Now compared to the previous version of Win8's own input method is counted as a "rebirth", then what is the Microsoft Pinyin input method after reborn?
From smart ABC to pinyin Input Method
Speaking of Microsoft's Chinese input method, I believe many people will think of the classic "ABC" before the XP era, and then shake their heads, it is too difficult to use. After that, the improved Microsoft Pinyin input method has better support for long sentences input in Chinese input, and the accuracy of word selection is still not high. Since other Chinese input methods at the time were also very different, users did not have much choice and could only continue to use them. After that, the domestic third-party Chinese input method represented by Sogou Pinyin has made it the first choice for Chinese users with excellent vocabulary-based word selection. After that, Microsoft has always updated and upgraded Pinyin input method. Forget completely.

Win 8 comes with ” Microsoft Pinyin is simple 2012 ", is the result of joint development between Microsoft and Harbin Institute of Technology Logo and interface are in line with Win8's clean and refreshing style. The functions are all spelled together, double spelling, association, dictionary, self-learning, self-created words, not falling behind in phrase memory, and the expressions and conformations frequently used by ordinary users. Also, the input interface can be customized (no skin replacement function).
Compared with the previous Microsoft Pinyin input method, the new version of Simplified 2012 has indeed improved a lot, but as a Win 8 native input method, due to system reasons, some large-scale applications, mainly games, etc. are not very compatible, and are prone to inactivity. Unable to switch and play problems such as error reporting. At the same time, as a native input method, there is also an advantage. Even between the split Metro interface and the traditional interface, there is a unified input method experience, and the third-party input method will display a double skin interface BUG under the Metro interface. Of course, I believe that with the improvement of system compatibility in the future, these two advantages and disadvantages will be solved. Whether you can grasp the user in the future depends on how you really experience it.
But compared to the previous version of Win 8's own input method is considered to be a "rebirth".
