Vista user Account Control functionality issues Microsoft acknowledges and will optimize

Windows Vista is the latest version of Microsoft's Windows operating system. According to Microsoft, Windows Vista contains hundreds of new features, notably the new version of the graphical user interface and the new interface style called "Windows Aero", the Enhanced Search feature (Windows indexing Service), New multimedia authoring tools, such as Windows DVD Maker, and redesigned network, audio, output (print), and display subsystems. Vista also uses point-to-point technology (PEER-TO-PEER) to enhance the ability of computer systems to communicate in a home network, making it easier to share files and multimedia content between different computers or devices. For developers, Vista uses the. NET Framework version 3.0, which makes it easier for developers to write high quality programs than traditional Windows APIs.

Microsoft has also improved Vista security. One of the most critical aspects of Windows XP is that the system often has security vulnerabilities and is vulnerable to problems such as malware, computer viruses, or cache overflows. To improve the situation, Microsoft President Bill Gates announced in the first half of 2002 a "Trusted Computing policy" (Trustworthy Computing initiative) throughout the company, which aims to work with software development departments across the company, Solve security problems together. Microsoft says it is delaying vista development because it wants to prioritize the security of Windows XP and Windows Server 2003.

During development, a number of groups published negative predictions about Vista. Includes deferred development time, restrictive licensing methods, limited number of new digital rights management technologies that have been added to copy protected digital media, and the usefulness of new features (such as user Account Control).

According to foreign media reports, Microsoft Engineer Ben Fati on the company's Windows 7 blog, "We have noticed that users say they are dissatisfied with the ' User Account Control ' function, users think the hint is too frequent, annoying, and puzzling, we still want users to be able to control the system configuration changes, But we will provide users with a better experience. ”

According to Faati, when Vista was launched, 775,312 stand-alone applications were prompted, mainly because most applications required administrator privileges unnecessarily. The number has been reduced to 168149, he said, as developers have modified the application software based on Vista.

Although the message that the "User Account Control" feature still exists may be disappointing to some users, Faati promises that the "User Account Control" feature in the new version of Windows will be "revolutionized" by user feedback.

' The benefits to the entire industry chain and windows are obvious, and we need to continue to optimize this functionality, ' Faati wrote in a blog.

"We can sacrifice user security for compatibility, but that's not what users like," said Microsoft chief executive Ballmer at a meeting in London. ”
