Not Unlike Previous Versions Of The Ubiquitous Microsoft Desktop Operating System, Windows 8 Has Faced A Lot Of Control In The Year That Was Available. Whenever The Company Has Made A Radical Change In Windows, Was On The Losing Side In The Opinion Of The User. Windows 8 Was Not Different.
Microsoft Was In Trouble After The Release Of Windows 7. Fight For Their Relevance In The Mobile Sector, The Company Has Tried To Fill The Gap In Its Portfolio By Adding A Contact Layer Interface Easy On The Windows Desktop. However, Metro Has Come Up With A Variety Of Issues And Complaints, Mainly Due To Poor Design Decisions Friendliness - Part Of What We've Been Waiting For Microsoft To Fix Windows 8.1. Y Is, To Some Extent.
Despite This And The Fact That The Change In A Single Year For Any Iteration Of Windows Is Fast For People To Redmond, We Do Not Know If This Is Enough To Please The Critics. Before Installing The Free Update Next Thursday, We Will Review What Has Improved And What Remains.
Windows Search Is Much Improved!
When I Looked At It's Broken Criticized Windows 8 Research Because It Does Not Make Sense To Separate The Parameters If The Research Was Designed To Be Used As A Keyboard Launcher Documents. Windows 8.1 Can Fix This Problem With Universal Search That Works Well Most Of The Time, Including Some Of The Features Of Semantic Search (Queries Do Not Have To Be The Exact Keyword). However, If You Use OS X, You'll Notice Mac Retains The Lead With More Consistent And Useful Results. For Example, OS X Can Remember Your Preferences For A Previous Consultation And Make Them More Important In Future Research With Fewer Keystrokes.
The Start Button Is Back
As You Read Dozens Of Times Now, It's Just The Button, Not The Menu, But The Menu On The Right Practice With User Settings For Power And Shortcuts Is Always Present. Back To The Start Button Is A Positive Change And Works Best When The Screen With The Most Used Applications And Shortcuts Are Configured. However ...
The Start Screen Is Always A Pain To Configure The Use Of A Mouse
Although The Addition Of Tiles, Large And Small Improves The Overall Experience Compared To What We Have In Windows 8, The Home Screen Can Be Handled Fluidly Again If You Want To Add, Move Or Remove Tiles. Newly Installed Programs Are Not Added Automatically, Which Can Be Both Good And Bad Start, But Without A Good Integration Of The Interior And Desktop Applications, The Interaction Between The Two Is Still Broken.
The Screen: All Programs
Microsoft's Response To The Divorce Between Desktop Applications And Start Tile Screen Is The "All Programs", Which I Find Horrible To Navigate Because It Is Packed With Many Redundant Shortcuts To Help Files, Uninstall, Readme Files And Other Nonsense. It Feels Like You Scroll Through Each Shortcut In The Programs Menu Of Age.
Shared Background On The Desktop Screen And Metro User Interface
It's A Shame That Microsoft Does Not, The Default Setting, Because It Represents A Major Improvement In The Way Underground And Office Mix. The Interface Of The "Modern" User Has Been Forced To Windows 8, And This Is Why Many People Have Avoided Os. The Design Languages are Very Different And Not Coexist Amicably Is Something That Microsoft Has Not Fully Understood, But The Wallpaper Integration Is Only 8.1 Worth Installing.
Bonus
The Ugly Flower Wallpaper Is No Longer The Default :-P
Start On The Desktop And Configurable Hot Spots
Thank You, Microsoft. You Now Have The Ability To Boot Directly To The Desktop, Even If It Is Not A Major Adjustment, Which Is Accessible From The Properties Of The Taskbar. Hot Corners Can Be Turned Off Which Makes Sense If You Are An Advanced User Office With Multiple Monitors. The Amendment Allows Metro Forget If You Want To See.
Hot Corners Still Enforced In Other Areas
Personally, I Have Disabled All But Charms Hot Corners. I Also Hate Spells, Or Rather Seems To Me Nothing To My Way Of Working. It Would Have Been A Welcome Improvement To Detect If You Are Using A Desktop, Laptop Or Tablet And Display Relevant Contextual Menus. Microsoft Seriously, How Hard It Can Be? Example: Show Progress In The Integration Of A PC Network Options, Including Settings On The Control Panel Show Shine In A Tablet/Laptop, Disable The "Share" When You're Not In A Metro Application, And So On.
Greatly Improved Default Metro Apps And Help
The Application Provides A New Way Skydrive Explorer-esque Metro UI To Manage Files. Skype Looks Great And Replaces The Old Messaging Application. Email Is Also Better, But Still Very Limited. In Addition, A Greater Variety Of Options You Get In The Settings Menu And Many Visual Aids That Explain How To Circumvent The Operating System. The Last Two Results In A More User-Friendly To Configure And Use A PC With Windows 8 For The Less Experienced User Form.
The Default File Associations For Metro Applications
Metro Applications Are Set By Default To Open PDF Files, Images, And Other Popular File Formats, Even If They Are Not Optimized For Mouse Navigation, Usually Can Not Manipulate (Copy, Paste, Print, Move Windows) And It Is Not Intuitive To Bounce In And Out Of Metro To Do The Actual Work.
Solution
As With Windows 8: Install And Configure Your Favorite Desktop Applications Like The New Default Settings. Even The Integrated Desktop Windows Programs Will Work. While Annoying To Have To Put In Place, Mark My Words, The Loss Of A File Format And I Hate Windows 8 A Little More Each Time Obliges Back To A Vanilla Implementation Metro.
Installing High Quality Applications From The Windows Store
Windows Store Looks Great In Its Current Iteration. When It Works Well (e.g Halo Spartan), The Installation Of Applications From The Store Feels Magical. It Is As If The PC Has Been Designed To Work Well. Two Clicks And Boom, You're Running Your Program Again.
If You Selected A Great Demand, Download Will Start In The Background. A Subtle Notification State Tell You When The Program Is Downloading, Installation And Ready To Go. Choose To Run The Newly Installed From The Notification Program And Will Launch The New Application In A Smooth Visual Transition. As I Said, Magic.
All These Metro Apps That Have No Reason To Be
"When It Works" Is The Key Phrase Here. A Profound Change Is Necessary If We Never See Metro To Be As Powerful And Useful As The Desk. Most Applications That Belong To A Web Service Offers A Less Experienced Than Their Browser-based Counterparts. Sometimes Applications Are Not Official, And Microsoft Is Not Doing Enough To Clean Up The Mess (For Example, There Are Several Unofficial Apps Youtube And Some Shade).
