The first tastings in the course of Build 2014, the event will gather as usual Galaxy Windows developers at the Moscone Center in San Francisco (April 2 to 4). Then launch the final version in April 2015. These steps, says the well-known blogger Paul Thurrot of SuperSite for Windows, which should accompany the debut of “Threshold”, the new operating system for tablet PCs and Microsoft. That pretty much everyone has already dubbed Windows 9.
There are no canons of officialdom, it is therefore likely that in less than three three months we will look closely at the evolution of the latest operating system from Microsoft animated tile, which will be unveiled in pre-alpha release and made available writer software. Some rumors speculate in fact the arrival of a further upgrade to Windows 8, and not a new platform update focused on tighter integration environment pc, mobile platform (Windows Phone) and one for the game (Xbox One). It is certain that in Redmond have decided not to sit with folded hands to shake the feeling of the users, never too enthusiastic (indeed) the arrival of Windows 8 and his first successor, version 8.1, which is coming more and in April, the first service pack (the GDR update 1) with new integrated functionality.
Microsoft, in essence, has decided to speed up the agenda of the rich and new releases also found a place waiting incremental release 8.1 Windows Phone, the availability of which is also fixed for the beginning of spring, when it will end definitively support Windows XP and one for Security Essential, the free antivirus from Microsoft.
Objective: to win back users. Back to the “Start ”
The feeling of some insiders is that the American society is faced with a new crossroads. The prolonged crisis of the popularity of tablet PCs and is putting pressure on Microsoft, so far unable to ride properly with your operating system of the computing revolution touch and play a leading role in the so-called post PC. Keep still in the drawer version of the Office suite for Android, in this sense, it is perhaps a mistake of strategy is not very indifferent and that is weighing.
The question is then natural? He will know the new Windows conquer the liking of consumers and professionals, simple computer users and geeks? Some speak of the need to win back users after the shy impact recorded by Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 and perhaps the reality is this. Yeah, but how to win them back?
Microsoft, for one thing, recur in the new system the old “Start” button, just closer to the idea of ??Windows computing the general public. The idea of ??proposing, Otto, on laptops and desktop interface typical of smartphones and tablets has not paid, resulting in often fierce criticism even by users. Not surprisingly, the version of Windows 8 is not compatible with older Windows applications and designed on Arm processor architecture, Rt, it could be at the end of the race as part of the announcement of the new platforms.
virtually taken for granted in Windows 9x, also, is the most closely related to the content and services of the Xbox (and more specifically the ‘hub Xbox one), with a view to merging more and more marked between the two worlds, the world of computing and that of gaming. In a sign of the app. Microsoft aims in other words to give life to a unique ecosystem to hold on users who gravitate to Windows, just like they do for Apple iOS and Google Android.
“Threshold”, this one of the items which winds from time, it should also occur with a new user interface. The app can be downloaded from the Windows Store and displayed on the screen in the form of animated tile in Windows 8 that will run in a window, just like those made for the traditional desktop.
In other words, when you use a tablet Windows 9 will appeal to the user interface with the Start Screen menu and apps full screen introduced with Windows 8, a desktop or a notebook instead will return to a mode of use of the computer very close to that of pc 90s. All mixed up with processors that will almost certainly only Intel Atom for tablets and Core family for PCs. The battle over the PC with Android
How Microsoft will change the software than Windows 8, as regards its logical operational and functional, it is not yet clear. The hypothesis that Redmond wants to look beyond the PC (and tablets) to bring the new Windows in all environments and all connected devices (appliances up to the car to gasdget wearable tech) is certainly not out of place. In this context, however, weighs the failure of the attempt to release the software from x86 technology with the tablet Windows Rt, beginning with the one in their own brand, Surface. There is a possible future of Windows on Arm? We do not know.
Google, and the latest edition of the CES in Las Vegas has proven, meanwhile, is bringing Android much farther than anyone could have expected. And unseat from environments where it is rooted and is taking root (mobile, automotive, TV, wereable device) will not be easy for the new Windows.
