Winbeta exposed a new round of Windows Threshold (the next big feature in Windows), as well as the ability to address Windows ' interaction on desktop, tablet and mobile three platforms.

To sum up, the Windows Threshold features mentioned by Winbeta include the following:

Explicitly divided into two versions: full-featured (for desktops and professional devices) does not contain the start interface now in Windows 8.x, but the new Start menu has the option of full screen display in a similar way to the start interface, lightweight versions (for entry-level/small size and RT flat and mobile phones) to completely remove the desktop, and Group Policy , the registry, a similar WinForm application framework (Minimize, Maximize, and close buttons provided for Xiandai applications in Windows 8.1 Update), and Win32 API applications. The interactive dynamic tile concept (only the same concept, not exactly the same function) that Microsoft demonstrated before was introduced into Windows Threshold. Users can interact with the magnets directly without opening the application, and only certain categories of applications will support this feature after the developer updates the application. A notification center similar to Windows Phone 8.1 is introduced into the Threshold update for Windows RT. Cortana will appear in the same form as Windows Phone in the start interface. It was rumored that the Chram bar (super button) would be canceled, but developers would be asked to add the same functionality to the existing Charm bar in the application. Contract Concepts (System-level sharing, etc.) will be retained. There will be more customization details at the beginning of the interface.

As can be seen in the details, Microsoft is trying to solve the current Windows desktop version, mobile version (including RT and Windows Phone) product design, user positioning is not clear problem. In the new version, Microsoft uses a one-size-fits-all approach to separate two parts of the product, compared with the cost of educating users and consumers on a wide range of marketing and promotional costs. At the same time, Microsoft is consolidating its RT and Windows Phone two brands that do not need to split, as promised in WPC. But at the same time Winbeta also mentions that the native application folder of Windows Phone 8.1 Update may not be added to the Threshold update of Windows RT because it conflicts with the existing Tile grouping feature.

The idea of adding Charm Bar from the system layer to the application in fact, with the Android cancel menu key Similar, the system layer of the menu while bringing a fixed unified expansion menu call out the location, but its application and the inherent level of fragmentation easy to users in the application of repeated search function after the failure to realize its existence. These features should be integrated into applications to make their items more natural and indicative.

According to Winbeta, Windows Threshold is essentially a new round of feature updates for Windows 8.x (not a Windows version update), but because of the market strategy to eliminate the impact of Windows 8.x negative brand image, Windows Threshold does not extend the Windows 8.x brand name, but it will enable the new brand (most people think it is Windows 9).
