IE8: Use a browser like Windows

Browser is currently the most important platform for Internet access, so competition between different browsers is fierce. Although browser development, such as rendering engines, JavaScript interpreters, and application development standards, it is hard to tell who is better or worse, competition from several vendors trying to redefine users' browser habits is much clearer.

Firefox and chrome change users' browsing habits

 
In the browser field, IE6 and IE7 have in fact dominated people's habits of surfing the Internet using browsers. Although this is not necessarily the best browsing experience. However
Google and Firefox are quickly emerging, providing different choices for people who are tired of IE. Firefox brings DIY user experience to the extreme. Like other open-source
Similar to the product, relying on the wisdom of the Community, as long as different plug-ins from the Firefox community are installed, Firefox can be expanded to almost any function you want. However, this kind of cross-slice is the same as swap.
The browser method seems to be only interesting to technical enthusiasts, because it may be too complicated for most browser users. Google's Chrome browser is simple
The user experience has been pushed to the extreme. No matter the chrome framework or multiple tabs, there is no impact on the design of your Internet content browsing. If you want to quickly access the Internet world through a browser,
If you use chrome for the first time, there will be no problem. It is not hard to see that, with the rapid development of Firefox and Google's own browser
The launch of Chrome has quietly influenced people's current habits of using IE browsers. On the other hand, IE6 and IE7 do not have many dazzling applications like Firefox, nor do they have
Chrome is quick to access the Internet. This may be the last thing Microsoft wants to see, because one day users are no longer willing to use IE, and Microsoft will lose more opportunities on the Internet.


Use Windows as a guide for desktop users


 
Let's take a look at the desktop operating system field. Microsoft officially succeeded by cultivating users' usage habits for Windows. The initial function of the operating system is to automatically manage hardware resources and help users quickly introduce
Export to the application, that is, the operating system should be as transparent as possible to users. However, with the popularity of Windows systems, people become accustomed to focusing on operating systems. Because Windows has been preinstalled
The more applications and management tools you use, the more you may think that you are using the operating system. If you have used Linux or other non-
Windows system experience may be more in my opinion. It is also because people are used to the use of such Windows systems that it is difficult to compete with other types of systems for a long time.
This is particularly evident in the desktop market.
Migrate windows usage habits to IE


 
Therefore, when IE is facing the most severe market competition since the release of IE6, IE8 must be designed to take into account the user behavior of previous versions, in addition, it can create a new method that can be quickly connected by users.
And significantly different "new" Rules for Firefox and chrome. According to IE8's overall platform strategy or specific functional design, the experience IE8 creates is windows.
The IE 8 browser is used as a web application container. Microsoft's web applications are preset in the browser to aggregate Internet information through these applications, so that users can open as few web pages as possible, even
So that you no longer need to enter the URL, you can view the content you want through the browser (for example, using the webslice function of IE8 ). In this way, the user can be closer to the desired information, saving
When the Internet time is reached, more browsers are also focused on Internet applications in IE. This is similar to the Windows installer. In this way, an Internet Explorer
The platform is similar to the Windows platform, and the ecosystem of Microsoft and third-party application vendors has been established. When you need a third-party web application, you can download And then install it in IE8. For the vast majority of Internet Explorer users, this is already a habit of using Windows.

If you make a bold prediction, the development of the browser may be attributed to two trends, integrating more web applications into the browser, users can obtain their own information by using browser tools, or make the browser transparent, allowing users to quickly access the Internet to find their own information. Microsoft seems to have its own plans.
