心得分享-Windows 8开发者预览版的安装卸载
心得分享:Windows 8开发者预览版的安装卸载导读:在Windows 8中,微软希望能为用户提供始终如一的流畅体验,在系统安装与恢复方面同样如此.很多新用户不相信,认为目前该预览版是不能卸载的,告诉你,你落伍了,今天就与大家一起分享下Windows 8开发者预览版安装卸载不一般的体验.我本是个很本分的人,但是人性中对美好的最求又往往使我变得很不本分,例如对电脑的配置要求及美观和舒适往往使我费尽心思。
在过去的日子里,各种尝试使得我平均每个月要重装两三次系统,而且由于每次对电脑的状态不很满意我从不备份,所以每次重装系统包括修复、破解、插件安装等等都需要冗长的操作和枯燥的等待,要恢复到基本满意的状态,根本没耐心一气做成,所以一个重装过程往往需要两三天时间。
虽然这很费事,但每次都会感觉很享受,毕竟是一个没人指导的初学者的成长历程。
最近的一次安装Win8开发者预览版更是一次难忘的经历。
系统和汉化包是在Win8之家下载的,可以通过win7直接升级,能保留原来的硬件驱动和文档,看到网站一再警告此系统的不完善我这次还是先用一键还原备了份,后来发现这一步真是至关重要。
五点半下班吃了饭,我迫不及待的坐到电脑旁开始安装,也就是通过一个镜像文件升级,升级过程全是英文,我的英文很差,但是经过以前无数次的折腾,需要手动引导时还是基本能看懂,遇到不敢确定的时候就用手机词霸反复确定,唯恐弄错一步而导致前功尽弃,几次重启的期待和焦虑,仿佛是把我的心放在油锅里反复煎炒,最后一次终于看到了Administrator welcome ,虽然还在等待进入桌面,我已经忍不住从椅子上跳起来手舞足蹈、大声欢呼!进入桌面是一个完全陌生的界面,有很多的方块,下面还有一个滑块,试着点击了几个方块,方块变成全屏后等待很久都没有下一步反应,还好,按下esc 后就会缩回去,资源管理器在此界面却一直找不到,点击ie方块后麻烦来了,浏览器居然没有关闭等按钮,按下ait加f4也不能关闭,最后按键盘微软图标ie 界面才从桌面消失,出现了熟悉的windows桌面,但桌面上没有任何快捷方式,我习惯性的去点击左下角的微软徽标,企图在此找到资源管理器,没想又回到了最初的界面,但这次我发现了刚才桌面的墙纸方块,点击后又回到了传统桌面,并在任务栏看到了资源管理器。
Windows 8 Trainning Content Session 9 Windows 8 应用开发规划
Windows 8应用开发规划一.课程目标:通过这一节课,可以使听众了解到一个Windows 8 Style应用是如何从规划到成型的,并使其学会如何对Windows 8 Style应用的用户体验(UX) 设计进行评估和改进。
二.大纲:1.前期规划2.赚钱规划3.质量和认证规划4.不同外观规格规划5.品牌规划6.针对全球市场进行设计7.辅助功能设计8.评估可用性(一).前期规划1.决定应用的优势所在你的应用针对的是什么?从广泛的概念开始并列出你希望用你的应用帮助用户完成的所有事情。
你的应用擅长是什么?退后一步查看你的创意列表,看特定的方案是否的确引入注目。
从列表中逐条删减创意,最后留下你希望重点关注的一个方案。
在此过程中,你可能舍弃大量不错的创意,但是这种否定对于最终选定一个最佳方案至关重要。
2.决定要支持的用户活动流程是指用户使用你的应用来实现目标而进行的一系列相关的互动。
每个流程都应当紧密绑定到你的“擅长”语句,而且应当帮助用户实现你希望实现的单个方案。
好的应用的流程通常易于了解,且所需交互最少执行此步骤的常见方法概括流程:第一步做什么,接下来做什么?细化流程:用户应如何使用应用的用户界面来完成流程?原型:通过快速原型对流程进行试验。
用户应当能够执行什么操作?备注:例如,旅行应用“擅长帮助朋友以协作方式为团队旅行创建旅行计划”。
下面列出了你希望实现的流程:创建包含常规信息的旅行行程。
邀请朋友一同旅行。
参与朋友的旅行。
查看其他游客推荐的行程。
向旅行添加目的地和活动。
编辑朋友添加的目的地和活动并对它们添加注释。
共享朋友与家人使用的行程。
3决定要包含的功能( 1 )在了解用户需求并且知道如何帮助他们满足其需求之后,你可以了解工具箱中的特定工具。
研究Windows 平台并将其功能与你的应用的需求相关联。
确保按照每项功能的用户体验(UX) 指南执行操作。
决定要包含的功能(2).常用技巧:平台搜索:了解平台提供的功能及其使用方法。
Windows 8的开发者预览版本(Developer Preview),
一开始微软说直接出公测版的但是经过不断的跳票。
搞出了个预览版。
虽然微微有点不爽。
还是第一时间下载下来尝鲜。
虚拟机安装的问题。
我觉得太卡了。
毕竟相当于机器同时运行两个操作系统。
so~~果断双系统啊。
反正过段时间出公测版乃至正式版的时候也得安。
说说WIN 8系统的新界面:Metro主界面大家可以看到是由好多矩形图标整齐排列的~~其中最左面的包括。
桌面,资源管理器,IE 10,还有RSS,天气,EMAIL等常用工具。
这个时候如果是平板的话你可以用手将屏幕向左拨。
就会出现右面的图标。
当然我们用的笔记本所以~~用鼠标将下面的滚动条向右拨。
或者滚动鼠标滚轮也会达到同样的效果。
接下来看到的这些大多是微软新开发的小软件。
但是蛋疼的是好多小游戏是用触屏操作的~~所以好多游戏根本玩不了。
右上角的xiaoyi1913是我的用户名。
单击会出现熟悉的~切换用户,锁定,注销,添加用户的操作。
这个和WIN7的顺序都是一样的。
新的系统和传统的开始菜单有很大区别。
徽标键已经不能成为开始菜单的标志了。
运行开始菜单需要将鼠标移到左下角就会出现如图的效果。
右面还有人性化的放大时间和网络,电池的标识大家知道以往系统都是在开始菜单里关机。
那么新系统呢也不例外。
开始菜单里的第一项settings如下图所示settings里面会从右面出来一个菜单。
包括网络,电源指示,屏幕亮度还有关机指示,单击它会出现睡眠,关机和重启大家一定要记得用好Win键,这个键盘上的Win键的功能,缺了它,操控会变得很难用。
例如:当你想从带任务栏的经典Windows桌面界面下切换到Metro UI的时候,你只要轻轻按下Win键;例如:当你想从Metro界面快速到经典任务栏界面的时候,你只要轻轻按下Win+D;例如:想快速搜索硬盘文件么?按下Win键+F;想快速搜索应用?按下Win键+Q想快速搜索设置?按下Win键+W快速切换屏幕?Win键+P快速打开运行?Win键+R说下资源管理器。

虚拟机安装w8
【IT168 技术】小女子也是一个技术人,热情关注IT业内的那些人和事。
北京时间2月29日22时-24时,当地时间15-17时。
微软在西班牙巴塞罗那2012年世界移动通信大会上发布其下一代操作系统Windows 8消费者预览版,也称为beta测试版。
首日的下载量就突破50万。
虽然这是一个被阉割过的windows8版本,但喜新厌旧的我还是迫不急待希望尝尝鲜!但为了安全起见,还是在先在虚拟机上安装一把。
本文章将详细解决在安装过程中所遇到的问题,并在安装之后,给出Windows8所占用的磁盘、内存、CPU等资源信息。
还有大家要做好一个心理准备,Windows8的风格将挑战一部分老用户的使用习惯,例如,我在安装完成后,就没有找到关机在哪儿,唉,丢人呀!软件准备:1. Windows8的安装文件下载下载地址:/en-US/windows-8/iso当然也有其他下载地址,也可使用。
2. Vmware8.0的下载为什么要用Vmware8.0呢?本人的机器上原来安装的是7.1,但满情信心等待惊心动魄的安装界面出来的时候,突然杯具了:▲Windows8安装时的错误提示这是怎么回事?竟然告诉本姑娘,硬件抽象层错误。
但一问别人,在物理机上安装是正常的。
难道是我的硬件不行,这也不可能呀,这可能刚买不久的新电脑。
那就只有一个可能了。
就是虚拟机的版本太低。
所以只能先卸载现有的版本,如下图所示:▲卸载旧版本然后到vmware官方网站去下载最新的Vmware Workstation 8 .0 build 471780。
下载地址:/cn/d/info/desktop_end_user_computing /vmware_workstation/8_0但注意,在官网下载是需要注册的,然后找一个注册码即可。
如果没有的,可以联系在下。
Vmware8.0安装:双击安装文件:▲vmware 8.0安装界面还是挺漂漂的,稍等片刻之后,点击:NEXT,出现以下界面:▲选择安装模式剩下的,本姑娘就不多说了,谁让咱们都是技术人呢!▲界面漂亮启动之后,发现,界面真不错,再次夸奖一下。
windows8简介
Windows 8.1升级方法及系统需求一、Win8用户通过Windows Store更新至Win8.1预览版:1、当微软发布Windows 8.1预览版之时,Win8用户会先收到Windows Update的更新通知,点击通知后再转到Windows Store中关于Win8.1的描述、下载页面,用户此时可决定是否升级。
提醒:如果你通过 Windows 应用商店安装 Windows 8.1 Preview,则不需要产品密钥。
如果你下载 ISO,则需要输入此产品密钥:NTTX3-RV7VB-T7X7F-WQYYY-9Y92F。
2、在Windows Store中启动Windows 8.1 Preview的下载来获取更新。
该过程和Windows Store应用更新相似,安装过程中会有“取消”的选项。
3、升级的第一部分完成时,用户将会看到要求重启电脑的系统通知。
自然也会有重启倒计时的提醒。
4、重启之后,迎来的便是Windows安装界面。
5、下一步是用户许可条款,“接受”吧。
6、下一步是OOBE(Out of Box Experience)系统初始设置流程,和Win8安装过程中的个性化/设置流程一样。
7、最后一步,登陆Windows。
二、通过Windows 8.1 Preview ISO镜像安装1、当前Win8系统语言不在Windows 8.1 Preview 所支持的13种语言之内的用户,需通过ISO镜像安装。
2、如果你是Win8企业版用户,也需要通过Windows 8.1 Preview ISO镜像来安装。
