U posljednje vrijeme primjećujem jaku raspravu o Windowsu 8^{(Windows 8)} . Ljudi ga obično ili mrze ili vole. Nema dijeljenja umjerenih presuda. Oni koji ga mrze dijele uglavnom iste pritužbe, od kojih mislim da su mnoge pogrešne. Zato sam odlučio podijeliti svoje viđenje tih argumenata i ono što vjerujem da je glavna stvar koju ljudi ne razumiju o Windowsu 8^{(Windows 8)} .

Najčešći argumenti ljudi koji mrze Windows 8^{(Who Hate Windows 8)}

Kada čitate članke, postove na blogu ili komentare koje su napisali ljudi koji mrze Windows 8, oni uvijek dijele ove argumente:

• Mrzim Metro - nije koristan s mišem i tipkovnicom, a Metro aplikacije nisu toliko korisne kao desktop aplikacije. ^{(I hate Metro - it is not useful with a mouse and keyboard and Metro apps are not as useful as desktop applications.)}- Prije svega Metro je sučelje orijentirano na dodir koje nudi podršku za miš i tipkovnicu. Dakle, da, lakše je koristiti prstima na zaslonu osjetljivom na dodir ili tabletu. No, nije teško koristiti ni miš i tipkovnicu. Samo trebate naučiti da će desni klik donijeti kontekstualni izbornik s opcijama za svaku aplikaciju i načinom korištenja privjesaka s desne strane. Kada se to nauči, Metro postaje jednostavan za korištenje miša i tipkovnice.^{(You just need to learn that a right-click will bring the contextual menu with options for each app and how to use the charms on the right. Once this is learned, Metro becomes easy to use a mouse and keyboard.)}Da, Metro aplikacije nisu toliko korisne kao desktop aplikacije. Prvo, Windows 8 još nije pokrenut pa je broj dostupnih aplikacija mali. Većina njih su beta verzije i rani prototipovi. Postoje neke sjajne Metro aplikacije, ali dok ih ne vidimo velik broj, trebat će neko vrijeme i prvo treba pokrenuti Windows 8. Međutim, radna površina je u potpunosti prisutna u sustavu Windows 8. Radi onako kako ga poznajete i dobila je daljnja podešavanja i poboljšanja u odnosu na Windows 7. Ne morate koristiti Metro aplikacije. Ako vam se ne sviđaju, jednostavno ih nemojte koristiti. Nastavite koristiti aplikacije za stolna računala koje ste zavoljeli. Oni nastavljaju postojati i rade nevjerojatno dobro.^{(You do not have to use Metro apps. If you do not like them, simply don't use them. Continue to use the Desktop applications you've grown to love. They continue to exist and work incredibly well.)}

• Mrzim vrpcu u sustavu Windows 8^{(I hate the ribbon in Windows 8)} – to je ono što je većina ljudi rekla o vrpci kada je prvi put predstavljena u Microsoft Officeu 2007. Pa ipak, postala je sjajna paradigma sučelja koja čini značajke vidljivijima i lakšima za korištenje. Objavili smo nekoliko zanimljivih članaka o tome: Analiza sustava Windows 8: Je li novo sučelje vrpce učinkovitije? ^{(Windows 8 Analysis: Is the New Ribbon Interface More Efficient?)}i 12 razloga zašto Windows Explorer u sustavu Windows 8 Rocks^{(12 Reasons why Windows Explorer in Windows 8 Rocks)}. Ako nisu dovoljno dobri argumenti da vas uvjere u suprotno, nisam siguran da će išta drugo. Osobno, kada je pokrenut Microsoft Office 2007, bio sam zaintrigiran. Dan-dva mi je bilo teško snaći se i riješiti se stare paradigme sučelja. Ali nakon što je učenje završeno, svidjela mi se vrpca i to me učinilo nevjerojatno produktivnim. Kad sam to vidio u sustavu Windows 8, nisam mogao ne biti sretan. Bio sam produktivan odmah jer se primjenjuju isti principi i lako je pronaći svoj put. Ako ste koristili novije verzije Microsoft Officea, nećete imati problema s korištenjem vrpce u sustavu Windows 8, bez ikakve krivulje učenja.^{(If you have used the newer versions of Microsoft Office, you will have no trouble using the ribbon in Windows 8, without any learning curve.)}

