Windows 10 Release: Microsoft's Return and progress

"We hope that all Windows 7 users will feel the same way: Yesterday they were driving the first Prius, and today Windows 10 would make them feel like they were driving Tesla." ”

Early this morning, Microsoft released a new generation operating system Windows 10, interestingly, the previous version of the name is Windows 8, that is, Microsoft actually skipped Windows 9. Although from a system naming, it seems that this new system release is a great leap forward, but from the interface, it is a return. Shangri-La Casino

Notably, from the 4-inch "mini" phone to the 10-inch flat tablet and the 14-inch laptop to the 80-inch giant screen PC, Microsoft has named its next-generation system a unified Windows 10.

These future devices with the Win 10 system will have similar capabilities, Microsoft is from small to the cloud as a whole to build this unified platform, cross-platform sharing common technology is also in development. Microsoft officially claims that Windows 10 will be the company's "most comprehensive platform ever", providing a customized experience for all hardware through a single platform. At the same time, all of the Windows 10 devices you own will have a unified store, apply unified updates, and unify your purchases.

However, users with different devices to run win 10 will see their own unique user interface. We can think of this, win 10 is the combination of Win 7 and win 8, and borrowed the two operating system versions of the design elements, combined with the "Metro" Start screen and the traditional "Start" menu, desktop users will see is no longer covered with "live tile" display.

Windows 8 is not a successful system, not the expected success, faced with the modern interface, from Windows XP and Windows 7 users come over to look at a loss, even I think Windows 8 is really better. But for more users, not accustomed to is not useful.

Windows 10 just released can be seen as a regression that allows Windows 7 users to migrate to Windows 10 as well. For this reason, the user's call for a long Start menu has returned, which is another compromise that Microsoft has for the user's needs following the Windows 8.1 join Start button. And the new Start menu also supports the tile.

The layout of the Start menu can represent a tendency that Windows 10 is actually a link between Windows 7 and Windows 8, which takes into account both experiences.

Task view is a new button on the taskbar, and when clicked, you can see the currently running multitasking program, which is a bit like the Expose multi-tasking view of OS X, and the Snap enhancements feature can also be seen as a shortcut to Ctrl+alt+tab Multi-task view switching before Of.

In addition, Windows 10 also strengthens the multi-window mode switching function, the user can according to different use environment needs to customize different virtual desktops, suitable for some high productivity users.

In addition, the Charm bar, which was rumored to be canceled, is still in place, and the Windows 10 tablet user pulls the finger from the left side of the screen to bring up task View Task Manager.

In addition, two and one device or tablet device can choose another Start menu/desktop form. In this mode, the Start menu, modern tile interface, and power options are rendered directly on the desktop in a permanent form with the taskbar, which looks more like a tablet interface.

More features about Windows 10 will be released at next year's Build conference, and it is expected that Windows 10 will meet with consumers after that, and a technical preview is available for download tomorrow.

Microsoft's previous strategy also included a "three-screen-one-cloud" strategy, with mobile phones, tablets, and PCs (and, in fact, Xbox) running a consistent, consistent system of cores. Now it seems that Windows RT is basically limbo rhythm, Windows Phone is hard to attack, so Microsoft put chips on the Windows tablet, this time Windows 10 also stressed the system's cross-device consistency. The intention of the meeting with local white-label manufacturers is to boost Windows tablet share by relying on the huge shipments of white-label manufacturers.

And, Microsoft claims that Windows 10, as a unified brand name for Microsoft's next generation system, will cover all sizes and categories of Windows devices. From microcomputers (like Intel Galilei, for IoT devices), mobile phones (WP 8 to helicopter to Windows 10?). Sounds a bit fantasy), tablets (ARM and x86 chips), two-in-one devices, desktops, and servers that share an App store. Developers who develop applications (Universal Windows apps) will be very easy to migrate across platforms, and users will be guaranteed a consistent experience after switching between devices.

Terry Myerson, executive vice president and head of operating systems at Microsoft, said:

"Windows 10 will deliver the right experience at the right time, through the right device, and can run on the most extensive device type ever." ”

Obviously, the task of Windows 10 is to get those who still stay in Windows 7 or even Windows XP systems, and those who do not fit Windows 8, to be courted, for this reason, Microsoft WP Business Global Vice President Joe Belfiore said:

"We hope that all Windows 7 users will feel the same way: Yesterday they were driving the first-generation Toyota Prius, and today Windows 10 would make them feel like they were driving Tesla." ”

"We hope that all Windows 7 users will feel the same way: Yesterday they were driving the first Prius, and today Windows 10 would make them feel like they were driving Tesla." "The Microsoft WP business owner describes the new user experience that Win 10 will bring.

It is necessary to note that Microsoft has just released the technology preview of Win 10, and all new features will be perfected and modified in the coming months. And at the beginning of next year, Microsoft will launch more consumer-oriented content. At the build conference next April, Microsoft will officially release win 10 and will launch more universal applications. The time to market for Win 10 will also be locked in later next year.
