A few tips for understanding the new features of Windows 7

Computer Store News In view of the fact that it is so unsatisfactory on Vista, I think Microsoft may draw some opinions from the outside world when developing the next generation of Windows. I have come up with some new features that I would like to see. Here are my suggestions:

1. A SKU version. SKU is the abbreviation of the minimum inventory unit. One of Microsoft's worst decisions on Vista was to break Vista into many SKU versions as much as possible. Vista has appeared in various versions of Vista Home, Vista Professional, and Vegetarian Vista. Each version has more and more features and prices. No matter how much extra income Microsoft can get through this strategy, it may not be able to offset the confusion and dissatisfaction. A technical columnist who did not want to be named complained to me that he had spent a considerable amount of time with Microsoft technical support personnel trying to get his Vista to display the disk, but finally found that the SKU version did not include dynamic disks. Features. If society has to face a single operating system, then at least the benefits of this monopoly should be felt; especially if everyone uses the same software. Vista's SKU problem has forced us to face the worst situation in two aspects: the software strength is reserved and the supplier is a big one.

2. Smart, scalable graphics. The performance of advertising should have been implemented on Vista, but it was abandoned at the last minute. Windows is a bit less friendly to graphics. When you increase the resolution of the display, the icons on the screen will become smaller. This is because Windows still displays these icons in the same size, possibly 256× 256 pixels. But because of the more pixels on the high-resolution screen, the space occupied by these icons becomes smaller. An intelligent graphics system may display icons at the same size, but will use more pixels to create an image with more detail and more detail. With this feature, Windows users can take full advantage of the upcoming ultra-high-definition LCD monitors. Imagine that the text on the computer is not big, but it is as comfortable to read as it is printed.

3. OS snapshots and undo functions. Both Apple and VMWare have first-class and convenient performance. Microsoft can completely steal the teacher and then deny it. Apple's Time Machine software allows you to undo changes to the entire computer, just as you did in a Word file. VMWare software is even better, you can use the snapshots function to backup the state of the system to create a restore point. SnapShot can clearly distinguish the location of the restore point in the system state, and help you draw a tree diagram for reference. Integrating these capabilities saves users a lot of time spent on system maintenance. Found an online spyware this morning? Very simple, you only need to restore your computer to the state of last night. Want to scan all files for viruses? No problem, just let Windows restore to the state where all virus detection programs are installed. After these programs complete the task, you can go back to the slimming version of Windows. Of course, you need plenty of disk space to do this. But when Windows 7 went on the market, it was estimated that the price of a 1TB disk might have been less than $100, which is almost no problem.

4. Open source code. Open source software such as Linux has been seen as the opposite of proprietary software from companies such as Microsoft. But this is a black and white error dichotomy. Why can't Windows expose the source code more widely for user control and monitoring while maintaining proprietary, profit-making, and copying of these special features? If you compare Windows to a car, then you can never open the hood to see what is inside. I used to be aware of the troubles of this problem; at the time my XP took a very long time to load, even the best technicians at Microsoft could not figure out why. But if I can know the secret under the Windows hood, then I might be able to find out the problem (for example, Windows took 90 seconds to find a disk that doesn't exist), and then I got it myself.

5. Make sure the code is working. I know this doesn't sound reasonable, but at least I did have this problem last week. At the time I installed Service Pack 3 for XP, I found that my new Internet Explorer 8 crashed after just two minutes of use. I have to admit that I was working on a particularly complicated job and browsing a lot of web pages, but I still hope that this can be improved. As we all know, the preparation of excellent software should try to avoid large groups of operations, because this will make the programming work lack of democracy. But if a small team is necessary to compile a good Windows 7, then Microsoft's scale is too large, it should set up a programming team for Windows 7 alone. This is the list of performance I envisioned. Now you have to comment.
