1, all equipment an interface
We know that Windows 8 focuses on tablet support when it comes to UI design, but don't forget that the PC market is the main battlefield of Windows, and if you want to be in the tablet market, the interface should not be too different, keep the user experience consistent with PC and reduce the cost of learning.
Perhaps Microsoft can not get something with the ipad pk, Windows 7 Bar, too heavy, Windows Phone 7 bar, that time did not consider the pad this market, does not support at all, so Microsoft has the current Windows 8 UI.
2, with the cloud a little more closely
Cloud computing is the next 10 years or even longer hot spot competition area, in this regard Ubuntu has gone ahead, Windows 8 should strengthen and cloud services integration, Microsoft itself does not have Windows azure, it does not want to compete with Google,amazon? Have windows this ace in hand, why not make good use of it, Microsoft has recently made an Office 365, this must be very good integration of office, IE 9 and the future of IE 10 are very focused on the support of HTML 5, these technologies can just be used in the cloud, there is a media Player, this player is no longer completely rebuilt is finished, why not learn from itunes, in fact, Microsoft's cloud strategy has been basically formed, now need the impetus, Windows 8 should assume this responsibility.
3. Better integration with virtualization
In front of cloud computing, another hot technology is virtualization, in fact, virtualization and cloud computing is very close to, or cloud computing is not without virtualization, although Microsoft in the Windows Server family has long been the competition for virtualization technology, but as a front-end user of Windows 7 Support for heterogeneous virtualization Solutions is limited, Windows 8 should not go this way, the world is not your Microsoft a person, all these years of the stand still or not to extinguish the spark of open source is a good example.
WIndows 8 should open the virtualization API to interoperate with other virtualization technologies.
4, compatible with Windows 7
Backwards compatibility has always been an important step for Windows, and thankfully Microsoft has stated that it will be fully compliant with Windows 7 applications and hardware, but after seeing the new Windows 8 UI, I'm really worried about that.
5, speed can be a little faster?
Windows XP was a success, Windows Vista was a failure, Windows 7 saved Vista, and Windows 7 did a lot of work from the startup time, but the application was running and responding more quickly, and the individual felt that Windows XP is faster, so hopefully Windows 8 will try to make it faster in the context of a big UI.
6. No damage to existing Windows deployments
According to data from authoritative investigative agencies, the current number of Windows XP and Windows 7 installed is very large, Windows 8 in the deployment of these existing systems can not be devastating damage, this may be a huge test for enterprise users, Microsoft should be in the launch of Windows 8 The simultaneous release of a detailed upgrade deployment solution, especially if some enterprises are still using Windows XP, allowing them to skip Windows 7 directly to Windows 8 may bring disaster.
