Windows needs to solve 10 major problems: system bloated security risks

"eWeek" online version lists the top 10 issues that Windows still needs to solve as soon as possible. The following are the main contents:

1. The system is still too bloated

Over the years, Windows Has been very bloated. In a way, this is understandable because Microsoft needs to support applications many years ago. However, for Microsoft, it is time to give up some old applications and hardware. The operating system is too large, which leads to a decline in performance and affects the processing power of the computer. This also causes the operating system to face more security risks.

2. Security issues are obvious

The industry's previous evaluation of Windows 7 includes that Windows 7 is much safer than Vista at the beginning of release. In most ways, this is a fact. However, Windows 7 still faces a number of security issues, including the theft of user data and the complete destruction of the hard drive. In other words, the security issues that affect Windows are obvious and very serious. Microsoft needs to take all steps to prevent hacker attacks from continuing to cause problems.

3. Information security risks are getting more and more serious

As security issues continue to affect Windows users around the world, the information security risks facing Windows 7 are becoming more and more serious. Eliminating a security threat a few years ago is easier than it is today. As more and more computer users' personal information is stolen by hackers, the risks are increasing. In the past few years, many security experts and companies have said that information security threats are getting more serious and more difficult to deal with. Since Windows is still the target of most hackers around the world, Microsoft needs to find ways to improve the current situation.

4. App Store Problems

In January of this year, Apple launched the highly anticipated Mac App Store app store, which helps users for Mac OS X & Snow; Download the app. The app store experience is similar to the app store for iPhone and iPad, making the appeal of Mac OS X systems even better. However, so far, Microsoft has not provided a similar service for Windows 7 developers and users. The longer Windows 7 lacks the App Store service, the more developers will turn to the Mac OS X platform. In the process, users who want more features will also turn to Mac OS X, and Microsoft will not want this scene to appear.

5. Identity crisis has not been resolved

One of the most serious problems Microsoft has faced for many years is that some critics call Microsoft "the evil empire", thinking that Microsoft uses Windows to rule Technology industry. However, analysts have pointed out that Microsoft's position in the technology industry is declining. However, it is undeniable that Microsoft still has a large influence in the market. For this reason, many computer users are turning to other operating systems, while others are trying to do so because they don't want to contribute to Microsoft's wealth and monopoly. Unless Microsoft finds a way to solve the problem, Windows will always be seen as a tool Microsoft uses to rule the world.

6. Cloud Computing

When Google showed the cloud-based Chrome OS operating system, there were many speculations about how Microsoft would respond. Windows is still the number one operating system in the world, but this platform is offline. Can Microsoft launch a competitor to Chrome OS? Will Microsoft ignore Google’s vision? No one can make a definitive answer at the moment. However, the sooner you make a decision, the better for Microsoft.

7.Mac OS X is moving in the right direction

Even though Apple's operating system market share is still not high, it is certain that Mac OS X is a good example of a computer operating system. Mac OS X is lightweight, well designed, and has fewer security issues than Windows. Some people say that Mac OS X has not been tested by large-scale attacks, so it can't assert its security. However, Mac OS X uses sandbox technology and administrator license settings, which helps users avoid some problems. In addition to security, Mac OS X is correct in many ways. Compared to Windows, Mac OS X is a more reliable operating system. If Microsoft offers more Mac OS X-like experiences in Windows 8, it will increase its position in the operating system market.

8. Make enterprise users give up XP

Business users are very important to the success of Windows. If not enough companies choose Windows, then Microsoft is no longer Microsoft. After solving some of the problems brought by Vista through Windows 7, Microsoft hopes that enterprises can give up XP and choose a new version of the operating system. However, so far only some companies have done so. Part of this phenomenon is due to the economic crisis in recent years, which has led companies to tighten their budgets. The other part is due to the uncertainty of whether Windows 7 is conducive to business operations. This year, Microsoft needs to work with enterprise users to make them aware that upgrading to Windows 7 is beneficial.

9. Quiet Vista's anger

It's not just business users who are dissatisfied with Vista. Computer makers such as Dell and Hewlett-Packard even offer users from Vista's "downgrade" to XP. Service. Some individual users think that Vista is too bloated, has flaws in design, and is vulnerable to malware attacks, so it has turned to Mac OS X, even an open source Linux platform. One year after the launch of Windows 7, the dissatisfaction with Vista is gradually subsiding. However, there is still such an emotion in the corporate and personal user markets.

10. Publicity Work

One of the biggest problems that have plagued Windows over the years has been that Microsoft has failed to dominate the discussion around Windows. As mentioned above, there are many criticisms of Windows security, Vista's flaws, and Microsoft's position in the industry. In the future, Microsoft needs to try to lead such discussions, let users talk more about the value of Windows, not the problem. It is difficult to do this at this stage, but it is absolutely necessary to do so.