Windows 8.1 Preview 系统需求:•处理器:1 GHz 或更快•RAM:1 GB RAM(32 位)或 2 GB RAM(64 位)•硬盘空间:16 GB(32 位)或 20 GB(64 位)•图形卡/显卡:带有 WDDM 驱动程序的 Microsoft DirectX 9 图形设备注意:Windows RT 8.1预览版需要一台Windows RT设备,同时需要10GB可用存储空间。
虚拟机安装Windows8开发者预览版完全攻略
Win8之家():虚拟机安装Windows8/Win8开发者预览版完全攻略文雨这几天备受煎熬,大三刚刚开学,一连串的补考(嘿嘿~),一连串的项目,接着便是感冒,倒下。
正在此时Windows 8 Build 8102于国内时间9月14日上午8点45分左右全球发布下载(此时感冒卧床),据说目前已经下载达50万次。
这几天也慕名读了些关于虚拟机安装Windows8/Win8的文章,好多人反应实验失败。
按照惯例,先给出虚拟机安装Windows8/Win8开发者预览版完全攻略,文章结尾给予安装失败的解释说明。
今天文雨以Windows Developer Preview English, 32-bit (x86)(此版本是不带开发者工具的Win8 32位版本)的版本为例向大家演示虚拟主机安装Windows8/Win8开发者预览版本完全攻略。
虚拟机软件很多,但目前能跑Windows8的貌似只有VirtualBox,所以以VirtualBox软件为工具。
一、准备工作1、Windows 8 原版光盘镜像:Windows8 开发者预览版下载(微软官方原版)一般用户下载最后一个版本2、Oracle VirtualBox(甲骨文的虚拟机):VirtualBox官方下载网页(页面里面的下载链接是多国语言版,含简体中文),本例中使用的版本为4.1.2为例(备注:据说VirtualBox 4.06 和4.012 全部测试通过)。
或者来这里下载:VirtualBox-4.0.12版本下载VirtualBox-4.1.2版本下载二、注意事项1、安装VirtualBox:如果您登陆Windows的用户名是中文,可能会在安装VirtualBox 的时候发生故障,请参阅:《Win7下安装VirtualBox,系统找不到指定的路径?》一文。
关于VirtualBox 的具体安装步骤,本文不详细说明了,一步一步非常简单。
不懂的地方就点击确定确定……2、很多友友安装时有些疑问,从头到尾都是英语,俺不认识洋文啊。
Windows 8 Consumer Preview 安装全过程
Windows 8 Consumer Preview 安装全过程在 Windows XP 和更早的 Windows 版本,安装方式非常的钝,将存档的文件慢慢复制到磁盘,然后解档,完成整个过程需要差不多一个小时。
当到Vista和Windows 7时代,Windows安装程序得到了明显的改进,整个安装过程仅仅需要20余分钟。
不过,微软并不满足于此,Windows 8的安装步骤进一步改进,精简安装步骤。
就Windows 8 消费者预览版的安装来看,与 Windows 7 的安装对比,Windows 8采用了全新安装安装体验。
除了一些配色方案的更改,您将注意Windows 8 安装程序支持更多的设备,支持多点触控界面工作。
也就是说,你可以在一体机和平板电脑上安装 Windows 8,并且不需要使用键盘或鼠标。
安装Windows 8 Consumer Preview前,你首先需要下载Windows 8 Consumer Preview ISO光盘镜像。
下面让我们一起来体验Windows 8整个安装过程:预先安装环境加载:这里你将会看到新的启动LogoWindows 8安装:Step 1:安装程序会要求您选择语言、时间和货币格式,键盘或输入法。
Step 2:点击Install(安装)继续。
(或单击”Repair Your Computer(修复您的计算机)”触发新的和增强的恢复工具。
)Step 3:输入产品密钥激活Windows 8,在这里你需要输入25位产品密钥来继续安装Windows 8。
(微软官方提供的Windows 8 Consumer Preview的激活密钥:NF32V-Q9P3W-7DR7Y-JGWRW-JFCK8)。
Step 4:你需要同意License terms(许可证条款)才可以进一步安装Windows 8,这些条款包括Windows 8、示例应用程序和 Windows Live 应用程序。

Windows8安装系统(两种方法)
Windows8安装(两种方法,超实用)Windows8开发者预览版终于发布!想知道怎么下载Win8怎么安装Win8?有没有Win8安装教程?如果你想体验Win8的魅力,那就马上去下载吧!然而,Win8安装并不是一件容易活,首先要确定电脑能否支持Win8(能安装Win7的电脑都能安装Win8)。
如果想在虚拟机上安装,那比较遗憾的情况就是,在Windows平台上使用的虚拟机多数都安装不上(反正笔者身边的几个同事在虚拟机上安装Win8全都失败了)。
下载Win8和Win8的系统要求无论是那种安装方式,首先得下载Win8的系统镜像才行。
网友可以直接点击下面的下载链接进入Win8下载首页。

开发WinRT自定义组件+++
最近在工作中开始开发组件,满足公司的业务与技术需求,同时也在规划组件的开发路线,为公司的下一代产品做好技术储备。
元旦假期看了看Windows 8中的组件开发,除了传统的WPF、Windows Form、Silverlight、组件之外,还新增了一种WinRT组件。
WinRT = Windows Runtime,是Windows 8 新引入的一个新的框架,意在为Windows 平台上的开发提供一种语言无关、高度智能化的平台。
不是为了取代.NET、Win32等,而是为不同语言编写的程序提供统一支持,尤其是Metro风格程序。
测试代码下载一、准备工作安装Windows 8 Developer Preview、VS 11 Developer Preview等开发工具。
安装Win8时注意要用Windows Live ID登录,若没有账户可以先注册一个,否则后面会无法运行Metro程序。
安装Win8后注意更新一下显卡驱动,AMD官方提供了Windows 8的驱动,Nvidia使用Win7的驱动即可,确保分辨率在1024 X 768或更高。
VS 11 建议卸载自带的Express版本,安装全功能的Developer Preview版本。
此外,SQL Server 2012 RC0也已经发布,建议安装。
二、开始开发2.1、创建一个Windows Metro Style的Class Library项目:2.2、添加一个类:2.3、写一个ButtonX,继承自Button:WinRT的组件大部分位于Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls命名空间:2.4、WinRT与WPF、Silverlight组件类似,我就照着葫芦画飘,在ButtonX中添加如下代码:2.5、新建一个Themes文件夹,在其中添加Generic.xaml文件,因为没有资源字典这种项类型,故需要添加一个Page,然后把后台代码删除:使用ResourceDictionary来分别加载多个组件。

Win8之家()资讯:微软极大简化了Windows 8开发者预览版(Build 8102.winmain_win8m3.110830-1739 Milestone 3)的部署进程,在安装系统时不需要输入任何产品密钥。
尽管如此,产品密钥还是非常必要的,在某些情况仍然需要使用。
在公开提供Windows 8开发者预览版的下载时,微软似乎忘记了这件事。
根据测试人员的反馈,在重新安装或是重置系统时,就需要输入产品密钥。
微软响应中心日前就提供了两个产品密钥,供测试人员使用。
第一个产品密钥适用于客户端版本,也就是Windows 8开发者预览版,产品密匙为:6RH4V-HNTWC-JQKG8-RFR3R-36498;
第二个产品密钥适用于服务器版本,也就是Windows Server 8开发者预览版,产品密匙为:4Y8N3-H7MMW-C76VJ-YD3XV-MBDKV。
注:这两个产品密匙仅适用于此次微软发布的开发者预览版。

Nearly every PC is capable of wireless connectivity. Screens range from under ten inches to wall-mounted monitors to multiple HD screens. Storage has grown from megabytes to terabytes and is moving to the cloud. Multi-core processing and powerful graphics are normal. Touch screen mobile phones with the rich capabilities they bring together have changed the way we view computing. The explosion of social technologies, cloud-based services, and access to web services through apps give people powerful new ways to connect and share. Modern computing focuses much more on people and apps than on the operating system. These changes in the landscape motivated the most significant changes to Windows.But reimagining Windows® doesn’t mean starting over from scratch. Windows 7 fundamentals like speed, reliability, security, and compatibility make it