Windows 8 's 23 Daxin inventory

It is reported that the Windows 8 user interface will not change much compared to the Windows 7 operating system, but the system kernel will be greatly improved.

Currently, there are a lot of rumors about Windows 8 in the network, but it is difficult to determine what new features will be included in Windows 8 because Microsoft has not made any external confirmation.

Recently, we have summed up all the rumors of Windows 8, and classified them as follows:

Storage Features

Because of the large number of infrastructure installation applications in the enterprise, users have relied on Third-party tools to handle disk image and drive maintenance tasks. However, over the years, Microsoft has been developing a new generation of file systems.

1. ISO Mounting

At present, other desktop operating systems (Mac OS X, Linux) have the basic function of processing disk images, but today it is still necessary to use third-party tools to load ISO image files under Windows System. Reliable sources say the problem will be terminated in Windows 8.

Later, whether it is to look at the documents in the ISO or directly loaded mirrors, can be directly completed through the system, and also has its own burning function, only in some advanced application requirements will be the use of Third-party professional tools.

In fact, the WinFS service can be seen as adding a database layer based on NTFS, which is based on the upcoming "Yukon" version of SQL Server.

So far, we've rarely seen news related to the improvement of user account management in Windows 8, but there are two interesting features that come out of the forum.

1. Guest Mode

The Guest account has long been a thorny issue in desktop operating systems. In theory, it's a good idea to have everyone log on to the computer and clear the trail after canceling the login, which avoids privacy and security issues.

The guest mode was included in the Windows 7 Beta, but Microsoft canceled the feature in the Windows 7 final edition, indicating that it was difficult to create a temporary user account in the system. So will Microsoft add this feature to Windows 8? Let's wait and see.

User interface Adjustment

The Windows 8 user interface is not very different from Windows 7 in terms of the Windows 8 screenshots that have leaked to the network so far, which is likely due to the fact that Windows 8 is still in its early stages of research and development.

A leaked YouTube video shows that in Windows 8, Microsoft introduced the concept of graphic login, which allows users to draw their own login passwords in a 4x4 array using a graphical password, creating their own unique combinations and logging in with a simple touch method. This approach is similar to the current Android platform concept.
