Además de los rumores sobre la actualización GDR2 para Windows Phone 8, hoy también ha sido noticia otra gran actualización para otro producto de Microsoft. Me estoy refiriendo, como os habéis podido imaginar, a Windows 8.1. Hace pocos días pudimos ver cómo Microsoft mostraba en Computex varias de las características que traerá la nueva versión de Windows. Ahora, además, sabemos que Windows 8.1 vendrá acompañada del rediseño de la Windows Store y de Xbox Music.
Según podemos leer en The Verge, que ha tenido acceso a la última build de Windows 8.1 filtrada, Xbox Music ha sufrido un lavado de cara profundo. El objetivo sería que el usuario pudiera acceder a la música empleando un menor número de clicks. También se habría potenciado la capacidad de Xbox Music de reproducir contenido que el propio usuario tenga en su disco duro. Esperemos que, aparte de en un nuevo diseño, también se trabaje para mejorar la fluidez de la aplicación, que actualmente deja bastante que desear.
Por su parte, la tienda de aplicaciones de Windows también se vería completamente renovada, y adoptaría un diseño más intuitivo que, por cierto, parece que tiene cierto aire a Google Play. Además, se habrían retocado los listados de aplicaciones gratuitas y aplicaciones de pago más destacadas. También habría una sección denominada Picks for you la cual se especula que podría ser un listado de aplicaciones recomendadas para el usuario generado en base a las aplicaciones ya instaladas.
Por último, pero no por ello menos importante, Windows 8.1 también vendría acompañada de una serie de utilidades, como Calculadora, Grabadora de Sonidos o Movie Moments (anteriormente conocida como Movie Maker), que inexplicablemente desaparecieron en la transición entre Windows 7 y Windows 8. Estas utilidades habrían sido adaptadas a la interfaz Modern UI y vendrían a complementar otras aplicaciones completamente nuevas como Reading List, una nueva aplicación cuya principal utilidad sería la de almacenar URL’s de webs que visitamos y cuyo contenido queremos visualizar más adelante.
En la galería que podréis encontrar bajo estas líneas encontraréis varias capturas de pantalla de las novedades de Windows 8.1 que os hemos comentado. ¿Os parecen interesantes o creéis que son poca cosa?