the best operating system Microsoft has ever created. The next version of Windows (codenamed Windows 8) is being designed to build on what is great about Windows 7, delivering richer security features, faster startup, and longer battery life that runs on a wider choice of devices and chipsets. Windows 8 extends these fundamental features with a new touch-optimized interface. Windows 8 also provides the platform to create a whole new generation of full-screen apps that are based on modern web standards and available through the new Windows Store. We’ve redesigned the Windows experience and built on everything you already love. reimaginedWindowsNew and beautifuluser interface Metro styleWindows 8 introduces a new Metro style interface, which shows the information important to you, embodiessimplicity, and gives you control. The interface is a personalized layout with clean typography and animationsto make interacting with your PC fluid and intuitive. The new interface is built for touch. With touch, you cando what you want to do quickly and naturally. The new Start screen puts all of your apps in front of you forimmediate access. You don’t have to remember where things are. And whether you want to type, click, orswipe, Windows 8 is optimized for easier navigation so moving around the operating system is effortless witheither a finger, or a mouse and keyboard.It all starts hereThe new Start screen gives you a fast way to interact with all of your apps and content. The tiles are alive with information, showing you what’s going on at any time. Information that you care about — the weather, your friends’ status updates, the top movie in your Netflix queue, your next calendar appointment — is all there at a glance. You can personalize your Start screen with shortcuts to your favorite things, like websites, a playlist, or photo albums. You decide where you want things on the screen and how you want them grouped. You can optimize for efficiency by adding speed bumps between groups of apps so that you don’t have to swipe back and forth when you’re panning through your Start screen.Touch keyboardW indows 8 has two touch keyboards for ultimate mobility and flexibility. An improved, full-sized touch keyboard with larger buttons and a unique thumb keyboard make it easy to use your computer on thego. Whether you’re walking around or sitting down, it’s more comfortable and natural to type using your thumbs when the keyboard is split.The touch keyboard in Windows 8 includes several features to speed up your typing and make it more accurate. Improved keyboard technology is designed to minimize inaccurate key strokes while automatically correcting mistyped words without slowing you down. To make typing more efficient, Windows suggests words on screen as you type, allowing you to choose the suggested word with a single tap.The keyboard adapts to different languages. On touch-based computers, the layout of the keyboard automatically adjusts to the language you choose for Windows. Your input and language settings automatically apply to the whole computer rather than to just specific programs.One Windows – many shapesSupport for ARM-based chipsets, touch, and sensors makes Windows 8 work beautifully on your choiceof a full spectrum of devices, such as 10-inch slates with all-day battery life, ultra-lightweight laptops, and powerful all-in-ones with 27-inch high-definition screens. Regardless of which device you use, improvements in the core of the Windows operating system result in faster boot time, more efficient app management, and substantially reduced memory usage. Windows 8 is powerful and responsive.The touch keyboard is there when you need it See your apps and content at a glance on the Start screenPowered by apps Metro style apps built for Windows 8 are beautiful, intuitive, and the focal point of your experience. They’reimmersive, filling your entire screen so there are no distractions. Apps can adapt to a variety of form factorsand screen resolutions, such as thin slates or large monitors, and can work on x86, x64, and ARM platforms.Apps work together, making it easy to search, share, and send content between them. When you’reconnected to the Internet, your apps come alive with activity and show you the latest content so that you canstay up to date at a glance.Windows 8 gives you the important apps you need for your daily