Analysis says Windows 8 is missing hardware that needs to be started with the product

The Microsoft Windows 8 Preview, which was available for download in Wednesday, is a source of interest to some tech commentators. Windows 8 is the deciding factor in whether Microsoft will finally win the battle against Apple's ipad.

Later this year, users will see Microsoft's new software on tablets and other hardware products. Microsoft revealed to the public at the World Mobile Conference in Barcelona (MWC) The true appearance of Windows 8 devices, especially tablets. Microsoft's lineup includes many hardware prototypes running Windows 8, and computers designed for Windows 7 (Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga, which was launched earlier this year to convert to a tablet), is not included.

Windows 8 May be an emotional one, but it remains to be seen whether Microsoft's hardware partners will be able to produce devices that are designed to be attractive, responsive to touch, power-lasting and priced, like the ipad.

Microsoft released its Windows Phone in early 2010 and made a comprehensive improvement to the Windows system to make it available to smart machines. It was praised by tech commentators at the time, and Windows phones look and feel different from Apple's iphone and Google's Android handsets. However, after the launch of the Smart Real machine later in 2010, users did not feel special, nor did they see Windows Phone gadgets. Microsoft is disappointed by its poor sales.

Until January this year, a smartphone Nokia Lumia 900, which was nearing completion and seemed to meet Windows software operations, was launched but not yet available. Whether the phone will satisfy consumers ' expectations is unknown.

But Apple's approach is quite different. It often announces new products in advance, and then produces shelves in a matter of weeks, boosting sales to maximize production. It's easy for Apple because Apple makes its own software and hardware and has hundreds of of its own stores.

There is a tradition in the computer industry: The industry starts talking about it before the operating system is officially available, because it allows independent software developers and hardware manufacturers to be interested in new software. Even Apple, which has changed the practice of promoting new products, began to publicize the new operating system several months ago, including its recently announced Kings Lion.

Michael Mace, the former Apple and Palm Marketing Director, Michael Masse The main reason why manufacturers are not showing off new products until the hardware is complete or nearing completion: The early release of new products will freeze sales of current products. Although early disclosure of the software operating system will produce the same effect, the old hardware purchased before the release of the new software can be upgraded with new code.

"The timing of the hardware preview is best close to its official release time, which is why Apple is so focused on confidentiality," Mace said. ”

The rival of Windows8 tablet computer is the new ipad that Apple will release in San Francisco next week.
