Some unofficial tests have shown that Windows 7 starts faster than Vista, and many users say they "feel" that Windows 7 is running faster than Vista. If you make some improvements to the Vista system, your experience will also rise to the level of Windows 7.
Faster boot speeds
Reason: My two-year-old Acer Aspire desktop computer takes two minutes to start Vista, but it only takes 43 seconds to start Windows 7. In other words, Microsoft is wasting more than 70 seconds of my time every day.
Method: We have a lot of ways to speed up the start-up speed of VISTA/XP. First of all, if you are still using a 1GB memory machine, you should now upgrade to at least 2GB. This is useful for accelerating startup and the speed at which common programs are running. Next: Startup Delayer is a good startup Setup program that allows users to set the boot sequence of the boot program. If you set some minor programs to boot from 10 to 15 after booting, the VISTA/XP system's startup speed drops dramatically.
If your system is already a few years old, the best way to speed up the boot speed is to format the hard drive and reload the system. Although it will take you a lot of time, the system will run faster.
Better user Account Control UAC
Reason: Although the goal is good, UAC has become the biggest problem in Vista. In Windows 7, UAC has moved away from our day-to-day operations, while at the same time ensuring the security of users. Windows 7 Users can select four security levels, and the user can set the frequency of receiving messages based on their circumstances.
Method: Vista users are constantly suffering from UAC, but you can turn UAC off and choose a third-party software alternative. For example, the Norton UAC tool can replace Vista's UAC functionality. Norton UAC not only allows users to set up, but also provides the "No More access" option.
Faster running speed
Why: Is Windows 7 really running faster than Vista? That's not the case. According to data from the PC World Test Center, Windows 7 runs almost as fast as Vista, and it is difficult for users to detect the difference in speed between two systems (see chart below). Of course, we also agree with the testers ' approval of Windows 7 speed, which is called "perception shaping Reality".
Method: Of course, we first need to optimize the vista system enough. In addition, we can use the CCleaner System Cleanup tool. CCleaner can clear temporary files that the Windows system no longer uses to free up more hard disk space. CCleaner can also remove unwanted software from the system files. Therefore, CCleaner can improve the overall performance of the operating system.
Less notification of System information
Reason: While taming UAC, Windows 7 also effectively controls the notification of program information that pops up on the system tray. As a result, the work of Windows 7 users will not be interrupted frequently.
Method: If you do not mind processing the system's registry, then you can completely shut down the Vista system Information notification. Note, however, that you should not change the registry of your system easily. The following are the specific steps:
1. In the beginning of the operation of the menu input "regedit", click OK;
2. Find
hkey_current_user\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\explorer\advanced;
3. In the right window, right-click to select a new DWORD (32-bit) value, and then name it enableballoontips;
4. Right-click the new value, select Modify item, determine that the numeric data has been set to 0;
5. Quit the registration form and reboot the computer.
If you are a Windows XP user, you choose to use Microsoft's TweakUI tool. TweakUI can set the hint bubbles in the taskbar and the Start menu section.
It is reported that the Windows 7 RTM version will be completed on July 13. Microsoft has officially announced on June 2 that Windows7 will be on sale this October 22. Mary Jo Foley, a senior analyst at Microsoft, Mary Joffore that Microsoft will unveil the retail price of Windows 7 this week.
