4 Simple Reasons Why Windows 9 Will Be A Big Hit Like Windows 7
http://www.intowindows.com/4-simple-reasons-why-windows-9-will-be-like-windows-7/
and here I comment for the items in the link above:
1-Start menu is returning:
Its OK, but users should be able to completely turn off or uninstall any metro UI tiles and its functions, features in the upcoming start menu.
It’s good that you can remove metro apps from the start menu. It would be even better to be able to remove them from the OS though.
Metro UI in Windows 10:
"
Metro UI should be optional. I never ever use Metro UI on my computers on windows 8. I never ever use it on my PC (except to add Bluetooth devices, because there is no other way), and not anymore on my Surface Pro, despite it being a tablet. Such a low-density UI is not appropriate for any serious usage, and MS should have let users choose not to install it altogether.
Apart from that, I must say it’s a pretty good OS this Windows 8 : Better frame-rate in games and overall performance, very stable, nice new task manager and file copy dialogs, BitLocker not needing a TPM to run anymore, make it a very good system. But users focus on the Metro UI problem (though they can avoid it altogether), which makes the switch difficult for them.
Releasing different SKUs is the idea they should have gone with from the start (desktop only for mouse-keyboard computers, both UIs for tablets such as the Surface Pro, and Metro only for low-end, cheap ARM tablets).I sure do hope they stick to that idea, because all the Metro/Modern UI takes space on the drive and makes the whole system more complex for nothing, at least for me who don't use it at all.(plus it's super annoying to have metro UI pop, for example, when searching for Bluetooth devices. Why ?)
2-Modern apps can be run just like traditional programs.
Desktop users do not need to have modern apps in Desktop environment. Please consider an option to disable or remove having modernUI apps or Windows Store apps in Desktop environment.
About number 4 in the link above which says
Start screen is not coming for desktop users:
Yes the improved Start Screen in Windows 8.1 Update1, offers more features than the Start menu in Windows 7.
Its good to know that in Windows 9, the Start screen will likely appear only if the Windows is installed on a computer that supports touch.
Search function in Start Screen in Windows 8.1 Update1 is indeed great.
Store apps in Start Menu or Desktop:
IMO, app store = USELESS on a PC (there is already the whole internet, why would one want to restrict himself to an app store.....)
The Microsoft store seems to be getting more intrusive too. I don't want a shop, I want an OS!
Metro apps, Metro UI and the app store are completely useless on a production machine, if you intend to do anything serious on it. A single-window, low density user interface is not appropriate for complex tasks such as photo or video editing, development, CGI, etc. It’s only useful for casual users.
It should be an option to disable it altogether if one doesn’t plan to use it, to save disk space.
The notification center:
The notification center which is not available in this technical build, seems like an improvement from the windows 8 version, tidier and more easily accessible. But still, notifications are pretty useless to me. I don’t see them very often since I don’t use social networks, the only ones I receive are when :
·I install a new application that handles a certain type of file, so it prompts me what application to use to open, say, a jpeg image
·I connect a BitLocker-to-go encrypted memory card or USB stick, so I can enter the password. But if I miss the notification, it pops un when I try to access the volume anyway.
So notifications are, again, a bit of Metro UI they try to unite with the desktop environment, despite it being pretty useless to people who actually use the desktop environment. It’s good they improve them, but if it were me, I’d disable them altogether
(just like virtual desktops. I’ve tried them on mac and linux, and wasn’t convinced. Basically alt-tabbing windows is just as convenient, and virtual desktops add another layer of switching which confuses me : instead of switching between windows you can switch between windows OR desktops, for basically the same purpose : displaying a window or another. But I guess that’s a marketing answer to people saying “look, Mac OS has virtual desktops and Windows hasn’t !”)
LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST,
make a full retail boxed version of the OS in release time, not just as a free upgrade for Win 8.1 users. [Windows 9 said to be free (again), this time by a Microsoft official - Neowin](
