What changes will Windows 7 bring to users and the market?

  

2009 has come to an end, the sky in the computer market has been illuminated by the arrival of Win-dows 7 - Microsoft's waist plate has finally straightened up: "This is the best product we have ever launched! "Whether online or offline, everyone compares Windows 7 to Windows XP. As for Windows Vista, it seems that no one has mentioned it anymore." Compared with the traditional XP system, Windows7 has made great progress both in interface and in function. Compared with Vista, Windows7 takes up less resources, runs faster, and eliminates the trouble of driving. It can be said that Win7 is the true successor of XP. Windows 7 has been on the market for more than two weeks. The author recently visited a number of computer stores, and the computer screen is already a "7" sound. "Easy to use", "It's really good", "It's very convenient to operate"... It's hard to get a consistent praise. This is really rare for a bleak computer market in 2009. So let's analyze what kind of changes Win-dows 7 can bring to the user.

Simple will become a habit

Before the launch of Windows 7, Microsoft has done thousands of investigations, racking their brains to consider what kind of computer operating system people want. I did not expect the final conclusion to be "simple". These two words have also become the biggest secret to the success of Windows 7.

After I tried Windows 7, I tried to put it down for simple operation. For example, you can put multiple windows from the same program into a single icon, so that the limited taskbar space can be more effective, and you can quickly open the desired window by clicking on the "Taskbar Thumbnail"; On a messy desktop with many windows open, use the mouse to drag out a window and gently sway it. The other windows are immediately minimized. Only the window you want is left on the desktop, and then the window disappears. It’s amazing to be in the original position; it’s worth mentioning that the “show desktop” button that many people use is moved this time and becomes the lower right corner of the taskbar. The mouse can easily click on it. Things like these simple operations abound on Windows 7.

In summary, people are likely to change the various habits of using computers for years because of Windows 7.

Drive PC sales bullish

Recently, a report by market research firm NetApplica-tions shows that the market share of the operating system has reached 4% since its release. Sales data from major software retailers and physical software stores on the Internet also showed that the system sold 30% more than Microsoft's previous generation operating system Vista. In fact, many consumers who expect to buy a computer are waiting for the release of Windows 7, which has also led to sales in the PC market.

The author saw in the store that there are already hundreds of desktop computers and notebooks pre-installed with Win-dows 7 system. Faced with PC manufacturers have introduced pre-installed Windows 7 computers with attractive prices, more and more users have begun to abandon XP and Vista, and have joined the new fashion crowd in the city - "Win7 family". A consumer said that he has learned a lot about the benefits of Windows 7 from a professional website. Just to update the notebook this time, he naturally chose a Lenovo notebook pre-installed with Win-dows 7. Many users think that although the Windows 7 operating system does not require hardware resources, if you buy a genuine Windows 7 system directly, it should be in the hundreds of dollars. In the case of low notebook prices, it is better to pre-install directly. The Windows 7 computer comes at an affordable price.

Leading the multi-touch trend

With the official debut of Windows 7, in addition to attracting a system upgrade, it also caused a multi-touch trend in the PC industry. PC giants such as Hewlett-Packard, Sony, and Dell are scrambling to introduce multi-touch integrated devices. With the expansion of the market size of the all-in-one machine and the increasingly fierce competition, the price of the touch-sensitive all-in-one will gradually decline and become civilian.

In fact, before the advent of Windows 7, some PC manufacturers have introduced an all-in-one computer with multi-touch function. However, most of them are installed multimedia software for processing and browsing photos, music, movies, and so on. Moreover, the price of an all-in-one with such touch control is nearly 10,000 yuan. With the final appearance of the Windows 7 system, this situation has been broken, making it easier to implement multi-touch on a PC. Sony, Hewlett-Packard, Lenovo and other newly launched touch-one machines with Windows 7 can flip through online newspapers, flip through albums, and drag files and folders with just a finger. The "Start" menu and taskbar in the system use icons that are enlarged and easy to touch. The commonly used Windows 7 programs also support touch operations, and even use the fingers to draw in "Drawing". It is believed that the touch computer will become a popular trend in the market in 2010.
