Will Window 8 become another Window vista?

According to foreign media reports, Microsoft Windows operating system release date approaches, the number of people in the industry recently pointed out, Windows 8 after the listing is likely prospects for the future, and may become another "Vista" (Note: Microsoft's Windows 7 before the name of the operating system), and the market suffered may be even worse than Vista.

These are not optimistic reviews from people in the industry on Windows 8 ,they believe that either from the user interface or specific performance point of view, the operating system, there are many inadequacies.

Leading U.S. IT online magazine Slate technology columnist Farhad Man Yueao Farhad Manjoo recently wrote an article, said: "I tried Windows 8 experience to see, I feel like I am very confused and helpless, I had to change I usually write the article in the use of computers habit. "

Well-known IT critic John Dvorak, John the Dvorak published an article saying: "In my opinion, for Microsoft Windows 8 will absolutely be a disaster, the operating system will be detrimental to Microsoft's interests in the U.S. financial site MarketWatch and the company's prospects for development ... Windows 8 real question is: can not be used, and boring. "

To focus exclusively on the Microsoft development trends of industry analyst Matt Rosoff (Matt Rosoff,) also said: "I still think Windows 8 people puzzled and difficult to use ... with some test Windows for several months. a long time people started a conversation, which many people like me view Windows 8 beta after each upgrade, the situation has become even worse, rather than towards a better direction. "But Rosoff Windows 8 will not make Microsoft into a disaster, because of good market performance of Microsoft's other business units.

Another Vista

The industry believes that Windows 8 performance as analysts pointed out the poor, and Microsoft is sure will bring huge negative impact such as the decline in Microsoft's market value, Windows will gradually lose the advantage in the global operating system market.

Is worth noting that, when the original Microsoft Vista experience market snubbed of Apple's offensive is not so great. Now have been very different: the Apple iPad to take advantage of the Tablet PC field, and if Windows 8 performance is poor, then Apple will win.

Microsoft to launch Windows 8 one of the important purpose is to please the average consumer, because a large number of ordinary consumers are turning to the use of Apple and Google services. However, if Windows 8 performance will be subject to the ordinary consumer the cold shoulder. As a result, these consumers will choose to abandon the purchase of new laptops and desktops running Windows 8.

The reason why consumers can make that choice, the other reason is that they can purchase prices as low as $ 400 iPad, this product has been able to meet the daily needs of consumers, such as e-mail, browse the Internet, log on Facebook, play games, watch videos, and other activities.

If consumers need a full-featured computer, their existing computer can be used occasionally to handle large tasks, such as sending and receiving large amounts of e-mail, word processing and other tasks. But the rest is not onerous task entirely to the the iPad processing.

This lasted for two years, if the consumers of the existing old computer, it has been unusable, consumers will have more options: First, Microsoft's Windows performance improvements; iPad performance will be more powerful; Apple Mac machines more attractive.

Of course, predicted that Windows would lose the operating system market advantage to be premature. After all, over the years the vast majority of consumers have become accustomed to using Windows. On the other hand, Microsoft's comprehensive strength is still quite a lot, and the company's ability to recover is also very powerful.

But no matter what, so far, Apple has been in the operating system war to occupy a more initiative. Trade on Windows 8 performance micro speech, Microsoft should arouse sufficient vigilance.