life, including a touch browser. AndWindows Store delivers everything you expect for getting apps. You’ll find the apps you want. You canbe confident that they’re very safe because we screen them. You’ll enjoy the flexibility of browsing,downloading, and buying or trying (if available).Your apps are ready for you on any Windows 8 PC you use—desktop, laptop, tablet—whether yours, afriend’s, or a family member’s. With a connected account, you can download your apps and use themwherever you are.Your apps come with youWhen you sign in with your connected Microsoft account to another PC running Windows 8, your Metro style apps and settings go with you, so it’s just like you’re using your own PC. You’ll also be signed in to all of the websites you were signed in to. Your connected account is like a portable, personal PC that appears on any Windows 8-based PC you’re using. You’re always ready to pick back up where you left off no matter where you are.Apps can work togetherApps can communicate with each other in Windows 8. So, if you want to send pictures in email, and they’re in different places like Facebook, Flickr, or on your hard drive, you can easily pick and send the ones you want. Windows 8 provides a single view.Always on and always connectedMetro style apps run and stay up to date even when the PC is on standby. When you’re connected to the Internet, you’ll receive information updates, email, VoIP calls, instant messages, and be able to stream music or other content in the background. When Windows comes out of standby, your apps don’t need time to catch up.Great apps right out of the boxWhether it’s entertainment, getting work done, staying in touch, being informed, or keeping memories, you’llhave the important apps you need. They look rich and beautiful, bring together all of your online content, and run in full screen, so nothing comes between you and what you’re doing.Internet Explorer 10: the web by touchM etro style Internet Explorer 10 provides a fast and fluid touch-first browsing experience that’s all aboutyour sites, making them feel increasingly more app-like. With faster performance, leading security protection,more hardware acceleration, and site-ready HTML5 support, IE10 continues to allow developersto build a richer and more beautiful web.Touch browsing is fast, fluid, and intuitivePick the files you want to send or share from one placeTouch browsing, not just browsing on a touch deviceI nternet Explorer 10, optimized for touch browsing, is built for speed and fluidity. Gesture-based navigation is intuitive and fast. You can pan, zoom, and navigate naturally. And when you need it, the navigation bar includes touch-friendly controls for common navigation tasks. The IE 10 touch experience has all the benefits of Windows, so you can snap applications side by side and quickly access the charms for searching and sharing. Internet Explorer 10 delivers a touch browsing experience that makes the web feel as seamless as everything else on your Windows 8 device.Your sites are at the centerThe Metro style interface of Internet Explorer 10 is cleaner and the browser gets out of the way, so the focus is on your favorite sites. The navigation bar appears only when you want it, so there’s more room for your sites. A ready-when-you-need-it touch keyboard is intelligently integrated into the browser. Like IE9 on Windows 7, you can pin your favorite websites to the new Windows Start screen. This makes them feel more like an app because you can access them with a single tap. And if your favorite site has a Metro style app available, IE10 lets you know so you can just switch to the app if you want.Experience a more beautiful webBy taking advantage of Windows and your device’s hardware, IE10 continues the IE9 commitment to loading sites so fast that it feels nearly instantaneous. The hardware acceleration pioneered in Internet Explorer 9 allows web developers and designers to build increasingly rich and immersive experiences. And because real-world security and privacy threats still plague the modern web, IE10 continues to provide a more secure and trusted browser. Building on the security platform of Windows and harnessing the world’s leading cloud-based reputation system, SmartScreen, Internet Explorer 10 will help keep youmore secure when browsing the web.Windows StoreThe new Windows Store features great apps you might be