Microsoft is taking a big risk-Windows 8 consumer Preview

It is said that after Windows 8 consumer preview is released, the download volume will exceed 1 million in about one day. It is a great honor for me to contribute a lot to these 1 million projects. The last time the system was reinstalled was probably in July of last year, it was installed with Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit. After eight months, the system has accumulated more and more problems, and the idea of reinstalling the system is getting heavier and heavier-eight months is also the longest time I have not reinstalled the system, so I decided to reinstall the system. I was about to reinstall Windows 7, but I saw the popularity of Windows 8 in the past two days. I 'd like to install Windows 8 first.

I saw the download link of the 32-bit Simplified Chinese version from the resource library of QQ tornado, so I took it and the speed was good. Unlike Windows 8 Developer Preview, Windows 8 consumer preview releases a multi-language version. Microsoft should be more confident and looking forward to this version.
Download the Installation File (an ISO format CD image), according to the online tutorial, with Microsoft launched a Windows7-USB-DVD-Tool tool to create a boot-able USB disk. It takes 5 to 10 minutes to create a tutorial on the Internet, but I feel that it is far more than this time. Don't worry about it. After the preparation is complete, restart the computer and start from the USB flash drive. The first time I installed the system with a USB flash drive, I felt that the speed was much faster than that of the CD.
Only simplified Chinese characters can be installed after startup. To start installation, enter the serial number. This version is publicly released by Microsoft, but why do users need to input it again? The original preview version is free of charge. Why bother with this? I guess it is intended to suggest users buy genuine versions. After two restart times (probably not clear), some basic settings will begin. An important step here is to log on to the Microsoft account (previously a Windows Live ID). This step is to be networked, because the school is bound with an IP address and a MAC address, so I cannot connect my computer to the Internet at this time. Fortunately, Microsoft provides another mechanism to create a local account. In fact, it may be better to provide a network setting option. For example, some wireless networks require a password for connection. All other settings are default.
The next step is to use Windows. By default, the first desktop in the Metro style is displayed. However, you can press win to switch between a traditional desktop and a Metro desktop. Then we started playing windows. In addition to the driver and a portable version of chrome, there is no other software installed, that is, it is a bit of fun in the system's own program.
The general feeling is "not used to" and "unstable ".
Not used.
First, the Start menu is unavailable. How troublesome it is! To open a drawing program that comes with windows, win + R should be added to mspaint. Although there are other methods, I always feel that Windows 7 and the previous Start Menu are good!
Secondly, the resource manager uses the ribbon style. This is wise, but I do not like this design very much. I personally prefer the concise style of the Windows 7 Resource Manager.
And then Metro. What makes it hard to understand next to a Metro desktop is that to slide the desktop, you cannot use the mouse to simulate the slide effect. It must also be a scroll wheel or a scroll bar at the bottom. Imagine that the android simulator can use the mouse to simulate the slide of the finger. The metro desktop is still a scroll wheel and a scroll bar. You can't say it, how many people are trying Windows 8 on a tablet, while windows on arm is still uncertain. In addition, some operations under metro take some time to adapt. Microsoft should take measures to train users so that they can learn and enjoy the Metro-style operation experience.
Another problem is the input method, which cannot be understood by Microsoft in terms of the Input Method and keyboard.
Unstable.
It took less than two hours and crashed twice. One was a built-in game called pinball. When chrome was launched for the portable version at one time, it was decisive. However, try chrome again after restarting. The pinball game has a sound and a high performance when running.
In addition, instability is also not smooth. For example, if you press win + TAB to switch the window, there will be incomplete color blocks and lines. If you hover your mouse over the left of the window, this will also happen. During the process of switching from the Metro application to the traditional Windows desktop application, this phenomenon is even more obvious. Even the input method sometimes results in a white area.
The introduction of consumer preview is too early because of many problems. Microsoft may be in a hurry, but it is still necessary to step by step. Next, we will use it for another week. If not, we will return to Windows 7 next weekend.
