Test results of Windows Vista Ultimate

(This article is published on in the old blog of the version engineer)

The following are some experiences of installing and testing Windows Vista Ultimate. After use, I think that the hardware level required by this version of Windows is much higher than that of Windows XP. The test PC of the version engineer has 1.5 GB of memory, and it still feels that the card is not smooth. In terms of the convenience and beauty of the operation interface, it seems that Windows XP is not as good as the previous generation. In addition, various types of software compatibility, UAC reminder window pops up too frequently, users must moderately change the operation habits... In the short term, it is not easy for general users to accept Windows Vista.

Some of the following are some of my experiences:

● Built-in. net Framework 3.0, you can also manually remove it; the built-in IIS 7.0 (not installed by default) can create multiple "websites", but cannot match with vs 2003; you can also install VS 2005 and SQL Server 2005 on Vista.

● In the "command prompt character", a large number of Chinese characters, such as netstat /? , Ipconfig /? ,... .

● "Computer Management" or "disk management (diskmgmt. MSC) ", when creating a disk partition, I do not know why I can only create three" Main Disk Partitions "first, and then combine them with an" extended disk partition "and other" Logical Disk drives 」; instead of using an earlier version of Windows, you can choose to create an extended disk partition and A Logical Disk Drive by creating one or two primary disk partitions 」. It may be related to the new bitlocker disk encryption function.

● The Administrator account is disabled by default, but many functions can only be executed for this account (for example, the file format of a sector is changed ), even accounts in the Administrators group do not have the permission to execute these functions in earlier Windows versions.

● Vista is a client OS and does not support the creation of RAID-1 (image) or raid-5 disk arrays; even the raid-1 and raid-5 sectors created by other server versions cannot be read.

● To enable the flip 3D and aero glass functions, you must set "color" to 32 bits (also the default value for Windows XP ), this means that the memory consumed by each pixel on the screen is 32 bits. If your memory is not enough, you often need to execute some dynamic applications.ProgramWe recommend that you set it to 16 bits.

● The new "start" menu integrates the "Start> execute" and "Search" functions in the past, and the search speed is much faster; however, this function and the new "Switch users without logout" function cannot be used in the "Start" menu of the traditional (old-style. This is equivalent to forcing users to get used to the new "start" menu.

● If your screen is still using an old 15-inch LCD, do not upgrade Vista. Because Vista's 1024*768 resolution is in some small-sized LCD, the visible area of the screen is only like the 800*600 Resolution of the old Windows version.

● The New EMD technology can simulate a USB flash drive or general hard disk into memory to improve the operating efficiency of the system. However, the old-style flash drive does not support this function. You must purchase a vista-certified flash drive.

● Controversial User Account Control (UAC) functions appear too frequently. To execute many basic actions, you must click the button one more time to perform the "Confirm" action. The official statement is to prevent malicious programs from causing a greater impact on infected hosts, but therefore it will take several seconds to confirm each action. (This function has been taught on the Internet.ArticleTo teach you how to close it)

● High hardware level requirements: 1 GB of memory is barely enough to run, and 1.5 GB of ddr400 memory is just enough to run.

● Some software and input methods are not supported yet. The Xiami input method cannot be installed with version 5.7 or earlier versions. Only the beta version of the official website of Liu can be downloaded, but it has a validity period.

● The Vista boot file is different from the old Windows version. If you have installed Vista, do not install the old version of Windows. Otherwise, the OS cannot be started on by default.

● Native supports IPv6 communication protocol. In addition, Vista has many built-in hardware drivers (Vista has just been installed, including「Paging」8.7 GB hard disk space is used ).