familiar with and others you’ll love getting to know. It’s easy for you to find the apps you want, ranging from exciting new games, to the productivity tools you already know and trust on Windows.You can browse and compare thousands of apps—we make it easy for you by grouping apps in familiar categories, highlighting frequently downloaded apps, and showing how other users have rated what they’ve purchased. For many apps, you can try before buying if you’re a bit skeptical. Once you’ve decided, you can buy with peace of mind, knowing that downloaded apps have been screened and checked for viruses. And you can install your purchased apps on up to five Windows 8 PCs.DesktopOn x86 and x64 PCs, the apps you’re used to using, like Microsoft® Office Word® and Excel®, CAD/CAM, andAdobe Photoshop, still run on the desktop the way they always have. When you want to use one of theseapps, you can get to it right from your Start screen. You simply tap and go. Windows opens your app on thedesktop, and you can use touch or your keyboard and mouse.CompatibilityOn x86 and x64 PCs, Windows 8 supports Windows 7 desktop applications and devices so you don’t have to compromise or give up what you’re used to. On these PCs, your existing Windows 7-based applications just work. More for power usersIf you want to push the limits of your PC experience, we’ve invested in the features most often used by power users. We redesigned Windows Explorer and Task Manager to greatly enhance productivity, and developed new, flexible options for multi-monitor setups.File management with easeW e’ve enhanced Windows Explorer to make file navigation and common file management tasks straightforward. The ribbon organizes Explorer’s rich functionality, surfacing previously buried features and has new commands like ISO mounting and single-window move or copy. We’ve brought back a long-lost favorite: the Up button. We’ve also introduced a new enhanced copy experience so you can view and manage all of your file operations in one place.Task ManagerThe new Task Manager is your easy-to-use, all-in-one dashboard for monitoring and controlling your PC so you always know what’s going on with it. The information is presented in color-coded tiles to help draw your eye to items that are using the bulk of a resource. You can keep track of your system efficiently and in real-time, taking advantage of summary graphs and detailed information on processes, applications, and history. You can see the services associated with each process on one screen.Multi-monitor optionsU sing multiple monitors is more flexible than ever before. New options allow you to display the Start screen on one monitor and the desktop on the other. Display different desktop backgrounds on each monitor or stretch your image across both. There are also options to have duplicate or unique task bars on each monitor.Push-Button ResetThere’s nothing more frustrating than having a major PC failure and spending hours reconstructing your computer’s original state or paying to have someone do the work for you. Windows 8 comes with a number of options to restore your PC to its original state. You can do a basic reset, which gives you an easy optionto restart fresh while retaining all of your documents, accounts, personal settings, and even the apps you’ve downloaded from the Windows Store.Windows 8 also provides some new, advanced options. You can do a complete reset, which restores the PC to the state it was in when originally purchased. And you can also create a reset disk, which is great for power users who have invested time to personalize and configure their PC. Restore from USB Key restores your PC from a thumb drive, saving space and giving you a convenient backup tool in the event that your hard drive is damaged and needs to be replaced.Windows UpdateNobody likes to be interrupted when they’re in the middle of doing something important. At the same time, it’s important that you keep your PC up to date.Windows 8 takes care of keeping your computer up to date, including most maintenance activities, without getting in your way. If you turn on Windows Update during setup and your computer needs an update, Windows can install it when you’re not using your computer or at a time you’ve specified. When anupdate requires a reboot, there’s a grace period, allowing you to pick a time that’s convenient for you. Asa