Windows 10 test: reconciliation? – Clubic

Three years after Windows 8, Microsoft Windows 10 launches this summer, its new operating system. A long-awaited system at a halt by PC users somewhat stung by a Windows 8 too destabilizing.

Windows 10 actually takes the opposite view Windows 8 and devotes the return of the start menu, in one form, we shall see, somewhat unusual, as large sections of the Metro interface are being rebu. Get ready to say goodbye and PC at the helm of the charms or the full-screen interface “start” of Metro and its gaudy and colorful tiles.

As with Windows 10, codenamed Threshold, Microsoft again we hit Windows 7, that of the brand that listens to its customers to give them what they want. Windows 7 was your idea … Windows 10 will be too somehow. Beyond the major ergonomic changes, Windows 10 is also an opportunity for the publisher to unify its platforms between PC and mobile phone. Windows 10 as he shared interface elements with Windows Mobile 10 will happen later on Lumia smartphones from Microsoft. And the arrival of universal apps promises developers to produce a single software that will run equally well on Windows 10 PCs, tablets and smartphones.

Most importantly, Windows 10 back t be it Windows that we want to install on the machine rather than the one you suffered? Satya Nadella, new CEO of Microsoft, he will manage to make us love Windows again? For it is in these words that the new leader spoke again recently on the subject. And Windows 10 is it compelling enough for Microsoft to reach its goal of one billion Windows 10 machines in two or three years?


When Microsoft launches Windows 8 in 2012, the brand is well aware that their choices are and will clivants. Ballmer also refers to the time the new operating system betting on the future. A bet that aimed to put Windows at the heart of digital uses by designing the operating system especially for tablets. Because the context has chaired the launch of Windows 8 in 2012 is finally similar to that which can be done in summer 2015 for Microsoft. PC sales, pre historic market square of the brand, at half-mast while Microsoft has suffered many setbacks in the mobility market. What was true in 2012 has unfortunately not improved in 2015 …

Windows 8 Microsoft has therefore not helped to redress the balance. It’s quite the opposite, since wanting to reconcile the irreconcilable, Microsoft around Windows 8 crystallized many critics. So much so that Windows 8 has become a second for Microsoft Windows Vista, less than five years after the dismal failure of this misunderstood and unloved version of Windows. The removal of the Start menu and rigidity of the Metro interface have been two tragic mistakes of Windows 8. With superior user base to a billion people around the world, the slightest change in ergonomics can cause Windows to ‘Homeric raising shields. Microsoft has learned the hard way.

Of course, following the launch of Windows 8, Microsoft has had to have a reason and listen to the criticism that Steven Sinofsky, in a hint Jobsienne , was completely gagged. Result: a few days after the global launch of Windows 8, Sinofsky, almighty boss of the Windows Division is put out. That’s when Julie Larson Green, who takes over and begins to repair errors with Windows 8.1 and Windows 8.1 Update pending the growing rank of Terry Myerson, who presides over the launch of Windows 10. Meanwhile, Ballmer is in went to basketball while Satya Nadella took over the reins of the company. An upheaval.

It should be said that Microsoft are not really his punches. Not content with alienating users, the publisher has increasingly drawn the ire of its partners. In announcing the surprise launch a range of tablets, and becoming so computer manufacturer with Surface, Microsoft has somewhat annoyed the major players in its ecosystem. Partners who felt betrayed literally discovering the existence area some time before the release of Windows 8.

With Windows 10, Microsoft hopes to convince users of the merits of its new operating system but also its partners. For if the adventure area had merit, it will have been the one to show it was possible to make money with a high-end device thoughtful meet user expectations. In this sense Microsoft has led the way for the class of 2-in-1 in 2015 eclipsed the dream of Intel ultrabook.

The question is whether Windows 10 will live! Because the task is not easy: Windows 10 must at once appeal to existing Windows users and reconcile the many disappointed Windows 8. Just to give a chance, the Microsoft marketing machine is in the unique: offering the free upgrade to Windows 10 in the first year with Windows 7 and Windows 8. What users quickly reach the coveted billion users?
