Win8 users spit bitter water

Computer Store News:

When Microsoft took a new style of new-generation operating system, Windows8 swept the world, the industry was boiling. Some people cheered and there was some complaints. Although they had launched a test campaign for the time required by users to get used to the system, although some users were found to be quick to get started, they risked changing the interface they had been familiar with for many years. People could not help but pinch them. Cold sweat: Can Microsoft finally succeed in changing people's traditional habits in questioning? Can I use this operating system to make a comeback to adapt to the new market?

Perhaps the answer will be: the road ahead is long and there is a long way to go.

Win8 is going against the wind and the user experience is being seen by the crowd.

The first time you enter the Win8 system, look at the Metro"start" interface and emissions The APP on the interface will be somewhat overwhelmed. After all, I have disappeared. "My computer", the familiar desktop of the past did not know where to go.

With the following, under the traditional desktop, the mouse moves to the four corners of the desktop to call out different functions. “The four sides of the touch, the four corners of the mouse, and the right button of the right hand” are vivid. Also express God.

 The Metro interface and the old desktop system coexist, the fusion is not so smooth, there is a split feeling of either or both. ” Deliberately vomiting, expressing depression, even though Win8 has implemented a universal app on mobile phones, tablets and PCs, it seems that it is still difficult to avoid a lot of "gossip".

Not long ago, some media reported that the real Achilles heel of Win8 is its short battery life.

The article pointed out that during the testing of 11 Win8 laptops, six battery lifes were less than 5 hours, and only two models exceeded 6 hours. The average battery life of all these devices is 5 hours and 8 minutes, and it is impossible for users to use the whole day. They believe that Win 8 or touch screen shortens the battery life of these notebooks.

 quo;Win7 After upgrading Win8, do you regret it? & rdquo; With more and more users suffering, Win8 encountered a dual-mode operating system chaos, no "start" button, sloppy swipe gestures, inconvenient to use mouse control, Windows application store program Too few, far from being practical, and many other aspects of "user experience" is difficult.

Industry insider Tian Feng said that the user experience of Win8 relative to Win7 is really too jump, and under the play, basically can't figure it out. Do you want me to look through the instruction manual? For many years, I didn't read the manual with IT hardware and software, including the camera. I picked up the latest camera and immediately took photos and video. But in the face of Win8, I only have a fog! Is this the modern version of the so-called toddler?

For a time, Win8, which had just been listed and had not been able to get familiar with it, was prematurely drowned in the voice. “Trying to use the tablet and PC bundled way to extend the advantages of the PC operating system to the tablet. Or, the concept of Win8 is not from the innovation of user demand, but from Microsoft strategy. Need. & rdquo; More users say so.

In the face of these “accidents” from all sides, it is still confident in the road ahead. Microsoft Windows product development director recently said that users who are accustomed to the traditional Windows operating mode may not be able to accept Windows 8, but as little as 2 days and 2 weeks, users can fully adapt to this new system. About six weeks after that, users will tend to abandon traditional Windows and start using more touch functions.

In any case, it takes only two weeks to adapt to Win8. Is this Microsoft's delusion?

Microsoft: Challenge people's traditional living habits

Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, they prefer to go to Hushan. This sentence is used to describe Microsoft's Win8 line is probably appropriate.

Recently, many investors are worried about the future of Microsoft because of the forecast that Windows8-based hardware devices may not be sold as expected, but there are also some recent market research reports from several third-party organizations. It is pointed out that the Windows 8 touch screen computer in the market is not a chicken rib, and its sales have exceeded expectations.

& ldquo; If you go to the retail store today, you will see a lot of excellent touch devices, some are touch screen notebooks, some are tablet computers, and it is possible to use Windows 8 or Windows RT. In our opinion, this is not enough. I think there will be a lot of products released in the future, and we are very happy to see that these products are being put into retail channels and they are coming soon. & rdquo; talk about the existing Windows 8 touch devices on the market, Microsoft said that it still did not meet expectations.

Perhaps, some people will say that the raging Microsoft Win8 has opened up a new era of touch screens, but it seems that it is not so easy and requires more courage to do the first thing to eat crabs.

“ Non-touch screen Win8, how an egg hurts. It can only be said that Win8 is a product that Microsoft has made in order to seize the tablet market. It is really not suitable for porting to desktops and laptops. In the future, what will the notebook look like, but the tablet market will be more similar. Surface RT, Ultrabook will have more products like Surface PRO. ” A user who upgraded Win8 expressed his feelings after using it.

It is true that touch-screen computers with Win8 will feel particularly cool, just like using a large smart touch-screen phone. However, the Metro interface design does not seem to be suitable for non-touch screen devices. People are worried that Microsoft will eventually go to "Don't touch the screen, lose the touch screen" and end with … …
< Recently, in a forum discussion on whether to upgrade from Windows7 to Win8, a user engaged in education and training posted that the need to figure out their needs before upgrading, I do not need Windows8 now, I have Work-related software that must be used under Windows 7, and, more time, I don't spend more time thinking about new things, but I want to get new knowledge more efficiently. If I am used to using Windows 8, it doesn't help to improve my existing work and life. Efficiency, I am not willing to use it. Maybe when I can improve my work efficiency higher and faster, maybe when I have to use a new version of the software, I will consider switching to Windows 8.

In fact, the user's not buying is probably the biggest threshold that Win8 encountered when it first entered the market. For ordinary users who are used to the traditional operating system, it is necessary to have a hard change. The habit of the year is harder and harder. However, for Microsoft, increasing the battery life, solving the heat problem, and finding a perfect balance between performance, cost and weight, Win8 is not hopeless.

Industry analysts believe that Microsoft's "a combination of two devices (that is, using an x86 Pad instead of a notebook and an iPad)" is a great wish, if it can be realized, it will open a brand new market. However, the challenge to achieve this vision is very large. In fact, since the Tablet PC era, Microsoft has been trying to solve the problem that has not been solved for 15 years. Can Microsoft really hope for this?