result, you see far fewer prompts about maintenance, updates, or reboots. You won’t be slowed down by interruptions, and your PC will keep performing well.Multiple monitors now work as one big workspaceTask Manager shows you how your PC is performing The Process tab shows you what’s using PC resourcesGreat apps start with great developers. Windows 8 gives you the platform and tools to create rich app experiences where your customers focus on tasks that are important to them. Apps are at the center of the Windows 8 experience. They’re alive with activity and vibrant content. Your customers immerse themselves in your full-screen, Metro style app allowing them to focus on their content rather than on the operating system.Signing up to sell your app through Windows Store means you can tap into the broad customer reach of Windows, which spans markets around the world. You’ll draw from a wealth of new tools and services so you can develop and deploy apps faster and more profitably. Of course, you can also reach and engage new customers using the commerce platform of your choice.With Windows 8 you can leverage your existing skills and code assets to create great experiences for your customers.• Web developers can use their HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript skills to build native applications forWindows. • .NET Developers can use XAML, C#, and Visual Basic to build beautiful Metro style apps.• Game developers can use the power of DirectX 11.1 to build amazing, immersive gaming experiences. • Driver developers can use the new, integrated Microsoft ® Visual Studio ® development environment toincrease productivity.With Windows 8, you’re ready to imagine, build, and sell the next great app.Developing for Windows 8Windows Runtime and app modelThe Windows Runtime (WinRT) is a straightforward set of APIs used to build Metro style apps. WinRT lets you build apps that look great and are intuitive for your customers to use. WinRT APIs are available to developers in multiple languages, including JavaScript, C++, C#, and Visual Basic. The new Windows SDK for Metro style apps also includes a subset of traditional Win32, Component Object Model (COM), and .NET Framework APIs, as well as HTML5 and CSS3 APIs that are accessible to Metro style app developers.Choose from a broad range of app programming languagesTo build fully native and robust apps that make the most of a Windows 8-based PC, you can develop using web programming technologies or familiar Windows programming techniques. Windows Metro styleapps using JavaScript leverage the combination of HTML5 and CSS3 to build the user interface, along with JavaScript for app logic. Windows Metro style apps using C++, C#, or Visual Basic use XAML markup forthe user interface, with C++, C#, or Visual Basic for app logic. Game developers can build Metro style games using C++ and DirectX 11.1 to take full advantage of graphics hardware, or build casual games using HTML5 or XAML.Compatibility with existing frameworksWinRT APIs are accessible to other Microsoft programming frameworks, like the .NET Framework or Windows C Runtime Library. Desktop apps can access WinRT functionality by including the Using keyword in your code. WinRT features are represented by the Application Binary Interface (ABI), which makes Windows APIs accessible from other programming languages. The ABI is exposed in metadata assemblies (.winmd files), allowing static languages (like C#) and dynamic languages (like JavaScript) to understand the structure of the WinRT API.Build component libraries with extensible frameworksThe new Windows 8 app models feature native extensibility, which you can use to build your own reusable component libraries. You first build your own custom components with C++, C#, or Visual Basic. Then, you can use JavaScript or any other supported language to call these components from your apps.Shell integrationWhen you create a Metro style app, you get deep integration with the new Windows 8 features, including the app bar, edge, live tiles, and contracts with other apps. Your app participates fully in the touch-first interface and modern user experience. When it runs, your app becomes the focus of attention, and the operating system chrome recedes into the background.Adding Metro style to your appsYour apps get a predictable, Metro style UI that’s tailored to the device by using