The mobile Internet era WinXP users face "N can't be

  

From the previous browser-based web surfing to today's real swimming in the ocean of the Internet, the mobile Internet is giving us a new job and lifestyle. Today, if you still In sticking to the Windows XP system, it is no exaggeration to say that you have been unable to keep up with this new era. For example, in the days of the Double 11 Shopping Carnival, you need to "snap", when you approach Windows 8 users three Double boot time, lower IE browsing speed and most likely cyber security attacks, in the face of the final "failed to place orders", I believe you will feel what is really outdated! A simple example, It is enough to make us clearly aware that in the 12 years after the birth of Windows XP, network communication technology, software applications, hardware devices, human-computer interaction and even consumption methods have undergone earth-shaking changes. In the new mobile Internet environment, Windows XP really should be retired.

Compared to 12 years Before, we have entered an ever-changing network era, more application barriers have been broken, and innovative technologies have emerged. For example, USB 3.0, wireless/3D printers, Bluetooth keyboards, 4K monitors, etc. are rapidly evolving new technologies and new ones. Devices are helping us build a better digital life. However, for Windows XP, which is about to exit the stage of history, it can no longer meet the minimum requirements of these new technologies and new devices. The operating system is an important part of people's digital life, now the Windows XP has indirectly become our stumbling block toward the new digital age.

cross-platform, cross-device operation is an important trend in the modern development of the internet, and Windows XP users, compared with More and more "incompatible" troubles. Take the browser as the main entry tool for the Internet, for example, with the IE6/7/8 version of Windows XP, in addition to frequent high-risk vulnerabilities, a large number of users also Complaints, such as the inability to use online banking, login forum community, display errors and other compatibility issues. More importantly, due to IE The obsolescence and the lack of support for the new standard of the page make the user's network experience worse and worse. Take IE6 as an example, the time to open the same web page will be more than 5 times that of IE10, and the risk of attack is higher than 6 In contrast, the new combination of Windows 8 IE10 and Windows 8.1 IE11 not only allows users to easily synchronize browser settings, account passwords and bookmarks with Microsoft accounts. For developers, embrace modern operating systems and The benefit of the browser is that you don't have to worry about cross-browser, you can write a common run once, and you can easily help them develop cutting-edge innovative features on the website. At the same time, Windows XP can't support many popular software including Photoshop, Office 2013, etc., so that users can't experience a lot of innovative features. In contrast, Windows 8/8.1 has almost all the drivers that can be used on Windows computers and supports a variety of peripherals. Moreover, Windows 8/8.1 has been designed to be compatible with software and is perfectly compatible with most software including third-party security.

In addition, Windows XP, which relies too much on keyboard and mouse operations, cannot achieve a better human-computer interaction experience and does not meet the trend of Internet applications such as mobile and touch. The Windows 8/8.1 system, designed for the mobile Internet, takes into account both the desktop and the mobile interface. The entire system supports touch screen operation and is equipped with a virtual keyboard program. More importantly, in the Windows 8 app store, users can find a number of favorite APP apps, build their own digital devices, and enjoy a personalized web experience.

Today, connecting to the Internet with the most convenient terminal devices at any time and any place has become a trend in digital life, while Windows XP users cannot enjoy the full mobile Internet experience. It can be said that Windows XP, which was mainly created for desktop PCs, has lost the meaning and value of the operating system in the current network and application environment. Any device running Windows 8/8.1 can connect to the Internet, and users can have the same operating environment, including system settings, application software and of course personal data. For example, cloud storage Skydrive, online mail Outlook.com, app store, etc., based on Microsoft's "cloud + end" service model, bring users a multi-screen synchronization application experience, to maximize the true charm of the mobile Internet .

Even if the application experience and security risks are left out, Windows XP is no longer able to meet user needs in terms of overall performance. Take the typical application environment of the game as an example, including "Need for Speed ​​16: Desperate Mania", "Battlefield 3", "Sniper Elite V2", "Dust: Decisive Battle", "Ghost Recon 4: Future Warrior" and other current popular games. It has been announced that the XP operating system will no longer be supported. Moreover, in order to pursue better game effects, more new games in the future will use DirectX11 or other better new technologies. Windows XP, which only supports Direct X9 and does not support dual graphics switching, has completely failed to meet the high and fast requirements of gamers for the operating system. This means that the best game visuals available today are only available on Windows 8/8.1 systems.

From the release of Windows XP to the present 12 years, with the improvement of people's living standards, information technology has also undergone earth-shaking changes, and higher and higher user demand for the Windows XP system that will stop technical support. More and more tired of coping. Windows 8/8.1 brings new system vitality to users. Through better features of touch, mobility and security, users can achieve a unified and complete application experience in a highly personalized environment. In the face of a new digital era, we should say goodbye to XP and embrace Windows 8.