• Zahtijeva preodgoj^{(It requires re-education)} - Osobno ne smatram ovo pravim argumentom. Evolucija uvijek zahtijeva preodgoj. Ako želimo da budućnost računalstva postane stvarnost prije nego kasnije, moramo se stalno preodgojiti i učiti nove tehnologije, paradigme sučelja itd. Snalaženje u sustavu Windows 8 nije tako teško. Morate naučiti neke nove tipkovničke prečace, neke nove geste i gotovi ste. Ljudi su se morali preodgojiti kada su prešli s Microsoft Office 2003 na Microsoft Office 2007. I Microsoft Office 2007, kao i 2010, vrlo su uspješni proizvodi. Ljudi su se morali preodgojiti pri prelasku sa Windows 98 na Windows XP i kada su prešli sa Windows XP na Windows 7. Nitko ne može osporiti uspjeh Windows XP i Windows 7.

Argumenti koji imaju poentu

Ima i ljudi koji dijele valjane argumente. I slažem se s njima ili njihovim dijelovima:

• Početni zaslon je loš, želim natrag izbornik Start^{(The Start Screen sucks, I want the Start Menu back)} - Osobno ne mislim da je novi početni zaslon loš. Stari izbornik Start bio je pretrpan, prisiljavao vas je da puno skrolujete po prečacima i nije baš sjajno ako ga objektivno analizirate. Njegov jedini pravi plus je činjenica da ga svi znaju, koriste i očekuju da će biti tu.

  Međutim, novi početni zaslon zahtijeva dodatna poboljšanja iako čini pretragu puno bržom. Ako volite koristiti pretragu za traženje prečaca, datoteka i mapa u sustavu Windows 7, moći ćete učiniti isto, ponekad i brže u sustavu Windows 8. No, novi početni zaslon ima problema s načinom na koji je organiziran. Istaknuli smo neke negativne aspekte u našoj analizi: Analiza sustava Windows 8: Je li početni zaslon poboljšanje u odnosu na izbornik Start? ^{(Windows 8 Analysis: Is the Start Screen an Improvement vs. the Start Menu?)}i vjerujemo da Microsoft mora napraviti daljnja poboljšanja kako bi ljudi zaboravili na izbornik Start.

• Traka na ekranu osjetljivom na dodir^{(The ribbon on a touch screen)} - Ovaj argument je jedini o kojem se ne može raspravljati i, po mom mišljenju, 100% je valjan. Windows Explorer i drugi Windows 8 programi s trakastim sučeljem bit će dostupni i na sustavima i uređajima sa zaslonima osjetljivim na dodir. Iako je vrpca izvrsna s mišem i tipkovnicom, možda neće biti sjajna s dodirom, barem ne na način na koji je implementiran u pregledu izdanja Windows 8. Microsoft je obećao napraviti neke promjene u ovom području, koje će biti otkrivene u konačnoj verziji Windowsa 8. S obzirom da Microsoft razvija sučelje optimizirano za dodir za Microsoft Office 15, vjerujem da će i ovaj problem biti riješen. Više pojedinosti o radu na Microsoft Officeu možete pronaći ovdje: Ekskluzivno: značajke i poboljšanja Microsoft Officea 15^{(Exclusive: Microsoft Office 15 features and improvements)} .

Oni koji mrze Windows 8^{(Windows 8)} moraju shvatiti da je Windows 8 o budućnosti!

Mnogi mrzitelji Windows 8 također će reći da ne žele hibridno sučelje na desktopu. ^{(don't want a hybrid interface on a desktop.)}Svima njima nedostaje vrlo važan aspekt: ​​glavna svrha Windowsa 8 nije korištenje na današnjim računalima i uređajima, već na onima sutrašnjice. ^{(the main purpose of Windows 8 is not to be used on today's computers and devices but on those of tomorrow.)}Naravno da će raditi na današnjim uređajima (mora), ali nije u tome stvar.

Ako obratite pozornost na demonstracije i prezentacije koje je napravio Microsoft te na određene članke vijesti, brzo ćete shvatiti da the main role of Windows 8 is to revitalize the hardware and software world. To accelerate the future!