Windows 8 controls. The controls are designed for both touch devices and for mouse and keyboard. By default, your apps convey the Windows personality, which is a familiar user experience that customers understand. Here are the three kinds of controls that you can use.Standard controls: these include everything you need to display, enter, and manipulate data and content. Control families include view, text, pattern, overlay, media (audio and video), content, collection, and basic. Collection controls:These help designers to create rich content experiences in consistent, touch-friendly ways. They include built-in support for drag-and-drop operations, and they let you customize display modes by using styling and templates. Examples are the simple list, grid view, grouped grid view, flip view, and semantic zoom.Intrinsic controls: These are available in the Windows Library for JavaScript (WinJS), and they go beyond the limitations of CSS3 box-type controls, if you need more flexibility in your interface design or you want to integrate your own brand into your customers’ experience.Creating immersive user interfaces with adaptive layoutWindows 8 gives you creative options for adapting an app experience dynamically to the size of the screen area, changes in orientation, and different display capabilities using CSS3. These features enable you to give your customers a fluid, natural-feeling experience in your Metro style apps. Here are some examples. Animation:Create smooth, animated experiences and elements with HTML5 and CSS3 that embody the Metro style. Take advantage of a comprehensive set of pre-defined animations that are lively and unique, yet familiar to users.3-D transformations: Add smooth, fluid visual experiences, such as perspective transforms and flipping elements on and off the screen. In the past, you’d have to create these effects using native code, but now you can create them with HTML5 and CSS3.Flexible box layout: Create flexible containers that expand proportionally to fill any remaining space inan HTML5 layout. This is great for designers to use to create key components of apps, such as toolbars or navigational elements.Grid layout: Position and size content elements into cells on a grid structure that you define with fixed, fractional, or automatic units.Multi-column layout: Mimic newspaper and magazine layouts by creating a single column of HTML5 content in multiple parallel columns with equal width and height.GraphicsDirectX gaming power underlies Windows 8, so you have several options when creating Metro style game apps. You can write full-screen, chrome-free games with smooth, flicker-free action using HTML5, JavaScript,and CSS3. Or, write impressive 2D and lightweight 3D games using XAML with managed C# or Visual Basic. You can also use the full processing abilities of modern graphics hardware using native C++ and HLSLwith DirectX 11.1.Create immersive games using the power of DirectXThe new Windows 8 graphics stack is better integrated, making Direct2D, Direct3D, and DirectCompute components easier to use together and requiring fewer duplicated resources than before. Capabilities previously available only in XNA, such as DirectXMath, XAudio2, and XInput, are now available. For the ultimate experience in gaming and video, use DirectX 11.1 to bring stereoscopic 3D to your apps. Media and sensorsBuilding immersive experiences that take full advantage of modern hardware isn’t hard with Windows 8. You can integrate audio and video content using declarative APIs with support for many popular codecs. Sensor support helps you build experiences that are tailored to the user’s context with powerful Win32 APIs or easy-to-use WinRT components.Integrate audio and videoMetro style apps built for Windows using JavaScript have access to the <Audio> and <Video> tags, which enable you to embed a video or audio clip with a single line of HTML code. Similarly, XAML developers have access to the <MediaElement>, a powerful control for media integration. A wide variety of codecs are supported, including h.263, h.264, AAC, and MP3. Enhancements to Media Foundation improve compatibility and performance for desktop application developers.Metro style apps also have access to the Windows.Media namespaces in the WinRT for capturing and transcoding media, as well as using PlayTo to stream audio, video, or images to