The advantages and disadvantages of the fine count Vista

ExtremeTech from the following aspects of Vista is not a not worth upgrading of Windows Me-style products, but a revolutionary operating system:

1, the operating system core has been a new revision. The core of WinXP and 2k has no security design, so only a little bit of patching, and Vista has a big fix on this core. For example, in Vista, some operating systems running in the core mode, while the hardware drivers running in user mode, the core mode requires very high permissions, such as some virus trojans and so it is difficult to damage the core system. Vista's "heap" design is more advanced, convenient for developers, improve their efficiency. In power management also introduced sleep mode, so that our vista can never shut down, but only very low consumption of standby, start-up up very fast, than the current sleep efficiency much higher. Memory management and file system aspects of the introduction of SuperFetch technology, you can use frequently used programs into memory, improve performance, in addition to your background program will not capture a higher level of operation, do not worry about sudden a background program to operate other so that you cannot move. Because the hardware driver operates in user mode, the system is not driven properly, and the driver does not have to reboot.

2, the network integration IPV6 support, firewall efficiency and ease of use, optimize the TCP/IP module, which greatly increase the speed of network connection, wireless network support has also been strengthened.



3, the Media Center module will be built into the home Premium version, the user interface update, support CableCARD, you can watch the cable HD video.

4, audio, audio-driven work in user mode, improve stability, while speed and audio fidelity also improved a lot, built-in speech recognition module, with the volume adjustment for each application.

5, the display aspect, Vista built-in direct X 10, this is Vista only, using more DLLs, not backward-compatible, graphics card quality and speed will be a revolutionary upgrade.

　

6, integrated applications: Replace the System Restore of the new Safedoc feature allows you to automatically create a system of images, the built-in backup tool will be more powerful, many people can use it to replace Ghost; on Vista, Outlook upgrades to Windows Mail, and the search function is very powerful, There are also built-in timeline modules, new picture set programs, Movie Maker, Windows Media player11, and so on are all expected upgrades.

7,aero glass and new user interface, the window supports 3D display to improve work efficiency. Video card is now a shared resource, it is also responsible for the acceleration of windows, coupled with the support of dual-core processors, the future of large games for Windows will not be a big task, open a small window can be run.

8, the redesigned kernel model enhances security, plus a more secure IE7, more efficient Backup tool, and your vista will be much safer.

The disadvantage part: Read the above text, you are not to Vista also stir up? Mr. Steven J. Vaughan-nichols, a veteran network editor, was not, and he saw the headline "Why does Vista look good" the first reaction was: "Ironic?" "He used his experience to prove that Vista was really bad."

In his own Pentium D 2.8GHz dual-core processor, 945G chipset motherboard, 1G memory 250G SATA Hard Drive run VISTA2 month CTP version 5308, the results are very uncomfortable. While satisfying Vista's system requirements, it is not enough to run Microsoft's trumpeted Aero Glass. The man claims that Vista's "suck" is relative, much stronger than Windows XP, but also requires stronger hardware support, and there is no need to upgrade to Vista if you are not going to buy a new computer in 2006.

1, regardless of which version of Vista, the price is outrageous.

2, although Vista has a lot of security to update the core, the core is based on the old, crumbling core. The new kernel is not secure, and one of the proofs is the first Vista security patch for WMF, launched by Microsoft in January. Microsoft does do a lot of cleanup on the core garbage, but like Linux, there's no need to clean up the trash.

3, in terms of memory and heap management, Vista did make a lot of progress, but Linux and MAC OS have been there a few years ago. Developers must rewrite their programs if they are to benefit from this update of Vista.

4, the new SuperFetch technology has been used in many open source GCC software, and Microsoft's design requires a USB disk to act as a buffer between the hard disk and the memory, which is not insured.

5, the Media Center update seems to be just the name, the so-called added to the CableCARD support is only because they have not sold CableCARD for PCs!

6,DIRECTX10 may be great, but now you're buying a video card that is useless! No matter how powerful it is, it doesn't seem to be a more attractive game player.

The better the 7,vista integrated software, the more I'm afraid of the litigation monopolies that Microsoft has created. I can use any software under Linux, most of them are free!

Vista to wait until the end of the year, ExtremeTech people say that still do not know how far vista is better, this man also said that do not know how vista can suck!
