The most disorienting factor, in my experience, is the switch from the Start menu in Windows 7 and earlier to the Start screen in Windows 8.

So, in the spirit of sharing, let me tell you about some of the things I’ve discovered about Windows 8 so far. But after some time I’ve finally begun to settle into a rhythm and figure out why the new user interface works the way it does. This system is on my desktop, and I’ve been switching between it and my main Windows 7 box (a newer i5 desktop) for the past couple days.Īfter using the tablet hardware for a week, I struggled initially with this desktop installation, which has a keyboard and mouse but no touchscreen. Finally, I have a year-old Dell desktop with an i7 processor, 10 GB of RAM, and a swift SATA 3 SSD.Aside from those caveats, it works very well indeed. In addition, it supports single-touch input only, which means that pinch zooming and some of the cooler sample apps (Piano and PaintPlay, for example) don’t work. This all-in-one system has a touchscreen with a fairly large bezel that makes some of the edge-swiping techniques tricky. The second system is a Dell Studio One 1909.The XT2 is not on Microsoft’s list of touchscreen systems, and in my case a problem with the digitizer makes the system literally unusable under Windows 8. Alas, it’s been a complete washout as far as Windows 8 is concerned. I had high hopes for this device, which has a touchscreen and a 256GB SSD and has generally been a reliable performer for me. I returned that hardware to Microsoft before leaving Anaheim, and the first thing I did when I got back in the office on Friday was to begin installing the OS on a handful of computers that I had set aside to be sacrificial lambs. Last week, I had a chance to play with the Windows Developer Preview (curiously, there’s no 8 in that name-did you notice?). In this post, I want to talk about Windows 8 at a slightly higher level. I’ve put together a gallery showing some Windows 8 shortcuts and secrets that you definitely need to know about. The good news is that the “Where did everything go?” feeling vanishes pretty quickly once you learn a few basic techniques (and unlearn some familiar habits). That can be a bit disorienting at first, as you try to adjust to a new way of doing things. But it also means a lot of non-developers are experimenting with an incomplete operating system that hasn’t been polished for a mainstream audience yet.Īs I noted in my first look last week, Windows 8 introduces some fundamental changes to the way familiar actions work. That’s a tremendous amount of interest for a product that is probably a year away from shipping. Roughly a million people have downloaded the Windows Developer Preview that Microsoft released publicly at the opening of its BUILD Conference last week.įor Microsoft, that’s good news and bad news.
