Windows 8 Review
ties a Microsoft operating system Windows 8 tablets. Should update fans great?
Windows 8 is not a wish, but a necessity. Not for you, the consumer. Microsoft.
We like to think that somewhere, somehow, a group of experts from the user interface to meet for lunch in one of the (probably) at Microsoft in Redmond cafes of expansion. They talk about their lives, their families, and how they are appalled by the decision of Microsoft and the need to unify the user experience across its product range.
This is the real reason why Windows 8 looks and feels like a slap overtop tablet operating system Windows 7 (with a few tweaks here and there). Right. Users have no way to avoid it is Microsoft has made sure of that. And, in many respects, nothing around it to Microsoft, either. The company has decided that users may have different experiences on Windows computers, smartphones, tablets, or any device on the horizon crazy, but refuses (or can not) cut the cord from the traditional desktop experience for the moment.
Windows 8 is the natural and necessary hybrid the last time we're likely to see the "core" of the Windows experience of the past decade mashed touch with multicolored boxes "Metro" the future. A word about this: While Microsoft has decided not to call the tablet-ized part of the user interface of Windows 8 Metro-is now simply called "Windows 8" We we still use the old nomenclature for easier to deal with this patch.
However, we are willing to bet that you will have many other color names to their experience with the new operating system.
installation We never thought we would write the words "Microsoft has made it easy to install Windows", but there you have it. His version implementation Newest first Microsoft Windows the laborious process previously deleted from your hard drive and play the equivalent of 20 social issues to install an operating system.
assuming you have a product key now required to install Windows 8, rather than after the fact-input-process is identical to installing Windows 7 in the first place. Once you have configured the installation program to copy the files on the hard disk, Windows 8 is out of the race. Simple installation black screen gives concise updates on what is happening between the installation media and hard disk. After that, only five positions require attention, including the right to choose the name of your computer and your favorite color and three for the verification of the configuration of the Windows Live ID that you want to link to your installation.When Windows 8 said, "Your PC will be ready in a moment," he is not joking. This is faster, trouble-free installation of the operating system that I have seen.
and ...
Welcome to Metro! Click the tabs to select and drag around your desktop to create new columns Metro-is "garbage" class, program groups.
start with the applications. At the time of this review, Microsoft and third-party developers around the world have yet to jump on the bandwagon of the request. We can not talk about what is on the horizon for the metro, but we can talk about the applications that came with the operating system by default.
The only full-screen application, environmental Metro takes some time getting used to. Indeed, their ability to take care of a Microsoft tablet depends on the application: The Contacts application is as useless as it is messy. We do not understand why we would need to have all their contacts Yes, your Twitter friends as chance, if they wish, in an environment that is difficult to navigate (scroll horizontally only!), Hard to configure (one giant "news service" for all, really?), and difficult to change (merger of contacts and the establishment of "favorites" takes too long).
force Windows applications, both Microsoft and third-oriented elements will be make-or-break underground. At its launch, especially on a screen configuration is more novelty than necessity.
Tool Metro
search, accessible by simply typing something when you look at the main screen of tiles is one of its most attractive features. On Windows Indexing lick now Windows 7 has put to shame.Metro
Organization Metro can be considered a simple start menu, which is, basically, this is because Microsoft has killed the Start menu in Windows Classic desktop mode 8. Ignore all tabs live applications and download and use the default user interface, as an input inflated on the desktop. More or less.Organizer
tiles is as easy as drag columns to new system based on an internal organization we go. That said, it is still annoying that you can not adjust its shape at all, or change its size beyond one of two Microsoft has introduced limits. Microsoft gives you the opportunity to name the columns of chips, but you might miss this feature unless you go hunting (hint: use the bottom right "minus" sign to expand its Metro UI maximum zoom out of sight, and then click a column).By subway, a mosaic is often an application or a shortcut to an application that has nailed the "Home", but it could also be a file, a link or a network resource library to name a few. For any reason, you can not create tables for large "common" Metro interface files as PDF or criticizing a song favorite you want easy access.
the biggest killjoy Windows 8 Metro occurs when you install a new application, for example, the Combined Community Codec Pack. Windows 8 Metro interface for all your start menu. And when an application such as CCC comes with eight or more shortcuts that are otherwise simple links on the menu, they become much heckuva tileset in the metropolitan area. We can count on one hand the number of times I need to delete irrelevant links or unwanted in the classic Windows Start menu. By subway, you will do this a lot, if you're really trying to keep its horizontal interface (ugh) without clutter.
while Metro comes with a number of options to enhance your PC, know that their values ??are somewhat buried your Control Panel-media and can be accessed, even through the Control Panel.
for Microsoft, it's wonderful that you can now just type what you want on the system, applications, Windows elements, the. Subway door of the old familiar Windows Indexing and kicking about five notches. Come in, well, anything, and you'll be able to search for applications that adapt to your application, Windows settings, files, or messages. It may even be a little more specific and search within applications such as Microsoft Store, you already have an idea of ??what you are looking for and where it could be.