Microsoft ne želi da se Windows 8 toliko koristi na klasičnim računalima, čak i ako će se u početku uglavnom koristiti na njima. Microsoft želi Windows 8 na računalima sutrašnjice. Evo nekoliko primjera računalnih scenarija koje treba razmotriti, osim očitog tableta:

• Hibridni uređaji kao što je Asus Transformer , sa sustavom Windows 8^{(Windows 8)} . Već postoji prototip koji dvostruko pokreće Windows 8 i Android . Također, pročitajte ovaj članak o Intelovom^(Intel) prototipu: Intel predstavio hibridni Ultrabook-tablet koji pokreće Windows 8^{(Intel Shows Off Ultrabook-Tablet Hybrid Running Windows 8)} .
• Prijenosna računala s podrškom za pokretne pločice. Ovdje je već u primitivnom obliku. Za pojedinosti pogledajte ovaj članak: Pregled izdanja sustava Windows 8: Nova podrška za pokrete za praćenje^{(Windows 8 Release Preview: New Trackpad Gesture Support)} .
• Prijenosna računala s Kinectom^(Kinect) uključena. Pojedinosti o postojećim prototipovima ovdje: Microsoftov najnoviji dom za Kinect tehnologiju: prijenosna računala^{(Microsoft's latest home for Kinect technology: portable computers)} .
• Stolna računala s Kinectom^(Kinect) za Windows . Ova tehnologija je već ovdje i volio bih da je Kinect za Windows dostupan u mojoj domovini - Rumunjskoj^(Romania) - tako da je mogu koristiti sa sustavom Windows 8^{(Windows 8)} . Budući da prijenosna računala i Windows telefoni^{(Windows Phones)} s Kinectom^(Kinect) imaju smisla, mislim da stolna računala s Kinectom^(Kinect) imaju još više smisla.
• Zasloni na dodir^(Touch) za stolna računala, prijenosna računala i bilo koji uređaj na koji ih želite povezati. Svi smo navikli na zaslone visoke razlučivosti s kojima ne možete komunicirati. Ali što ako su zamijenjeni zaslonima osjetljivim na dodir, koji također imaju integriran Kinect ? Windows 8 bi u tom trenutku imao još više smisla.

Kako bismo upotpunili sliku, dijele se i neki cool koncepti tableta. Pojedinosti o jednom takvom konceptu možete pronaći ovdje: Praktični rad s Microsoft Surface za Windows RT, Touch Cover i Type Cover^{(Hands-on with Microsoft Surface for Windows RT, Touch Cover and Type Cover)} . Potpuna procjena sustava Windows 8 trebala bi uključivati ​​testiranje njegove izvedbe i upotrebljivosti na uređajima poput prethodno spomenutih.

Windows 8 uvelike ovisi o proizvođačima hardvera, više od bilo kojeg drugog operativnog sustava ikada napravljenog. Ako budu inovirali i doneli svijetu uzbudljive nove uređaje, koji mogu iskoristiti prednosti sustava Windows 8 i ono što on može učiniti, tada će ljudi primijetiti, programeri softvera primijetit će, tisak će primijetiti. Ako se to dogodi, dobit će imati i IT industrija i potrošači.

Windows 8 - Microsoftova najveća opklada IKAD^{(Microsoft Biggest Bet EVER)} !

Iako mrzitelji Windowsa 8^{(Windows 8)} imaju neke valjane argumente, Windows 8 neće biti tako grozan kako kažu. Postoje mnoge prednosti hibridne prirode Windows 8 , kao i nedostaci. Izjaviti da je Windows 8 sranje, bez čekanja da se pojavi konačna verzija, pomalo je kratkovidno, pogotovo kada je Microsoft vrlo otvoreno izjavio da u konačnoj verziji ima još mnogo promjena.

Osobno, jako cijenim ono što Microsoft pokušava učiniti sa sustavom Windows 8^{(Windows 8)} . Primijetio sam mnoga poboljšanja od Developer Previewa^{(Developer Preview)} do Pregleda izdanja^{(Release Preview)} i vjerujem da će otkriti neka zanimljiva iznenađenja u konačnoj verziji. Nadam se da će vas moje mišljenje odjeknuti i uvjeriti vas da donesete konačnu presudu o Windowsu 8^{(Windows 8)} tek nakon što se pokrene. Nakon što vidimo prave nove uređaje sa sustavom Windows 8^{(Windows 8)} , a ne samo prototipove i ideje.

