Win8 Tablet Trial Experience: Subversion of Old Windows Mode

Today, Microsoft officially showed Windows 8 tablets to developers. Here is the first trial experience that TechCrunch gave to Win 8 tablets: In the past 2 days, I have been After playing the Windows 8 tablet, it is a real PC, it's pretty cool and intuitive. Windows 8 is not the same as the previous version of Windows. On the other hand, it is an upgrade on the Widnows desktop system.

1. No PC World

Everything that runs on Windows 8 is just a PC. Yes, the tablet is also a PC. On the one hand, it allows Microsoft to circumvent the argument of “better than the iPad”; on the other hand, it can also allow Microsoft to stimulate the weak desktop market.

2, pay attention to cloud computing

On the cloud computing system, Microsoft invested a lot of time and money. For example, a conversation on Microsoft MSN will move from one computer to another, logging in from the screen, and a portrait will be displayed on the registered machine.

3, everyone can be programmed

You can use HTML5 or Javascrip to program, both support Windows 8, maybe Windows Phone will also support. Like iOS, Windows is the new gene for device blood, and the core code is commonly used in the past.

4, Windows is no longer bloated

Due to cloud computing, Windows can actually boot from USB. Obviously, there are several special reasons for booting from a USB flash drive, because it can, so it's cool. Windows exposes different hardware APIs that can support both ARM and X86 processor machines.

5, there are other ways to run

Windows 8 supports stylus, supports handwriting and touch, and may also support voice, motion and other input. For example, you can have a mouse and keyboard to form a good PC, and you can bring it on the move. The device has been tuned to have a large display but is as perfect as a workstation.

Regardless of whether you like it or not, Microsoft takes up a significant portion of the PC business. Windows 8 is perfect and not perfect? Absolutely not perfect. But this version …… is quite interesting. It is different from the original Windows.

This is Windows 8, we can't do anything about it, it's aimed at consumers, it supports touch from scratch, it's exciting to say goodbye to the past. Microsoft made a compromise when it came out, relying on the old-fashioned Windows form, but it's clear that cloud computing, new touch interfaces, including user interfaces that support handwriting and fingers, and all improvements are all right.

Many people will like this system and feel satisfied.

Try Windows 8 Prototype

The Windows 8 prototype is built by Samsung and feels a bit cumbersome, but if you think of it as a PC, you feel Not bad. Plug the tablet into the dock and work fine. There are two modes in the system. I hope that Microsoft developers can develop programs and make both models worthwhile. The keyboard and extension devices provided by Microsoft don't know who they are from, but they work very well. The control panel is great, compared to the iPad control panel, Windows 8 is more powerful and easier to use. The hardware is well made. As a tablet, it's a bit big, with an aspect ratio of 16:9, which is a bit unbalanced. It might be better if the screen is smaller. Handwriting recognition is good, and the touch screen can respond to pens and fingers.

At the conference, Microsoft sent a total of 5,000 Samsung Win 8 tablets. The tablet uses Intel's second-generation Core 5 processor, 11.6-inch display, resolution 1366X766, one year AT&T 3G service (monthly 2GB traffic), 4GB DDR3 memory, 64GB solid state drive, USB, HDMI, mini SD. The whole machine weighs 909 grams and is 12.9 mm thick.
