User's point of view: Win10 is the new version of Win7

Computer shop news: According to foreign media reports, no one will suspect that the next version of Windows will return to some styles of Windows7. Windows 8.1 has recalled the Start menu, which has delighted millions of Windows users. Although Microsoft spent a lot of time explaining the improvements of Windows 10 at the press conference, they can't deny an extremely obvious fact: Windows 10 is Windows 7.

Windows 10 is Windows 7 plus a bunch of Windows 8 design elements: fast mode, modern style applications, Metro tile system, universal app store; although there are design changes, it is still Windows7; Windows10 completely Based on the desktop, not the start screen design of Windows 8; you will find everything you want in the familiar menu of the start, and Microsoft actually described "all running in a window" is an exciting new feature; Windows10 There are some shadows of Windows 8, but Windows 10 will be a return to the past for Windows 8 users, and those who have not updated their operating systems since 2006 may be comfortable.

At the entire conference, the words "Familiarity" are the most frequently mentioned words from Microsoft: They describe how easy it is to upgrade to Windows 10 over and over again, how Windows 10 fits you. Operating habits. Microsoft said, "It's like these Windows 7 users were driving the first generation Toyota Prius yesterday, and now Windows 10 is like a brand new Tesla. ” This seems to imply that it feels no different, driving, but the car is better. Windows 10 should be Windows 7.

Throughout the conference, Microsoft seems to be deliberately avoiding Windows 8 users. The audience is entirely those who have decided to stick to Windows 7 or Windows XP with a glance at the Windows 8 tile interface.

And those who insist on using the old system are mainly corporate customers, which is the most important customer group of Windows. So, the command prompt takes up a lot of space in the speech: now you can paste the commands, which is what other operating systems have had for many years. Microsoft's emphasis on corporate users is evident from the slogan of today's conference, "what's next for Windows and the enterprise", in Windows 10, Microsoft lets companies customize stores and separate individuals. And enterprise data storage, but the main core is to let enterprise users return to the familiar computer operation.

Obviously, Microsoft’s move is smart and pragmatic; Windows8 has boldly changed a lot of negative feedback, as Microsoft said today, the problem is not that the function is not good or the color is too rich, and Windows 8 involves too much learning costs, and most people just don't want to ask for trouble. So Microsoft keeps the design elements of Windows 8 as much as possible, but restores the core part of the operating system and returns to the way people are familiar with and understand.

However, when doing so, Microsoft brought itself into a dangerous reincarnation game. Windows 8 is at least a new and better version of the operating system that tries to interact with our devices. We don't need to think carefully, Microsoft's tile interface has already told you that this is a brand new attempt. Windows 8 once announced that "Desktop" is dead, no matter what screen size device the user uses, the app will be everywhere. But Windows 10 overturned Microsoft's ambitions.

Windows 10 feels like a platform without innovation, with no special or meaningful changes compared to eight years ago. Mobile apps are changing and becoming more powerful, but when you pick up a Windows PC you may not know which era it came from. Windows 10 is undoubtedly the best Windows 7 or Windows XP family member, but it is still not out of the barriers of Windows 7. If I am Microsoft, I will worry.

In order to accommodate those Microsoft users who are slow to update, Microsoft has basically pushed itself to a dead end. It will have no choice but to watch competitors over it and move on to the next device or interaction type.

Windows 10 has a long time to go public, and there are more changes to the platform before the end of 2015. But today we see Microsoft will worry all those who want Microsoft's success. It seems that Microsoft is reluctant to try to innovate, either without good ideas or with good ideas or confidence. Windows 8 tried to reshape the way we use PCs, but now Microsoft doesn't even dare to try again.
