Senior users comment on Windows 8 availability 7 Sins

November 20 News, Microsoft's Windows 8 operating system has been a high level of attention since the release of the operating experience of the previous Windows operating system has made a lot of changes, the recent science and technology website useit.com usability experts Jakob Nielsen has invited 12 experienced users to test the Windows 8 operating system on the/pc side of the tablet, and has published detailed usability reports, but the report has no praise for Microsoft's UI team.

The report claims that, even for experienced users, the new modern UI for Windows 8 is still difficult to understand. Although Microsoft has the most market-share operating system in the world, many of the features cut off in Windows 8 seriously affect the core functionality of the system. The following are the 7 well-known deficiencies identified in the report:

1. Double Desktop Problem

Windows 8 has a traditional and modern two desktop interface, which makes it difficult for users to remember and differentiate, and is very uncoordinated.

2. Lack of multiple windows

Computer knowledge

Windows 8 is the first Windows operating system that does not support multiple windows in decades, and yes, the modern UI does not allow multiple windows to open at the same time.

3. Flat style icon

The icons in the Metro UI are unobtrusive in any way-no shadows, no 3D effects, no easy distinctions between other content types, and it makes it very difficult for users to understand where they will be used.

4. Low information density

Windows 8 's new typography and preference for large images is interesting, but a bit extreme. Like the Los Angeles Times, this app only shows three news on the tablet.

5. Dynamic magnetic paste is too active

Users typically install a lot of apps into new devices, but some of them are not used frequently. When users are trying to find these applications, the change in the dynamic tiles makes the process very difficult.

6. Hidden Super button

The Super button is an attempt by Microsoft to simplify the Setup menu, but there are also some problems. Users must perform a gesture to summon them (usually in a hidden state), but not everyone remembers them. In addition, they are contextual and not intuitive.

7. A puzzling gesture

Gestures in Windows 8 are not simple and represent different functions in different applications.

Finally, Jakob Nielsen concludes: "I didn't mean to target Microsoft." Just, I think, Win7 system is indeed a good product, but Win8, it can be regarded as a product that will bring misleading to the user. And my conclusion is based on the computer interface of human nature to come out. I said that in the next few years, I will continue to use the Win7 system, and I hope to see a good Windows 9 system in the future. The
