Gates said: Windows Vista is still not mature

As Microsoft's next-generation operating system, Windows Vista has always been the focus of the industry, every week we will get the latest news from Microsoft testers and industry analysts, Microsoft itself through the Live platform Continuous improvement to gradually provide a soft platform for Vista transition. However, in the face of Vista's new build release, the problems and vulnerabilities have become more prominent and clear. More and more professionals in the industry are beginning to worry: Can Vista be on schedule?

Even the venerable Uncle Gates is only 80% sure of Vista's non-jumping. In the industry, such as Paul Thurrott, perhaps 80% of expectations are still too high.

In our latest test, Vista's new version has indeed improved in terms of driver and stability compared to Beta 2, but the question is, how much difference does these improvements have for the official shipment of Vista?

Vista's imperfect case is almost ready to pick up.

"When using Explorer, I suddenly need to access a file on a local shared network. In XP, you can access it directly through My Networks in the task pane. There is no task panel in Vista. Settings, Vista's new favorite link panel does not provide a default link (of course, you can add links yourself, but that's not Microsoft's credit, isn't it?). So, you need to go to the Network from the Start menu, then Wait... Wait... Wait... Wait... Wait for the damn Vista to finally find all the PCs and servers in the LAN---In XP, this is just something that can be done in an instant."

Software compatibility, Vista also has a long way to go - IE 7.0 ActiveX support issues, Aero Glass user interface compatibility issues and a variety of small bugs.

"I believe Microsoft will complete Vista by October 25? Yes, I believe. However, I also believe that Microsoft will release a large number of patches between October 2006 and January 2007 to fix it. The first official version of Vista - don't forget, October's Vista is a commercial version of the scale license, for business users, it is absolutely impossible to install this operating system that still requires large-scale patch."

Vista has a long way to go, and Microsoft has a long way to go. For a long time to come, Microsoft and global Vista testers will spend a lot of time on Vista testing and de-worming. The coming will always come, as the meaning of Vista itself - we will look to the future.
