Windows RT 8.1 Experience: performance does not improve

Windows Build Developers Conference keynote and not too mention Windows RT, but released a preview version of Windows 8.1. Windows RT 8.1 is designed to make the subject of ARM processor-based tablet performance to Windows8.1 level. Windows RT 8.1 and Windows 8.1 between slightly different. Now we use to run Windows RT 8.1 of Surface RT, look at what Microsoft is doing to change.

First, in addition to running traditional applications can not be installed, Windows RT 8.1 remains the desktop version of the operating mode, the desktop still retains x86 times the Start button, we see that Microsoft's Windows RT and no sense of themselves, but obviously, Windows continues both on the desktop and mobile operating systems development effort.

One obvious flaw Windows RT performance is not strong enough, we found the first instance on the Surface RT application loading speed is relatively slow, and the performance was not smooth. But Microsoft efforts in the past seven months has made some improvements, updated monthly to make up for the speed of Surface RT flaws, but Windows RT 8.1 and no significant performance boost. We found that certain aspects in the evaluation indeed run more smoothly, but the load application speed is very slow. In Windows RT launch Xbox Music, more cards, especially in the loaded components extremely smooth.

Surface RT supports two applications simultaneously displayed on the desktop, Live Tiles and UI have made improvements. We find Surface RT can not run Office, but Microsoft will be updated to ensure that RT devices can be installed desktop version of Office applications. Windows RT 8.1 also includes Outlook RT desktop applications, but we have not tested this one. Microsoft also is developing Windows 8 style statement of the "Metro" version of Office, expected to debut in the second half.

Highlights of the entire Windows RT 8.1 is not very slightly disappointed, thanks to Microsoft's done a lot of efforts to improve Windows RT 8.1 PC settings, make sure not to switch to desktop mode. Finger touch operation for ARM-based device is kind of upgrade, desktop mode --- despite the presence of many features --- cancellation means that Windows RT 8.1 in the "Metro" mode to run a large number of applications, still more messy.
