friends who haven't used Surface RT/Surface 2, or users who haven't upgraded to the latest version of Windows RT 8.1 can enjoy the “Classical Beauty” with Win10 in the video.

The reason why this menu is similar to Win10's early days is because they are all made with DirectUI, written in Win8.1 code, without the use of new APIs. The existing Win10 official version and the preview version of the start menu are written by XAML, and use a lot of new Win10-specific API, so all aspects are very novel.

The tester in the video demonstrates the use of the start menu, how to switch between the start screen, and color replacement. However, the advantage of starting the menu on Surface RT/Surface 2 is not obvious, and the form is not as suitable for touch as the start screen. The tester particularly emphasized that if the parent is for the child, or if the screen is easier to operate, the start menu is more suitable for adults.