networked devices. With camera capture support, you can create capture controls, use a preview window, and specify resolutionand codecs for media capture, all without calling complex APIs. And for apps that just need a basic camera capture without additional control, the CameraCaptureUI class can capture a photo or video in only one method call, which uses a Windows-provided dialog so that you don’t need to create any UI for the capture operation.Build experiences that are tailored to the user with sensorsThe Windows 8 sensor platform is an end-to-end solution that includes guidelines for the hardware manufacturer, developers of class drivers and those that develop against the Win32 API and the Windows runtime component.The Win32 API enables you to integrate sensor data into your application without writing a lot of code. You can “discover” available sensors, register to receive event notifications, and control the interval at which the hardware issues events. The variety of sensors supported by the API is virtually unlimited—if the sensor data is published by the Human Interface Device (HID) class driver, you can access it.The WinRT component enables you to quickly access input from seven sensors: accelerometer, inclinometer, gyrometer, compass, ambient-light, orientation, and simple orientation of your device (this does not include geo-location). The orientation sensor fuses data from several physical sensors to provide a quaternion and a rotation matrix as output. Game developers can use these components in a variety of game genres to control the user’s perspective and orientation.Building for the tailored webWindows 8 is a great platform for building apps. It’s also the leading platform for building beautiful, fast, and highly secure websites. Web services enhance the user experience and can take advantage of functionality provided by SkyDrive, Hotmail, and Windows Live Messenger. Notification services let your app continue to add value, even when it isn’t running.Developing for Internet Explorer 10Internet Explorer 10 is the most exciting browser from Microsoft for developers. With support for modern standards like HTML5, CSS3, and SVG, as well as hardware-accelerated graphics and compiled JavaScript, Internet Explorer lets you build the next generation of web experiences.Internet Explorer 10 continues to challenge the notion that the web is inferior to native apps by putting hardware accelerated HTML5 at the core and makes it possible for developers to build the next class of great web experience.Microsoft is continuing to deliver on our commitment to HTML5 with IE10 and Windows 8, providing a great platform to push web development forward. Internet Explorer provides a standards-based web platform that is fully interoperable across both the desktop and the new Metro style IE 10 browser, enabling developers to write the same HTML5 markup across both experiences.With the release of IE10, developers get even more support for HTML5, enabling them to create richvisual effects and animations with hardware accelerated CSS transitions, animations, 3D transformations, along with CSS3 text shadow, gradients, and SVG filter effects. Building increasingly sophisticated page layouts is possible with support for CSS3 grid, flexible box layout, multi-column, figures, CSS3 regions, and hyphenation, as well as HTML5 Forms and Input Controls.The IE10 platform also includes support for local storage including IndexedDB, Application Cache, Async scripts, Web Workers, ES5 Strict mode support, Web Sockets, HTML5 file APIs, drag-drop, history, and sandboxing. These features give developers an increasingly sophisticated, standards-based, programming model that is ideal for creating modern web experiences.Microsoft’s commitment to HTML5 now extends beyond the browser to Windows. With the introductionof Windows Metro style apps using JavaScript, web developers that build amazing JavaScript and HTML5 sites will be able to quickly and easily turn those into even richer applications that take full advantage of the underlying capabilities of Windows. Using familiar HTML5 programming models and toolsets, developers can start building beautiful, interactive web sites and Metro style apps with great performance and security. With Internet Explorer 10 and Windows, HTML5 continues to open up new possibilities for developers to reimagine the web.。
