Windows 8 system will bring together Microsoft's many product features

According to foreign media reports, Microsoft CEO Steve · Steve Ballmer recently demonstrated four products of the company at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas: support for ARM architecture Windows 7, Windows Phone 7, Xbox Kinect, and Surface. Although Ballmer did not explicitly mention Windows 8 at the Electronics Show (the name of Microsoft's next-generation operating system has not yet been determined), analysts believe that Windows 8 will include the features of many Microsoft products.

The following are the new operating systems or features that will be included:

1. Built-in Xbox

When the new Xbox was first launched, it was once a cutting-edge technology product, but in In the past 4 years, even relatively cheap PCs have easily surpassed the Xbox in performance. Microsoft is actively introducing a virtualization system. Since the gaming industry's profits come from games and accessories, not hardware products, users can imagine that Microsoft will develop a virtualized Xbox experience for PCs. In fact, Microsoft does have Windows Phone 7 with the Xbox experience, but the experience is different. Microsoft has not launched a dedicated hand held gaming platform. So, will Microsoft revise its product strategy for PCs and match its strategy with Windows Phone 7 and Zune MP3 players?

You can think of this as a long process, but at Consumer Electronics Show One of the product features that emerged was the first version of the game PC, which integrated the Xbox. Players and professionals have a special liking for Xbox and PC, which may also imply that related products are coming soon.

2.Kinect

It is difficult for PCs to integrate touch technology. The main reason is that PCs are equipped with independent displays, and PCs lack displays that support touch technology. For notebooks, touching the screen can cause the back of the note to tilt, which makes the most successful use of touch screen technology to date. Kinect does not require touch technology, and disabled people can also get Kinect test through PC. Kinect has also made many improvements. The obvious advantages of the PC in demos and games will make Kinect an extra low-cost interface.

3.Surface

The Surface uses a new generation of LCD screens as a camera and display, and each pixel is also a camera. Since the surface is available for photography, no touch is required and the screen touch pressure is reduced. Therefore, this may become Microsoft's response to the Apple iPad touch interface.

4.Windows Phone 7

Microsoft upgraded the Zune interface for Windows Phone 7, and received positive comments. Will this be the benchmark for the Win8 interface? Microsoft may have gone from the past Lessons learned from the failure: applying a small screen interface to a large screen or applying a large screen interface to a small screen requires a huge change in design, so the two interfaces are not expected to be the same.

There are rumors that Apple will extract the design elements of the iPhone and iPad and incorporate it into the new Mac operating system, so it seems reasonable for Microsoft to adopt the same approach.

In short, since the launch of Windows 95, Microsoft has not introduced a Windows product that represents the entire company. After the introduction of Windows 95, Windows became a huge business of Microsoft. Although Microsoft itself has become more powerful, Windows functionality is far lower. Windows 8 may be able to integrate all of Microsoft's technology products and make it the most successful product Microsoft has introduced to the market. Microsoft has broken the tradition and adopted the ARM architecture, which has been a big surprise. With an in-depth understanding of the new operating system, it is expected that Microsoft will bring us more surprises in the future.
