Tasting Vista: Comparison of good and bad six aspects

It took five years to repeatedly vote, and Vista suffered. After the beta version was launched, Microsoft is finally scheduled to launch the official enterprise version on November 30. Let's take a look at some of the six aspects of Windows Vista:

About innovation

is saying:

Gates claims that Vista's release is another major move by Microsoft after the release of Windows. Once it succeeds, its position in Microsoft history will definitely exceed Windows!

Microsoft sources, Vista is Microsoft's most important version of the desktop operating system since the release of Windows 95 in the last century. The user interface is a "revolutionary innovation", colorful and pleasing.

Microsoft Greater China CEO Chen Yongzheng stressed that Microsoft has made careful preparations for Vista from interface management to application development tools, from mobile office to network security. Vista's deeper commercial implications for Microsoft are that it is becoming the "integrated innovation" carrier for its technology and business community.

Xu Shi Consulting senior software analyst Xu Bin pointed out that "Vista is not a purely upgraded version of Windows for Microsoft. It is better to say that Microsoft is spending a lot of time on the new business. Strategy."

Reverse:

Steve Bauer defaults, "In every version of Windows, Microsoft is repeating the same thing, this stupid approach Must be abolished." A huge mistake Microsoft made during the migration from Windows XP to Vista was to create a new software infrastructure for the Vista operating system. The reason for the postponement is that the design incorporates too many innovative technologies, but ignores their requirements for the machine.

Aaron Ricadela bluntly accuses Vista of its fatal ills, thinking that it is like a serious addict, over-reliant on the extensive support of countless weird PC hardware to sustain his life and Vitality, which has seriously prevented Microsoft from developing a modern computer operating system. Microsoft's own programming errors, in the quality of software, have turned Windows into a "system security dung."

IDC analyst Gillen said that we don't think Vista will be any materially different from previous versions.

Comment:

The continuity of the product and the inertia of software development have determined that Vista can only add to the basics of Windows, and it is not possible to be a butterfly.

About Security

Say:

The Microsoft spokesperson said: The company's goal is to provide a complete, innovative, secure, and EU law-compliant version of Windows Vista. In the development of Windows Vista, we have been working closely with our security partners and will continue to do so in the future.

Inverse:

McAfee believes: "They only use one method to protect us. In case of failure, 97% of the world's desktop computer security network will break." Computer users around the world recognize the fact that the most serious security threats exist because of the potential vulnerabilities in the Microsoft operating system itself. "If they think that the security software company is locked outside the core of the operating system, hackers will not It will be unrealistic to crack the core of Vista. In fact, hackers have already succeeded."

Comment:

Security is only relative, technology is constantly improving, absolutely The safety is naturally unreliable. The question is, why did Microsoft not choose McAfee, Symantec to be his security partner?

2, shielding problems to solve
Some friends have encountered several shielding problems when watching the program. In fact, PPStream also gives a lot of solutions.
(1), Windows XP SP2 patch problem
Since the introduction of Windows XP SP2, users have found Windows XP SP2, prohibiting applications from opening more than 10 TCP connections, and for users who frequently use PPStream, This limits the traffic, causing PPStream playback to be slower and has some cards. In fact, PPStream has been on the official website, providing a Windows XP SP2 connection limit patch to solve this problem.
In addition, the PPStream client also provides a crack connection limit function, as long as you select it in the "Help" menu, you can solve this problem. If you have problems with the patch, you can also use the "Restore" feature to recover.

(2) ISP provider problems
Sometimes, ISP providers will block P2P software such as BT for some reason. In this case, don't be afraid. PPStream considers this situation for users and provides a solution to upgrade to a client with version number 1.0.4.595 or higher. Then in the "Tools" menu, select "Options - Network Information", fill out the network information, and then select "My network is restricted by the operator", so that you are not afraid of the ISP provider's blockade, I want to see it.

(3) Host file problem
Sometimes, a few days ago, it is still good, but in a few days, I can't access some of PPStream's websites. In this case, after excluding the above problem, perhaps because the Host file has been modified.
Host file does not seem to have a file suffix, it is actually a plain text file, you can open the editor directly with Notepad, in the Windows subdirectory in the Win9X system, but in the Win2K/XP system, it is placed in Windows ( WinNT)\\System32\\Drivers\\Etc folder. Its role is to contain the mapping between the IP address and the host name. The Windows system stipulates that the system first checks whether there is an IP address mapping relationship in the Hosts file. If yes, the system first calls the IP address mapping. If not, it then submits the domain name resolution to the known DNS server.
In this case, just open the Host file, and then see if there are: 127.0.0.1 ***.***.*** and so on, if any, delete it immediately, save Once you quit, you can solve this problem.

In short, if the problem is not terrible, as long as you carefully observe the problem, and then solve it on the official website, it will solve these problems and watch the program easily.

About the upgrade

Speaking:

Gartner made a suggestion, I hope some companies will wait until 2008 to upgrade the operating system, because by then many third-party products will mature, and Many security upgrades included in Vista are available.

Analysts believe that Windows Vista and 2007 Office will inject a boost into the entire IT industry, not only attracting the attention of up to 200 million new PCs per year, but also accelerating the existing 1 billion PC users. Upgrade.

Watson, vice president of the Microsoft Partner Group, said that due to weak PC sales, the new version of Office and Windows represents an unprecedented opportunity for manufacturers of products based on Microsoft software. They use Vista as the foundation of their business, and Vista will be installed on 250 million new PCs in the next 24 months.

Reverse:

IDC analyst Gillen said that Vista is almost impossible to occupy 20% of the enterprise market after 12 months of release.

Test user expressed dissatisfaction: First, the source installation file is too big! The installation space is at least 8GB. Second, wasting resources! The actual performance improvement is not proportional to the resource requirements. Third, the interface is gorgeous, mainly good-looking, not practical! Fourth, the configuration requirements are too high! Some even sneer at Vista (the name of Wei died) is not good!

Comment:

Vista's interface is really beautiful, but the upgrade is not fun, it is to be a ticket, to 掏A lot of tickets. The fun thing is that PC hardware manufacturers are struggling to see more and more customers paying for Vista, so that they can profit from it.

About piracy

Say:

The Microsoft Vista license file states that the first user of the software can transfer the license to another computer once, and thereafter The transferred computer will become the authorized device.

Microsoft Senior Product Manager Thomas said that users who install Vista on their existing PCs need to activate the operating system within 30 days and pass Microsoft's verification. If the user does not activate Vista in time with a valid product registration code, the system will run in "Function Reduction Mode". In this mode, the user is able to use the one-hour browser, after which the system will "logout" the user.

Reverse:

Industry believes that if you are a legitimate user of Microsoft Windows, a serial number can be used on multiple computers at the same time, and after using Vista, a serial number is only Can be executed on one computer at the same time. Not only does Microsoft have to impose restrictions on illegal use, but even legitimate use is affected.

Comment:

A serial number can only be installed on one computer. It can only be installed once at most. If the user wants to change a new computer and then has a notebook, what should I do? For many users, especially Chinese users, this is a dead hole for genuine Vista.
