Windows 8 design flaws Microsoft MUST address | |
|
||
| Time: 10:01 EST/15:01 GMT | News Source: ZDNet | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||

With continued innovation in the hardware ecosystem, the biggest shift in firmware in 30 years, and software changes leading to boot times of ~7 seconds on machines with solid-state drives (SSDs), we decided it was time to bring the PC boot user experience into the 21st century. In a previous post by Gabe Aul, we discussed how fast startup mode will make faster boot times a reality in Windows 8. You may have noticed from his fast boot video that boot felt different – not only was it super fast, it was seamless, from the time the power was switched on all the way to the Start screen. In this post, we will explore how the team has reimagined the complete Windows boot user experience to make that possible. | ||

| Instead of prettying up the BSOD with a text emoticon (A graphic still isn't possible in a Metro BSOD message? How 20th century.) and a too short sentence on what to look for online to begin to address the cause, I would love to see Windows actually be capable of fixing the cause of a BSOD or fully leading a user through the process, or if it's a hardware issue tell us something like "replace your dead network card". I got a BSOD on the Preview after running Windows Update the first install. It would not reboot without going directly to the BSOD. Therefore, the BSOD message still comes across as "I fart in your general direction". Windows would be awesome if, when it rebooted, the OS was intelligent enough to undo the damage and prevent a recurrence. This self-healing of Windows may not exist until James T. Kirk is born in Iowa in 2233. In the meantime every new version of Windows was/is/will-be the fastest, most secure, most user friendly, and best version ever, according to Microsoft. |
