What are the similarities between the Win10 system and the Mac OS system?

Microsoft's next-generation operating system, Windows10, is officially launched today, and all genuine Win7/Win8.1 users can upgrade for free. As the old rival of Microsoft on the PC platform, Apple OS X 10.11 EI Capitan system is also in the test, and will be officially released this fall. According to user feedback of Win10 and OS X 10.11, the two desktop systems have many similarities in terms of features.

1. Improved browser tag function

The improvement of Apple Safari is an important part of OS X 10.11 system. In this version, Apple added the "Fixed Labels" feature to Safari. Each time Safari is turned off/on, the fixed tabs will not change position and will automatically update, making it easy for users to quickly access web content.

Microsoft has launched a new Edge browser in the Win10 system, and its "new label" has a search/address bar, a list of important websites, the latest news recommendations, local weather, and more. Open the new tab page to get more information quickly.

2, split screen function

OS X 10.11 has added split screen multitasking function, its newly introduced Split View (split screen view) and Windows 10's Snap Corner function is very similar. In OS X 10.11, if you drag a window to the edge of the screen, it automatically expands and takes up half of the screen and runs side-by-side with the previously opened application.

Windows 10's Snap Corner feature automatically shrinks to 1/4 of the screen when the user pushes the window to the four corners of the screen. And docked in the corresponding corner, so that users can arrange windows more reasonably and efficiently.

3, touchpad gesture control

Apple Mac's multi-gesture touchpad has always been impressive, such as two-finger zoom and zoom display photos and web pages, three-finger swipe Switch between desktop and full-screen apps, swipe on the three-pointer to display all the programs running on the Mac, and close the four fingers to see all the apps on the Mac.

Microsoft has also added some new touchpad gesture control features to the Win10 system, hoping to improve operational efficiency. Win10's new gestures include: three-pointing down sliding to minimize all open windows, three-pointing on sliding to restore all open windows, three-finger sliding to switch between full-screen applications, and so on.

4, Information Application

Microsoft has deeply optimized the communication application Skype in Win10, covering PC version and mobile version. Its function is the same as Apple's FaceTime and iMessage. When you send a text message to someone, it will automatically convert to Skype information when the other party has a Skype account, which is almost the same as iMessage, and it is the same as the latest OS X system. All session content is synced on PCs, tablets, and phones.

5, global search optimization

Apple's global search for OS X 10.11 brings a more "natural" element that allows users to search in a living language, such as &ldquo ; I wrote the document last night, and this natural language search also supports stocks, match scores and weather.

Win10's built-in global search function is also very convenient, it can provide faster and better search results without indexing. And you can find applications, files, and web keywords at the same time. At the same time, Win10's built-in intelligent voice assistant Xiaona can also help users track weather, stock prices, keyword news, match scores, ticket hotel information and important schedule reminders.