Jako razumijem i cijenim Microsoftov^(Microsoft) krajnji cilj - jedan operativni sustav i jedno iskustvo na svim vašim uređajima: vašem telefonu, vašem Xboxu, vašem stolnom računalu, prijenosnom računalu, tabletu, vašem hibridnom računarskom uređaju za koji još ne znate kako izgleda kao. Želim im puno sreće. Ako uspiju s ovom vizijom, zauvijek će promijeniti način na koji koristimo računala i uređaje.

What Windows 8 Haters Don’t Understand About Windows 8

Lately, I notice a strong debate about Windows 8. People tend to either hate it or love it. There are no moderate verdicts being shared. Those who hate it ѕhare mostly the same complaints, many of which I think are wrong. That's why I deсided to share my view on those arguments and what I believe iѕ the main thing people don't understand about Windows 8.

The Most Common Arguments Shared by People Who Hate Windows 8

When you read articles, blog posts or comments were written by people who hate Windows 8, they invariably share these arguments:

• I hate Metro - it is not useful with a mouse and keyboard and Metro apps are not as useful as desktop applications. - First of all Metro is a touch-oriented interface that offers support for a mouse and keyboard. So yes, it is easier to use with your fingers on a touch screen or a tablet. But, it is not hard to use the mouse and keyboard either. You just need to learn that a right-click will bring the contextual menu with options for each app and how to use the charms on the right. Once this is learned, Metro becomes easy to use a mouse and keyboard. Yes, Metro apps are not as useful as desktop apps. First, Windows 8 is not yet launched so the number of available apps is small. Most of them are beta versions and early prototypes. There are some great Metro apps but until we see a big number of them, it will take a while and Windows 8 needs to be launched first. However, the Desktop is fully present in Windows 8. It works as you know it and it received further tweaks and improvements compared to Windows 7. You do not have to use Metro apps. If you do not like them, simply don't use them. Continue to use the Desktop applications you've grown to love. They continue to exist and work incredibly well.

• I hate the ribbon in Windows 8 - that's what most people said about the ribbon when it was first introduced in Microsoft Office 2007. And yet, it has become a great interface paradigm which makes features more visible and easier to use. We've published some interesting articles about it: Windows 8 Analysis: Is the New Ribbon Interface More Efficient? and 12 Reasons why Windows Explorer in Windows 8 Rocks. If they are not arguments good enough to convince you otherwise, I'm not sure anything else will. Personally, when Microsoft Office 2007 was launched, I was intrigued. For a day or two I had a hard time getting around, and getting rid of the old interface paradigm. But once the learning was done, I loved the ribbon and it made me incredibly productive. When I saw it in Windows 8, I could not help but feel happy. I was productive right away because the same principles are applied and finding my way was easy. If you have used the newer versions of Microsoft Office, you will have no trouble using the ribbon in Windows 8, without any learning curve.

• It requires re-education - Personally, I do not consider this a real argument. Evolution always requires re-education. If we want the future of computing to become a reality sooner rather than later, we need to constantly re-educate ourselves and learn new technologies, interface paradigms, etc. Finding your way in Windows 8 is not that hard. You need to learn some new keyboard shortcuts, some new gestures and you are done. People needed to re-educate themselves when going from Microsoft Office 2003 to Microsoft Office 2007. And Microsoft Office 2007, as well as 2010, are very successful products. People needed to re-educate themselves when going from Windows 98 to Windows XP, and when going from Windows XP to Windows 7. Nobody can contest the success of Windows XP and Windows 7.

Arguments That Do Have a Point

There are people who share valid arguments too. And I do agree with them or portions of them:

• The Start Screen sucks, I want the Start Menu back - Personally, I do not think the new Start Screen sucks. The old Start Menu was crowded, forced you to scroll a lot through shortcuts and not that great if you analyze it objectively. Its only real plus is the fact that everybody knows it, uses it and expects it to be there.

