Microsoft: Focus on touch, Win8.1 Update does not go back

Computer Store News:

Windows 8.1 Update brings many desktop improvements and modifies some of the features of previous Windows upgrades, so many users think that Microsoft is changing its mind and is making up for it in Windows 8. mistake.

Microsoft is reported to be developing a start menu. With the return of the start menu, some people think that Microsoft recognizes the mistakes made by Win8 and goes back. Microsoft executive vice president Terry Myerson explained in an interview that Microsoft is actually trying to expand its user base. Although some users think that Microsoft is going back, Microsoft is now eager to develop its touch environment.

Terry Myerson explains: "We are working hard to build a platform and project that spans all types of devices, from IoT, mobile phones, tablets, game consoles to servers. We hope to expand to the full range, and users can get all the different input modes. Users now have access to Kinect, mouse, keyboard, touch and voice. The new content we added in Win8.1 Update is more suitable for the mouse and keyboard, but we have nothing to cancel the touch operation.

We didn't go back, we fully believe in touch, and the touch operation is great. But there are still thousands of new PCs that don't use touch every year, and we hope to support these PCs. We hope that users can enjoy our products. If the user tells us that we want to support a feature, we will listen carefully. ”
