Looking back at Windows XP, I found that it is basically a Windows 2000 that adds some features and looks beautiful. For the new version of Windows, the operating system codenamed "Longhorn", we don't think it can be played anymore, but it doesn't need to be raised to another level. We believe that Longhorn should do the following ten things:
1) The new display system
This is the task that Avalon should accomplish. The new display system must allow us to run at the maximum resolution supported by the display, scaled by DPI without affecting software compatibility. In other words, if the NB supports 1600x1200, the user does not need to run at 1024x768 to read the text.
2) advanced search
Google's desktop search software exists because the Windows file search function basically no effect. WinFS should allow users to find what they need in the system instantly.
3) smoother multitasking management
Windows multi-task management is still poor. If it's busy doing something, you can't basically switch and do other work quickly. Windows should learn MacOS X and OS/2.
4)
more components of Microsoft Windows should let the function of each part can be more easily replaced or inherited, the user can always enhance a function.
5) Don't bundle so many useless things
Each new version of Windows always provides some functions that mimic third-party software but can't learn from home, such as the ZIP file format. stand by. We prefer that Microsoft invest resources in those functions that an operating system vendor should have, rather than hinder the development of third-party software vendors.
6) provides network performance
Windows support for LAN still feels pain, even within the search network all the machines pause to tens of seconds, Microsoft should re-examine the habits of web users To make use more intuitive, fast and focused.
7) more efficient memory use
even if you have 2GB of memory and close off virtual memory, or can hear the "creaking" sounds hard. Why do you have to do this?
8) Fix Internet Explorer
First of all should be compatible with
CSS
2.0; improve the intelligence of cache technology
9) Fix secret third-party software licensing method
industry an open Microsoft PC OEM manufacturers to modify its ban first startup screen, some software vendors can only be placed on the desktop to distinguish most other brands, but it is innovative Kill.
10) enhance the security of
Outlook Express is still spyware /spammer's ideal target of attack. Microsoft should not force users to upgrade to Outlook, but should provide some end-user tools to monitor network traffic, such as enhancing the "Network" tab in Task Manager. Viruses such as worms should be stopped at the operating system level. SP2 is a good start, but there is more work to be done.
This is what we expect from Longhorn, the majority of users, what do you expect it to Longhorn? Please leave your thoughts in the comments.
