Five issues Microsoft should address on Windows 9

Although Microsoft did not display new products at the CES 2014 Consumer Electronics Show, according to the latest news, Microsoft will announce a new Windows system in April this year and test it and sell it in the coming year. Obviously, even with a lot of improved Windows 8.1, the positive impact on Windows 8 is still limited, so we're looking forward to the next version of Windows, which is the advent of Windows 9. At the same time, we think that Windows 9, if you want to win the favor of users, you need to do the following 5 aspects:

　　1. Refine version

Although Windows 8/8.1 has RT and full versions, it is still not comprehensive. including non-touch PC, enterprise users, in fact, for the touch design of the Metro interface is not too much goodwill, so a more detailed version of the division, is very necessary.

For example, a version of the No Metro interface for non-touchscreen computers and corporate users is available, while the RT version of the interface can be designed to be more "mobile" and closer to Apple iOS and Android. Finally, with a hybrid design pc, you can still have a full version of the system as it is now.

　2. Solve screen resolution scaling problem

In 2014, PCs with 2K-resolution screens had become mainstream, while manufacturers such as Dell and Asus had launched 4K displays, and Lenovo and Toshiba were also planning to launch 4K-resolution laptops. Although the precision of the 4K screen is amazing, but the current Windows system does not have a good resolution scaling function, imagine that if the 11-inch screen using the 2K resolution, 24-inch display with 4K resolution, the icon will be too small to see. Clearly, Microsoft needs to provide better resolution scaling issues to achieve a better use experience.

　　3. A better store for applications

Although Microsoft has been trying to make Windows App Store a better place, it's hard for developers to profit from it, so the Trump app has been low and the user is not buying it, leading to a vicious circle. In addition, some of the non-official website of the poor application, but also a large number of in the Windows Store, and Microsoft to maintain a beautiful application figures, also did not clean up in time. So, in the next generation of Windows, Microsoft has a better chance to reorganize Windows stores and invest more to attract more software developers to join.

　　4. Better traditional Desktop Experience

Microsoft hopes to implement the stone strategy through the integration of mobile and desktop operating systems such as Windows 8, but it is clear that for many traditional users, weakening the traditional desktop is not a good idea, or even an impact on the usage experience. We hope that, while highlighting the Metro interface, Microsoft will be able to enhance the traditional desktop priority and use experience, so as to regain the reputation.

　　5. Lower Prices

Last year, Apple released its new OS X system free of charge, and Google Chrome OS is a free system, and Windows 8 still has a high price. Even if Microsoft has a monopoly on the office and the commercial market, but users can choose not to upgrade, so there are many users adhere to Windows 7 or even XP system, which, to some extent, also affect the overall sales of PC hardware products.

Therefore, we hope that Microsoft will be able to launch a preferential upgrade plan for old users, such as only about 50 dollars (about 300 yuan) to induce old users to upgrade, and reduce the retail price. While this can lead to a drop in short-term income, it is a good way to win the reputation of users, keep old users and develop new users in the long run.

　　Summarize

Obviously, Microsoft needs to fix the Windows 8 problem as soon as possible, and we hope to see the news of the new Windows system as soon as possible, and everything will be known in April this year.
