Feel the future: longhorn4051 full experience (2)

In addition, the toolbar can also be used to place small, dynamic applications, such as image reading tools, which can display thumbnails of images. The sidebar seems to occupy a relatively large screen space. If you are using a small display, it is very bad. Fortunately, Microsoft has provided us with several solutions to choose from. First of all, the size of the toolbar can be adjusted, in addition you can hide the side toolbar behind the screen, when you move the mouse up, it will come out, just like QQ, very convenient, huh, huh. Of course, if you wait until the day of Longhorn's release, maybe we've already used a 1920x1080 widescreen display, why bother with these problems? No?

So then, let me talk about the network, here to be divided into several aspects. The machine gets an IP address from the local DHCP server and then accesses the Internet without any problems. You see the following is the home page of Extreme Tech.

Preview version Longhorn's internet explorer has added some new features, such as blocking pop-up ads and download management. This feature should be very useful. For example, if you download a 450MB game demo, if it is interrupted at 400MB, then you can re-download it in IE (maybe Windows XP SP2 will add this feature). It seems that Longhorn is challenging some professional downloading software such as flashgets and ants. Longhorn's IE address bar is also very interesting. When you first launch IE, the address bar is almost invisible, but it only appears when you click on the address.

Unfortunately, we have no way connected to other machines on the network, there have been some problems, but the problem is easy to solve. That's because in order to improve security, Microsoft opened the firewall by default, and the firewall is quite powerful. After we closed the firewall, we successfully connected to other machines on the network.

Pictures, Music

As a multimedia entertainment center of the future, you can't rely on music, pictures and CDs. Even the preview version, Microsoft also matches Longhorn. With Media Player 9, the integration of media files and operating systems is even more powerful, and different media files start to support different Windows browsing colors.

If you look closely at the pop-up context menu, you will notice a media-related item, such as "Add to Playlist".



Figure 11

we see the color configuration is quite different, especially the pop-up context menu. Some of these features have been improved from the current Windows XP, such as "Revert to original." Other fascinating features include "find more pictures on the computer" and "making picture movies", but unfortunately These features are not available, "This feature is not possible." This information keeps us out of the door.

The image previewer is similar to the Windows XP version, but the interface is already a different matter and adds a small feature. In addition to the rotation and file deletion that WIndows XP has, you can also trim, adjust exposure and red-eye reduction. After you perform these functions, you can modify your decision by "forward" and "back" to quickly restore the state before the modification.
