Win8 may not be wonderful

Computer store news: Since the official release in October last year, the positive comments we have seen about Windows8 are almost negligible. Regardless of whether the media's conclusions are based on long-term use, the buzz of the sky is basically pointing to the use of confusion caused by the dual interface —— this is not fair.

Windows 8 may not be great, but at least it is not a good thing.

1, the original ones are still

The strange Metro screen is the source of contradiction, the new dynamic rendering and touch operation let the old users feel overwhelmed What does this have to do with the original one? If you don't want to go deeper, it's understandable to think of the two interfaces as unrelated. After all, the original desktop is still there, and the functionality is almost unchanged. Users can continue to use it as before. Two interface switching is a problem, you can go directly to the desktop icon on the Metro screen, and of course some free start button plugins are available. In short, this one is a bit awkward but not too uncomfortable.

2, system performance has improved

Win8 uses "memory consolidation" technology and improved the operation of the background service, the memory used is only about 70% of Win7, and The Metro screen also helps control memory usage, which makes Win8's boot speed, power efficiency and hardware requirements better than Win7. Win8 also provides a very simple recovery/reload mode. The average user doesn't have to worry too much about playing the computer. The Ribbon interface resource manager replaces the original hierarchical menu to make the operation more intuitive. In addition, Windows Defender is loaded first when booting. Anti-virus software and integrated virtual drives and hard drives are also advantages of Win8.

3, touch is more friendly

As mentioned above, if you really don't like the Metro screen or the computer does not have a touch screen, you can try to ignore it, but it does implement touch. Fully friendly support. The advantage of dynamic tiles is that you can display the latest internal information without launching a program. In the Microsoft store, users can download and install programs like mobile phones and tablets. In addition, Win8 has concentrated gesture commands at the four corners and upper and lower edges of the system interface, and the touch control of the PC has become practical since then. In our survey, 68.75% of users wanted to add a touch screen to their notebooks.

4, the price is not too far off the current

From February 1st, Win8 Professional Edition will increase the price to 200 dollars, the rate is as high as 400%. The range is a bit violent, $200 is definitely not cheap, but it is the same as Win7 Pro, and the upgrade price of the past six months is much cheaper than Win7 ($100). Users who upgrade their own notebooks will not be equipped with touch screens, and the newly introduced Win8 touch models can also kill the price of 4,000 yuan, which has a good price/performance ratio. However, "poor people must have hateful places", previously news from PC manufacturers showed that Win8 pre-installed licensing fees have risen sharply, is it possible for Win8 notebooks to have a wide range of price increases in the future?

5, the future of Windows is here

Microsoft's origins in the mobile Internet era have dropped, watching the rise of tablet PCs. The response of Win8 is very clear. If the users on the traditional PC are successfully migrated to the tablet, then Microsoft is still invincible. The risk is that if the original users can't adapt to the change, then it will become a huge burden. "Connected" evaluates like this: beautiful system, but the future is full of variables. The change of Win8 is very brave and painful. How to distinguish between applications with repeated functions (such as two versions of IE), how can the interface be naturally transitioned, and when will the quality of the application be satisfactory? The Daily Telegraph sees it as a potential space for improvement and future changes. In the long run, traditional Windows will never return. Win8 is not perfect but it indicates the future system ecology.

Windows 8 is actually sad enough to remind you that in the case of not perfect, you have to face the situation of "killing each other", Windows7 has just replaced XP as the first throne of the desktop operating system. It’s time to fight. But no matter what, the world's largest desktop operating system has said goodbye to the glorious past, and the first step has been remarkable.

Finally, personal suggestions for the promotion of Win8, please try to visualize the practical functions and usage of the system, and pay attention to distinguish between Windows 8 and Windows RT, to avoid installing on TV ads.