Can you ignore the Windows 8 Metro and instead of pretending that it is just a great menu, Start boxy? Yes, thanks in particular to research underground. However, Microsoft still will do everything possible to force Metro throat by the start of this interface by default instead of allowing you to go directly to their desktop. Miss most about your old Windows Start Menu 7? We do.
The differenceMulti-Monitor
In an environment with a single monitor, Metro just does not make much sense. As far as Microsoft is trying to adapt to the square peg in the round hole, Metro is essentially an interface made for tablets, not a monitor. For a couple of monitors, however, Metro is quite ideal combination of a standard Windows 7 desktop and a screen big ol 'you can take a look to see useful information in a blown-up, exaggerated.
In other words, Windows 8 reads much better in a multi-monitor configuration.
We had the pleasure to try Windows 8 in this environment. Better yet, our secondary monitor was a handy-dandy ViewSonic touchscreen monitor (for the full experience of Windows 8 Metro).
Configuration
dual monitors is so easy to do in an environment of Windows 8 and Windows 7. For those who switch to a touch screen, however, will do a bit of jumping around to make sure that your device is properly calibrated for your configuration. And we're not talking about that match your fingers presses that are registered in the panel itself. We had to move to Windows 8 Tablet PC Settings-Control Panel all options to ensure that our fingers to press the issue of the proper allocation of two screens instead of the main screen. This could not be more intuitive Microsoft.new underground multi-monitor support means you will not have to use third party applications to manage most fun parts of a dual screen configuration, such as setting wallpapers wallpapers different (or slides) in each screen.
It's great that we no longer need to use third party applications to stretch a background image on two workstations, grace, new Windows 8 personalization settings. Even better, Windows 8 now allows you to set custom backgrounds or wallpapers for each monitor slides, and you can even go to the taskbar, or hide it, if there is no active applications are open on the screen when you watch.
keyboard shortcuts for windowsflick back and forth between monitors, nothing new for Windows 7 multi-monitor fans. However, what is missing is a way to force Metro to appear on a specific monitor by key combination or better yet, a single monitor set as "default" recipient of any action on the Windows keyboard.
It becomes ugly. Metro will not only appear in any mouse control happens to be hovering over, it would be too easy. Metro appears on the main screen by default.
To run on a second monitor in place, the first place the mouse in the lower left corner of the screen and click on target. After that, metro "bind" Windows key on your monitor so that repeat the process on a different screen.
This is not so bad, right? It becomes ugly. The basic interface Metro is not a single entity but is connected to your system normal operation, so when you click anywhere outside the interface, such as, for example, the Home screen-Metro closes completely. Huh?
must launch an application subway so that "stick" to the second screen. After that, everything fine streaks Metro applications and forth between monitors is as easy as sliding windows desktop is conventional. Metro complement function, or the ability to save an application to Metro on the sidebar. Left or right while running a different application remains in place when switching between screens
We are not sold on the touch screen controls Windows 8, primarily because Microsoft made the least possible to explain what they are, and Windows 8 is not as intuitive. Second, because we really dig into the box to activate several Metro "hot corners", including the options panel to pull up from the bottom of the screen for Metro applications, the right sidebar charms, and the left hand box selector app. It would have been a great gesture if Microsoft gave users the ability to adjust the size and sensitivity of hot spots on your screen. But, hey, at least on Windows 8 now supports multitouch gestures on touchpads. Huh?
This picture shows an experiment Metro ideal easy to understand (and, ideally, touch) Metro applications on one screen in combination with the standard Windows 7 desktop to the rigor as the main entrance. In other words, the subway is better as a condiment than as the main ingredient of the dish of Windows 8.
other significant inconvenience associated with a dual monitor setup is not possible to ignore the Windows 8 details at inopportune moments. Because Windows 8 is a tap like a mouse, a game in full screen on one monitor while trying to exploit your way to e-mail or news about monitors display two Metro minimizes their game and returned office on the monitor of the UN.
specific problem? Yes, but the metro is screaming for a hassle free solution ..
