Win10 conference: Which questions are most urgently answered?

Next week, the global technology community will focus on Microsoft and look forward to the upcoming chapter of Windows 10. In the upcoming conference, Microsoft will not only discuss the "traditional" aspect of Windows, but will also reveal the mobile version of Windows 10 (or Windows Mobile 10) and many other content for the first time. Weizhi.com news on January 14th, as Microsoft's press conference is approaching, foreign media Neowin today wrote five questions for the future development of the Windows platform, hoping to get Microsoft's answer at the upcoming conference.

We might as well take a look at it:

5. What is the plan for the company?

At present, all of Microsoft's new products adopt the rhythm of “quick release”, but the process of adapting enterprise customers to the new platform is relatively slow. How does Microsoft solve this problem to ensure that cooperative users can adapt and be satisfied with the new operating system and its release model as soon as possible?

If this problem is not completely solved, many enterprise customers will continue to adhere to the Windows 7 platform, which is obviously not good for the future development of Windows 10, Microsoft certainly does not want to see Windows 7 will be the next XP.

4. What is the new application strategy of Microsoft Windows Ecology?

It’s undeniable that the current state of the Microsoft App Store is a big difference compared to iOS and Android. Although some well-known applications have finally begun to land on the Windows Phone platform, the frequency of updates and upgrades is far less positive than that of competitors.

For example, the Instagram app for the well-known photo sharing social networking site has been updated since March 2014, and has not been updated since then. This app is still in use. Beta phase. In addition, although the Twitter app Twitter is not as slow as Instagram, its update release is very slow. Of course, the same examples are too numerous to mention. Many of the new features of the application have already landed on other platforms early, but it is a drag on Windows Phone, and it is common to delay months or even years.

For the current state of application, Microsoft needs to launch some new initiatives to attract developers, and hope that Microsoft will bring good news in this regard next week.

3. Will Windows 10 be the last major version of Windows?

Microsoft has built a new version of the upgrade tool in Windows 10. Does this mean that Windows 10 will be the last "main" version of the new operating system? This new tool from Microsoft will help users continue to fragment the entire operating system and release a major version of the operating system without a three or five year upgrade.

Can we guess that Windows 10 will be the last large version? Perhaps it will be the end of an era? This seems to be good. However, we also believe that Microsoft will follow the sale of a new upgrade version of Windows, which may be the last incremental installation, replacing the frequent release of major updates.

2. Where will Windows RT go?

With the full deployment of Microsoft's new low-cost strategy, full-page Windows devices that sell for less than $100 are on the market, and Windows RT variants seem to be dying.

Although the existence of the RT operating system has had its non-negligible significance, its Modern environment has long been known to avoid virus attacks, but this platform has not been favored by consumers. Now, Surface 2 is the only Windows RT device still on sale, but the first generation of Windows RT has become a thing of the past, and the future of this version is not clear.

1. How old is the system upgrade? What kind of charging method will Windows 10 take?

It was reported last summer that Windows 10 may be free to some users and even all users. However, as of now, Microsoft has not disclosed any news about the cost of upgrading Windows 10. Next week, the consumer preview version of the Windows 10 operating system will be disclosed one after another, I believe that the relevant upgrade cost information will be announced.

In recent days, some analysts believe that Microsoft may adopt a payment method for Windows 7 users and a free upgrade for Windows 8/8.1 users. This speculation is mainly based on the market share of the two generations of systems. In order to ensure one of the main sources of revenue, Microsoft charges a small number of Windows 8/8.1 users for free upgrades and charges for Windows 7, which covers the coverage of cash flow and update upgrades. The balance point has practical meaning.

Finally, there is still a week away from Microsoft's January 10th Windows 10 press conference, and we don't have to wait too long to learn about Windows 10 and its future development plans. If you have questions and hope that Microsoft can answer, welcome to publish!
