As the saying goes – better late than never. Virtual desktops have finally hit the new version of Windows, code-named Threshold.
And what are the virtual desktops? The concepts do not need to explain system users OSX or Ubuntu. Basically, the virtual desktop is a separate working space to your open programs and applications. For example, one instance of the desktop may have an open browser, video player and the game, and the second – Photoshop and Auto CAD-a. This allows for better separation of workspaces and quickly switch between them.
But keep in mind that Threshold has not yet been completed and this function does not need to hit the final version. But we can be sure that your desktop will see its number of significant changes, including the return of the Start Menu, but not only. Waiting for him or flattening of the interface and a number of amendments, which we do not know. This is the first big change since the visual Windows 7 – the eighth generation brought little when it comes to desktop users, focusing on the environment Modern UI.
Microsoft also committed to the development of touch technologies. Apple first introduced on a massive scale capacitive touch screens made of glass and support multi-touch. For good changed the approach manufacturers to design mobile devices. Most of us got used to typing on a small-screen keyboard, but the lack of physical jump and “feel” the keys makes it commit more errors and write slowly.
Researchers at Microsoft Reserach working on technologies haptycznymi (utilizing mechanical communication with users through the sense of touch with the changing forces, vibrations and movements). Thanks to the use of piezoelectric layers is achieved rough sensation, the “jump” key or the local ordinary vibration.
not only theoretical studies – these technologies are presented on prototypes based on, among other things Lumii 520 or keyboard Touch Cover for Surface tablets. If they could be introduced without increasing the thickness of the device, it could be another breakthrough in screen technology – a breakthrough made capacitive multi-touch – if fail to enter these solutions on a mass scale.
