There came the day when we were thinking that there are other gods besides Apple. We were given a test device running Windows 8 in the editorial once and sat happily in front of the colorful tiles. This design (it was once “Metro”) saw in class, put a concept behind it and it was intuitive to use. Just with a touch screen: Touch the tiles to open or hold the shift. Especially for Windows 8, Microsoft had adapted the programs of everyday use. Made it fun to email, surf to search. And it was designed for computer, tablet and smartphone. Shall we go?
When we got to the one or the other menu item could not handle certain features have not been found or the assignment of the screen corners forgot again, we thought although for brief moments that Apple is still using Mac OS X, but the better operating system had. But once we gave Microsoft a chance by we took the time to get to know the new operating system and also wanted to reward the courage, the Microsoft mustered in these difficult times. Of course they were with their backs to the wall.
Blue successor will be a step backwards
Many users seem to have no courage to upgrade to Windows 8th Although Microsoft has sold since its launch in the autumn over 100 million Windows 8th However, in recent months, sales plummeted. Because 60 million copies had already gone out to January. These are obviously not enough for the company. Also, hardware manufacturers such as Acer were not satisfied. Also continually bleated users who had the courage to switch over, so much so that Microsoft probably got doubts about its new operating system itself.
So the company has responded nervously, still announced the update, the name “Blue” has been known for this year. This is the complete system crash. Windows 8 has just been launched in the autumn of times last year. Microsoft talked about innovation, radical change, a new beginning and so on. And what Microsoft’s Tami Reller manager says Reuters today? The current version is not perfect and needs to be revised. Microsoft did not get rid of the image that its operating systems were still only half-finished and half-baked? With Windows 7, it was on the way. Most were satisfied.
not sit back!
But what should now be exactly Windows Blue? It can only apply to Windows 8 be a step backwards. Because the reason for this seems another in truth. Customers were put off by the tiled look, missing their Start button and changed as soon as possible on the Windows 7 interface. In fact, many Windows 7 back you want to go back. They were possibly blinded by the Windows 8 demonstrations that have taken place on a computer with a touch screen. The tile functionality is certainly less fascinating on a classic screen. But it is innovative and forward-looking.
think Windows8-deniers, how the future will look like? It will soon only getoucht on the screen, wiped and pushed. Google focuses its Chrome operating system from it, the manufacturer of ultra-and notebooks anyway. If the world is full of touch-sensitive screens, will crave the Windows7 friends after the tiles and hard on her fiddle Start button. A phone without a keyboard? Since 2007 were probably many – even Steve Ballmer – agreed. No, I have to get used me. I need keys. I always use. To such human Tami Reller has probably thought when they at the announcement of Windows Blue said. “We do not sit back and tell us that they will get used to it,” Microsoft should sit back
