For registered users of Microsoft distributes new product for free. Why suddenly such generosity?
And whether or not, as they say, the tenth edition will be the last in a series of operating systems Windows?
In an interview with the editor of the Russian version of the international computer magazine Chip Andrew Kireyev the host of “Fifth Floor” Alexander Kan is trying to find answers to these and many other interesting of all computer users questions.
Download the podcast program “Fifth floor” here.
Alexander Kahn: Out of any new version of the Windows operating system turns into a great event. Twenty years ago, the song Rolling Stones Starting Up thundered around the world, while promising new operating system Windows 95. And Windows 10. Are any such novelty – such an important event, or is it just hype products?
Andrew Kireev: It’s not hype, it’s really important step not only for the company but also for the users. With each new version of the user in the operating system expects something new and more convenient. With the release of Windows 8 users have been slightly disappointed, though many were waiting for – start screen with tiles caused a stir, but then disappointed, because it was not very comfortable. In the new version the developers have worked on the mistakes, shortcomings and corrected now expected a grand procession of new OSes for computers.
AK.: “Top Ten” just fix flaws “Eight “or we are dealing with a fundamentally new product?
An.K.: says the company itself, Windows 10 – it is seriously modified Windows 8.1. In Windows 8.1 have been added to some of the tools that make the operating system more user-friendly, even over Windows 8 has been modified security very seriously, and home and business users, the latter – much worse.
AK.: There is talk that the program will be free. Microsoft is the first time such a step, although a detailed examination reveals that the gratuity is not for everyone. What’s the deal there?
An.K.: free New Operating System is only for licensed users of Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1. These users will update their systems, or may install a new, key in the previous one. But, as the company claims, Windows 10 can deliver and unlicensed user. No restrictions will not be only on the desktop will be shown inscription that unlicensed operating system. There are only a few restrictions on updating the software is not security-related.
AK. : It is also interesting new browser, “The Edge”. what it is? How is it different from its predecessors?
An.K.: The new browser will be available only to Windows 10. “The Edge” positioned “Microsoft” as a more secure and fast tool to find and work with information on the Internet. One of its advantages – highlight information, notes, and to share with other users. This browser will have additional add-ons, but those add-ons that were in the “Explorer”, which represented some threats, they cut off.
AK.: Advanced users in the “Explorer” look with contempt. Recently switched to Google Chrome, or to Firefox. So the comparison with the “Explorer” little work. And in this regard, looks “Edge”?
An.K. : To compare is not necessary, because the browser looks Spartan, even title the first was “Spartan”. The graphical interface is not rich settings, the emphasis is on speed and security.
AK. : It is said that in Windows-10 will be built a new office suite, Office 2016 . On this occasion, too, received contradictory information: mobile device with a screen of at least 10-inch version will get a touch, and the rest will have to buy it.
An.K.: I think people were misled. Microsoft recently held a round table, where it was said that such a package users will receive all Windows-10. 2016 will not be included in the name. The office will be composed of three basic tools – Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Limit diagonal likely not provided. But implemented by Microsoft in Windows 10 interface Continuum optimizes applications for devices with different screen sizes, including touch screen.
AK. : We hear that and Windows 10 and Office will be free. Why such generosity? And how it will work in the business model?
An.K.: From the release of a free operating system “Microsoft” also gets its benefit. Apple has long been practicing such a scheme, also Google. The advantage is that increases overall security of the network. Now thousands of computers running on Windows XP has, including infected. Offering a move to a modern operating system with unprecedented security measures that ensure safety from viruses and substitute drivers, even at the start, the company has pulls on his side of illegal users, including pirates, who will be required to enter an account in the new OS, without which it can not be used , Microsoft puts them on record. It can collect data that make other companies for advertising purposes. The new operating system using new types of authorization, including through the camera when to go into Windows, you need to show your face.
AK.: more Not long ago Microsoft was an absolute monopoly on the operating system, it applies even to the fairly stringent punitive measures. And now we are talking about Apple and Google. Monopoly destroyed?
An.K.: action on de-monopolization go for a long time. In Russia there is a transition to the open operating system Linux, this is particularly evident in the state institutions. Monopoly, the unreliability of the software giant, which at any moment could turn off the services, making such steps is quite logical.
AK.: There is information that Windows 10 may not be almost final version of the OS?
An.K. : Yes, Microsoft made such a declaration. In the future it will be released updates that will be installed on the user’s computer without his knowledge. That is, the OP will simply be upgraded, which is quite logical.
AK.: We will look forward to.
