Windows 10, version 1709: reviews, features and specifications

Since the official release of the "latest OS" from "Microsoft" it's been quite a long time. And the company is constantly churning out updates for the "tens". Among the most noticeable changes is support for OS "Linux". It is unclear why this was done, but now you can run Windows and use Ubuntu. What else can please a Windows user 10 Fall Creators Update? You need to understand, because the changes are many. However, the practical value of many of them have serious doubts. It is unclear why it was necessary to do it. However, everything in order. Let's start with the interface.

Fluent Design. A new word in the design

At Microsoft realized the same that the standard design of "ten" will not do. But instead of return the components and checked all the fancy "Aero", the company invented some utter Fluent Design. This dynamic change of interface components dependent on producing action. This design included such "features" like background blur in the style of MacOS, use the components of the "material design" and other options that seem "Microsoft" unique and innovative. While Redmond company completely forgets that all this has long been in the "linuxtoday" in the legendary OS and Macs. However, Windows 10 Fall Creators Update the version of 1709 it looks pretty interesting. However, even this is to bring to mind Microsoft failed.

First, the smooth change of the design leaves much to be desired. Secondly, the full support of the new design have only apps from the Windows store. Other programs look just comical. Thirdly, it is highly questionable the possibility of using this design on computers with modest specifications. Overall impressions of the new design is twofold. On the one hand, it's nice to see the desire of Microsoft to make the system better. But on the other - all this is implemented very clumsily. Yet. On the introduction of the new design still need to work for very long. And the company began the mass use of very crude product - Wndows 10 version 1709. The user reviews confirm this idea.

Work with a stylus

To update a huge attention was paid to multi-touch devices and their interaction with the stylus. However, this approach only helps tablet users and those who have touch screen monitors. Other users (and much more) are "left behind". Because it is unclear how this "trick" can be useful for users of classic desktops and laptops. However, the stylus has become recognized better. There are new options, improved handwriting recognition, there is support for emoticons and much more. Also "ten" make life easier for artists. Now to create masterpieces do not have to buy a graphics tablet. Enough of touch monitor and stylus. Windows 10 Fall Creators Update (version 1709) is the most preferred operating system for graphic artists.

Access Spotify and iTunes in the Windows Store

The Now iconic app to control Apple devices available in the Windows store. This is good news for those who use smartphones and tablets from the manufacturer from Cupertino. However, regular users this innovation is absolutely useless. However, current versions of applications already available. They will be updated regularly. Now for the normal interaction of a PC with an iPhone it is not necessary to purchase a "Mac". With the help of these programs it is possible to combine the device "Apple" and computer with "Windows" in one ecosystem, allowing users to access new features of their devices.

Binding of a smartphone to PC

This option in Microsoft decided to implement with the goal of bringing smartphone (no matter what) and the PC in the same ecosystem. But this is not brought to mind. While such a system only able to send links from your phone to your computer with the purpose of continuing work on the full machine. Windows 10 upgrade Fall Creators Update 1709 provides such an opportunity. According to representatives of the company, further functionality options will be expanded. You will also have the ability to reset the incoming call on the PC screen. As in all other cases, Microsoft released unfinished and raw option. Why was it necessary to implement such a possibility, if the sense of it is almost there? This is still unknown.

Power Throttling

Unlike the previous useless innovations, it is little effect on the speed of the operating system and its energy consumption. The bottom line is this: the system looks for apps running in the background, and automatically minimizes the resources allocated to these programs. This "dosing" of the power helps the laptop to operate longer on a single charge of the battery. This reaffirms the idea that Microsoft Windows 10 version 1709 "sharpened" for mobile devices. And the latest includes everyone's favorite laptops. However, the implementation of this option can affect the classic PC. Theoretically it should reduce the load on the CPU and RAM that will allow the aforementioned components to operate longer. At least onea useful "trick" in upgrading from Microsoft.

Wiser Cortana

Not Particularly enjoy, because this helper is not available for our region. And Windows 10 versions of 1709, of which we will examine later, are unable to change anything in this regard. However, the developers of "Microsoft" taught "Cortana" to recognize the dates on the images (for example, posters) and on this basis to plan events. Of course, the "trick" is not so hot. To full artificial intelligence this creature is long gone. What can I say, "cortana" level of intelligence does not even reach "Siri" from Apple. This option to update completely useless for residents of Russia and CIS countries. So dwell it makes no sense.

"Linux" in Windows

One does not fully understand the option "tens". A strange whim of the developers, according to which the operating system has made possible the installation and subsequent startup of the OS "Ubuntu" family "linuxtoday". In Windows 10 version 1709 reviews where mixed, now there is also the possibility of installing and running distributions Fedora and OpenSUSE. Implementation of this option should, in theory, help developers. But the reality is somewhat different. Let's start with the fact that the opportunity to take advantage of this beauty is only for owners of the Pro version on modern hardware. For running in emulation mode. And it takes a considerable amount of resources.

Improved protection

Now consider the possibilities of protecting Windows 10 version 1709. The reviews of those who have already updated say that "Microsoft" paid huge attention to safety. Were closed vulnerability which was used by famous cryptographer WannaCry. Also been redesigned "Windows Defender". Now protection from viruses, exploits, encoders, and other malicious programs even better. Now "ten" can be accurately used without a third-party antivirus. The firmware will cope with all threats. Will only need to regularly update the signatures.

Reviews

Now for the user reviews about the update. You need to pay attention to the upgrade process to Windows 10 to version 1709. Many owners of PCs and notebooks talking about what to do this by using "update Center" in no case should not be. For some reason this method does not work correctly. Many people recommend to install the system from scratch with pre downloaded image from server Microsoft. What is the reason for this situation is unknown. But the company from Redmond lately a lot of problems in this regard.

As for the updates and innovations, here the opinions diverge. The vast majority said that in 1709 there are no worthwhile innovations. Noteworthy only notorious option Power Throttling. It is more useful. Everything else is or is not working, or not working as intended. Many annoying and the fact that the option of binding your phone to the PC and then work with the passed reference is only possible with the use of standard and useless Microsoft Edge. Even with the condition that if the default is other browser.

A Huge wave of discontent was the fact that Microsoft does not repair the old "bugs" and is responsible for implementing new features that introduce new bugs. This attitude of the company towards its products causes dissatisfaction for almost all users. Good epithets in the address of Microsoft the updates are extremely small. And their authors are mostly fans of the company, or paid commentators. In General, experience negative from the Windows 10 version 1709. The user reviews make it clear that we have before us the crude product with a bunch of useless options.

Conclusion

Overview of Windows 10 Fall Creators Update the version of 1709 can be considered completed. Anything new, interesting and useful in this update, according to reviews, no. It is designed for users of touch devices. And owners of classic PC, apparently, the company generally uninteresting.
