The installation of Vista system is unreasonable in many settings

March 15, the United States, "business Weekly" wrote that, because Microsoft Vista new generation operating system needs a higher configuration, it is difficult to run, and Vista brings more outstanding performance at the same time, also brings a lot of inconvenience. The following are the main contents of the article:

January 30, 2007, Microsoft released the Chinese version of Vista.

Vista has more outstanding performance than previous operating systems. But for users who are accustomed to using the Windows operating system, there are some things that are not comfortable with Vista, causing a lot of inconvenience.

Low Computer configuration is slow to run

First, the Vista operating system requires a higher configuration of the computer, otherwise it will be slow to run. It can be said that a "qualified Vista computer" to have a ram MB of memory, and 2GB of memory is equipped to enable Vista to achieve a good degree of fluency.

Second, the more troubling thing is that Microsoft has introduced a new technology in Vista to improve the security of the system, which is "User Account Control (CONTROL,UAC)." It requires all users to run programs and tasks in standard account mode. The system prevents the installation of unauthorized programs and prevents standard users from making improper system setup changes. In this way, users must continue to make meaningless confirmation window clicks before changing system settings, installing programs, or upgrading antivirus software. While UAC can effectively prevent the installation of malicious programs and prevent malicious code from causing havoc at critical times, Microsoft's added feature of Vista adds a "chicken-side" question-and-answer process that has left you on the verge of madness.

Account Control is like a chicken

One of my personal experiences has proved this. At the time, I was using a computer with a Vista operating system installed, and suddenly the security scanner Windows OneCare a window and asked me if I allowed a program called Wercon.exe to connect to the network. So I clicked on the "OK" button, and Vista popped up a new dialog box asking me if I was executing the OneCare program. You might think that Vista should be able to determine whether a program is going to be done on a variety of security control options, but Vista leaves it to the user to deal with.

However, UAC also has a certain risk factor for restricting children's use of computers. People can create a permission account, set the child's Web site browsing scope, available programs, games and computer use time, and other conditions, you can export the computer to use historical data, to view all the children's chat record and use history. Once a child uses a non-privileged account to operate a series of questions about UAC, they will lift any restrictions on the use of the computer.

Unfortunately, if the UAC user control is turned off, the computer will lose its security protection function. Symantec software company researcher Orlando Padilla, after studying Vista's security, found that Vista's ability to resist malware is only equivalent to Windows XP if the system loses UAC functionality. Windows installs any new software and changes system settings without prior notification to the user. Vista's UAC features require users to repeatedly click on meaningless confirmation windows. However, the UAC feature in the MAC OS X operating system is a bit better than it is, because it only pops up a dialog box that requires user confirmation when the software is installed and upgraded.

Common features Hide

In addition, the Vista system interface hides some of the features that are commonly used for Windows XP operating systems. For example, the "My Network" option, the Vista operating system's options are placed in the main menu and named "Network," but this option does not contain any network settings.
