Connecting Microsoft: Windows 8's new kernel

About some trends in Windows 8, the recent soft media online and Microsoft Windows8 departments have communicated, through the specific department and who, this is not good Talked, in the dialogue only [Microsoft] on behalf of the US Microsoft Windows8 department staff, some of the greetings and tone of speech in the dialogue are ignored. Today we talk about the new kernel for Windows 8.

[Soft Media]: In the conversation just now, you talked about the terminal application repeatedly. It seems that Windows 8 directly supports tablets, mobile phones and PCs. Is this what you mean? A few hours ago, you Microsoft did not just release the Windows Phone 7 system. Many people say that Microsoft will use the Windows Phone system directly on the tablet instead of the Win7 system. However, many hardware manufacturers in the market use Win7 as a tablet system, but have not seen a tablet that is released using Windows Phone 7 as an operating system.

[Microsoft]: I just said that Windows 8 has changed a lot. It has been seen from Windows 8 M1, and the kernel of Windows 8 has been greatly improved. Not just performance. As for the Windows Phone 7, you just mentioned, you can explain that Windows Phone does not have its own system.

[Soft Media]: Ah, what about Windows Phone 7 just released?

[Microsoft]: Windows Phone 7 and Windows 7 have nothing to do with this. You should also know that Windows Phone 7 is based on Windows CE. The real system is Windows 8, because Windows 8 has a greatly improved and upgraded new kernel, Win8 has its own Core System, can … … ah, can directly support the ARM chip.

[Soft Media]: Support ARM? Windows CE or Windows Phone 7 series phones are based on ARM chips. Does this mean that you and Intel's Wintel era have changed. . Of course, this question may be too big.

[Microsoft] Windows 8 support for tablets, mobile phones, and computers is based on this new kernel, yes, direct support. As for the impact of Intel, it will not be much. After all, it depends on what kind of chips and chipsets the terminal hardware vendors decide to adopt. For us, Windows 8 starts to support new chips directly, which is as simple as that.

[Soft Media]: This is a chance for ARM. Maybe they will take the opportunity to launch a desktop computer version of the chip to cater to the Windows 8 system. However, it is difficult to talk about, ARM is already an absolute king in the smart phone chip. In fact, for ordinary computer users, more attention is paid to whether the hardware requirements of Windows 8 are higher, and whether the newly improved new kernel will lead to more software game compatibility issues.

[Microsoft]: From the hardware and other hardware supported by Win8's Core System, it is conceivable that Win8's hardware requirements will not be higher than Windows7, after all, the CPU of tablet and mobile phone. The computing power is not high, and the underlying kernel of Win8 needs to be perfectly supported by them. Therefore, Win8 does not require higher hardware than Vista or Windows 7.

[Soft Media]: I remember that some people used Windows Phone's boot speed to compare with Android and iPhone. Windows Phone is still very good. So, for the future of Windows 8, whether to keep the fast boot on the phone should be no doubt, then on the ordinary computer? Will the boot speed of Windows 8 be improved?

[Microsoft]: In fact, the boot speed of Windows 8 will increase, but more improvements are the kind of instant boot. Just like turning off your Apple iPad by pressing the power button. The next time it is turned on, it will be very fast, and the power supply will have almost no consumption. The design of Windows 8 is like this, introducing a new sleep and sleep mechanism to achieve ultra-low power consumption in standby, so as to achieve the next quick instant boot. Of course, the kernel has also been optimized, and the cold boot will be faster. The new Windows 8 kernel has been redesigned for Windows 8 to be turned on and off, and the speed to log out of the current system and shut down the system has also been accelerated, which has an amazing joy experience compared to previous systems.
