From smart ABC to pinyin input method

Speaking of Microsoft's Chinese input method, I believe many people will think of the classic "ABC" before the XP era, and then shake his head, it is too difficult to use. After that, the improved Microsoft Pinyin input method has better support for long sentences input in Chinese input, and the accuracy of word selection is still not high. Since other Chinese input methods at the time were also very different, users did not have much choice and could only continue to use them. After that, the domestic third-party Chinese input method represented by Sogou Pinyin has made it the first choice for Chinese users with excellent vocabulary-based word selection. After that, Microsoft has always updated and upgraded Pinyin input method. Forget completely.

At the same time, as a native input method, there is also an advantage. Even between the split Metro interface and the traditional interface, there is a unified input method experience, and the third-party input method will display a double skin interface BUG under the Metro interface. Of course, I believe that with the improvement of system compatibility in the future, these two advantages and disadvantages will be solved. Whether you can grasp the user in the future depends on how you really experience it.

But compared to the previous version, Windows 8 comes with an input method that is "rebirth".
