Over time, Windows Vista will usher in a day of "wife-in-law". Now that Windows XP is about to delist and Windows 7 is still confusing, please vote for Windows Vista!
Is the cruel fact already presumed that the Windows family can't get rid of the tragic fate of "White Hair" (Windows XP) to "Black Girl" (Windows Vista)?
Figure 1 There is an article prophesying that Windows will have a tragedy for white-haired people to send black-haired people.
The sin of Windows 7 replaced by Windows Vista includes poor performance, falling market share, time-consuming and labor-intensive training, and annoying security tips, etc., and it’s natural to compare it with Windows Vista’s indicators. Old and hard" Windows XP.
In fact, the so-called "crime" mentioned above can be described as "the crime of wanting to add".
As a member of the Windows family, the use of Windows Vista and Windows XP are "small" but more "big". As for the Windows operating system, Windows Vista's operating mode is inseparable from the graphical user interface environment and double-click running and right-click shortcut menu. Because I am accustomed to using Windows XP and the feeling of being unfamiliar in the initial contact with Windows Vista, this is attributed to the crime of Windows Vista, which is unfair to young Windows Vista! Back in those days, when you started to try Windows XP, who would be familiar with the "Start" menu and "Control Panel" functions different from Windows 98 and Windows 2000? Today, we have accused the newer Windows Vista of the habit of spending seven years, which is undoubtedly a manifestation of "historic amnesia."
Figure 2 Windows XP control panel has also been uncomfortable
Since the release of Windows XP SP2, Microsoft has paid more attention to the security performance of the Windows operating system. Security is often based on the premise of sacrificing ease of use. Windows Vista's "User Account Control" (UAC) feature does affect the user's experience. However, just as parents' jealousy is for the health of their children, isn't the Windows Vista security warning designed to keep your computer running safely? In 2004, Windows XP SP2, which is known as "the most luxurious service pack in history", introduced the "Security Center" feature for Windows XP operating system. Isn't it too ridiculous for users' system protection?

After a while, Microsoft security staff published on the TechNet blog "2007 Windows XP and Windows Vista security comparison report". The report pointed out that whether it is from the number of security bulletins and security vulnerabilities, or the urgency analysis of security bulletins, Windows Vista's security performance is significantly better than Windows XP. It is worth mentioning that under the UAC mechanism, a total of 26 security risks in the vulnerabilities discovered by Windows Vista are “surprising”. Paying for the ease of use of the cost of the operating system to improve the security of the operating system, "Microsoft gave up Vista with Windows 7 replaced by" the author of the article how can "dog bite Lu Dongbin, do not know the good heart"!
Figure 4 Windows Vista's security performance is better than Windows XP
There is "too" and no "inferior":
As for Windows Vista performance is even worse than Windows XP SP2 and SP3, It’s even more nonsense to keep falling in market share.
If you have a seven-year-old Windows XP, the hardware requirements are low, the compatibility of the driver is strong, and the hardware requirements of Windows Vista are “high” and drive compatibility. The difference between the disadvantages is that the latter is not as good as the former, which is definitely a partiality to Windows XP! Because the evaluation shows that the performance of Windows Vista running on current mainstream hardware devices is higher than that of Windows XP.

Data on the operating system market share also shows that the Windows operating system is still a market leader, accounting for nearly 90% of the share. Currently, Windows Vista's market share jumped from 0.6% in January 2007 to 8.8% in April 2008. This shows that the development momentum of Windows Vista is still good. Although the market share of Linux and Mac OS S has improved in the same period (the Linux share increased from 3.6% to 3.7%, while Mac OS X increased from 3.8% to 4.6%), but Linux and Mac OS X The market share of the Windows operating system is not caused by Windows Vista - because the market share of Linux and Mac OS X has been around since March 2003, when Windows Vista was not yet born. The upward trend (at the time, Linux and Mac accounted for 2.2% and 1.8% respectively). Momentum
Figure 6 Windows Vista or successful
have "feelings" but lost the "rational":
"Microsoft to abandon Vista replaced by Windows 7," the article also believes that Microsoft's ability to The release of Windows 7 in 2009 is the key to winning user confidence and support. The powerful features of Windows 7 include "Using the Server 2008 kernel as the kernel for Windows 7", "Abandoning the Vista user interface instruction architecture and returning to XP", "Adding an XP-compatible layer... If an application cannot work with the local server 8 kernels are used together, no problem, automatically run this program on XP virtual machine" and so on.
Not so much the author of the above article is a prophet, it is better to say that a defender is more appropriate.
The current time is May 22, 2008, and the calendar will soon turn to 2009... Windows 7 still stays in the concept preview stage, and it will take half a year to a year. Achieving a leap from "nothing" will be difficult! In this case, even if Windows 7 can really "as scheduled" in 2009, with the style of Redmond software giant, the so-called Windows 7 is definitely a replica of Windows Vista SP2. So how does Windows 7 attract the charm of users?
Figure 7 Windows 7 may be launched in 2009?
As we all know, the development code of Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 is also "Longhorn". Both are based on the same kernel, but are functionally focused on different application environments. If the temptation of Windows 7 is to use the kernel of Server 2008, what is the commendable innovation compared to Windows Vista?
As for Windows 7's "user interface instruction architecture...return to XP" and "add a layer compatible with XP" is a nightly talk. If it is unfortunate, it is a retrogression of the historical process and a shame of technological development.
Habits make people inert. At this time, we are sticking to the rules, following the old, dead holding the Windows XP "old ancestor" thighs, or should break the habit, overcome the inertia, with Windows Vista, the "small ancestor" innovation step forward What?
Figure 8 Windows XP ghost will also wander on Windows 7?
Windows Vista is actually very cute:
Windows Vista is certainly not perfect, and has been criticized since the test. We can criticize Windows Vista for the high requirements of hardware systems, poor compatibility, vague definition of Vista Capable tags, shrinking of the three original core performances, etc., but we should not compare them with Windows XP. Over time, many of the problems with Windows Vista will be exhausted by history. Isn't Windows XP coming over like this?
Treating Windows Vista differently, the impression of Windows Vista is very different. Symantec's report believes that major companies still can't afford the "interest" of deploying Windows Vista, and Forrester analysts encourage corporate users to accept the fact that "the waves of the Yangtze River push forward waves" and migrate the operating system to the Windows Vista platform as soon as possible. .
Just a year and a half before the market, the young Windows Vista has not had time to enjoy the thrill of the rivers and lakes, please do not rush to sentence Windows Vista to death! In March 2003, Windows 2000 became the mainstream operating system with a market share of 41.1%, and now it can only hold the 3.3 percentage point of the market and retreat behind the scenes. In March 2003, Windows XP was dominated by a market share of 29.1%, and now it is still proud of its 73.3% market share.
Figure 9 Windows 2000 is also "very mainstream" in March 2003
History will be repeated in Windows XP and Windows Vista. Windows Vista will gradually replace Windows XP as the Windows operating system that everyone is happy with. Windows Vista will usher in a day of "wife-in-law", although the arrival of this day is much slower than the process of Windows XP replacing Windows 2000...
Windows XP is about to delist and Windows 7 is still confusing now Please be friendly to Windows Vista! You will find that "the new generation of Windows operating system" is still very cute.
