Microsoft is hard to change people's stereotypes about Windows 8

Computer shop news: After several months of research and development and debugging, the latest Windows 8.1 system finally came to us. So, is it a Microsoft operating system worth trying? The answer is simple: if you have never used Windows 8, you can choose to try 8.1, in addition to a series of feature updates and improvements in the system itself, the most important thing is that you can choose a variety of different forms of hardware products.

For example, you can choose Acer's 8-inch mini-tablet, or a bunch of 10-inch flat/notebook hybrids, or Dell's 18-inch all-in-one (XPS) 18). All in all, there are too many big screen all-in-ones, tablets, ultrabooks or gaming notebooks in the market to support Win8.1 system, even you can get a dual-screen ultrabook (ASUS Tai Chi) or a tablet function.

· You can only switch from left to right to switch applications, from right to left.

· To close a Metro app, you need to drag the app from top to bottom, without the familiar little red cross on the top right of the screen.

Partly, and with more features, but the intrinsic experience is still the same as Windows 8. For the user, the more powerful the operating system, the better, but the Windows 8 and 8.1 systems need to be added in function, but the difficulty of getting started is increased, which is the user can not accept them. The real reason.