  However, the new Start Screen does need further improvements even though it makes search a lot faster. If you love using search to find for shortcuts, files, and folders in Windows 7, you will be able to do the same, sometimes faster in Windows 8. But, the new Start Screen does have issues with how it is organized. We highlighted some negative aspects in our analysis: Windows 8 Analysis: Is the Start Screen an Improvement vs. the Start Menu? and we do believe Microsoft needs to make further improvements to make people forget about the Start Menu.

• The ribbon on a touch screen - This argument is only which cannot be debated and, in my opinion, is 100% valid. Windows Explorer and other Windows 8 programs with a ribbon interface will be available also on systems and devices with touch screens. While the ribbon is great with a mouse and keyboard, it might not be great with touch, at least not the way it is implemented in Windows 8 Release Preview. Microsoft promised to make some changes in this area, that will be revealed in the final version of Windows 8. Considering that Microsoft is developing a touch optimized interface for Microsoft Office 15, I trust that even this problem will be tackled. More details about the work done on Microsoft Office can be found here: Exclusive: Microsoft Office 15 features and improvements.

Windows 8 Haters Need to Understand That Windows 8 is About the Future!

Many Windows 8 haters will also say that they don't want a hybrid interface on a desktop. All of them miss a very important aspect: the main purpose of Windows 8 is not to be used on today's computers and devices but on those of tomorrow. Sure it will work on today's devices (it has to), but that's not the point.

If you pay attention to the demos and presentations made by Microsoft and to certain news articles, you quickly realize that the main role of Windows 8 is to revitalize the hardware and software world. To accelerate the future!

Microsoft doesn't want Windows 8 to be used that much on classic computers, even if it will be used mostly on them at the beginning. Microsoft wants Windows 8 on the computers of tomorrow. Here are a few examples of computing scenarios to consider, except the obvious tablet:

• Hybrid devices such as Asus Transformer, with Windows 8. There's already a prototype that dual boots Windows 8 and Android. Also, read this article about an Intel prototype: Intel Shows Off Ultrabook-Tablet Hybrid Running Windows 8.
• Laptops with trackpad gesture support. It is already here in primitive form. See this article for details: Windows 8 Release Preview: New Trackpad Gesture Support.
• Laptops with Kinect included. Details about existing prototypes here: Microsoft's latest home for Kinect technology: portable computers.
• Desktops with Kinect for Windows. This technology is already here and I wish Kinect for Windows was available in my home country - Romania - so that I can use it with Windows 8. Since laptops and Windows Phones with Kinect make sense, I think desktops with Kinect make even more sense.
• Touch displays for desktops, laptops and whatever device you want to connect them to. We are all used to high definition displays you can't interact with. But what if they were replaced with touch displays, that also integrated Kinect? Windows 8 at that point would make even more sense.

To complete the picture, there are some cool tablet concepts being shared as well. Details about one such concept can be found here: Hands-on with Microsoft Surface for Windows RT, Touch Cover and Type Cover. A complete evaluation of Windows 8 should include testing its performance and usability on devices like those previously mentioned.

Windows 8 is highly dependent on hardware manufacturers, more than any other operating system ever built. If they innovate and bring to the world exciting new devices, that can take advantage of Windows 8 and what it can do, then people will notice, software developers will notice, the press will notice. If this happens, the both the IT industry and consumers will benefit.

Windows 8 - Microsoft Biggest Bet EVER!

While Windows 8 haters do have some valid arguments, Windows 8 is not going to be as awful as they say. There are many pluses to the hybrid nature of Windows 8 as well as there are shortcomings. Declaring that Windows 8 sucks, without waiting for the final version to show up is a bit short-sighted, especially when Microsoft has declared very openly that there are still many changes to come in the final version.

Personally, I very much appreciate what Microsoft is trying to do with Windows 8. I've noticed many improvements from the Developer Preview to the Release Preview and I believe they will reveal some interesting surprises in the final version. I hope that my opinion will resonate with you and convince you to give a final verdict about Windows 8 only after it is launched. After we get to see real new devices with Windows 8, not just prototypes and ideas.

I very much understand and appreciate Microsoft's end goal - one operating system and one experience on all your devices: your phone, your Xbox, your desktop, your laptop, your tablet, your hybrid computing device you don't yet know how it looks like. I wish them good luck. If they succeed with this vision, they will change how we use computers and devices forever.
