Vista trial experience notes

I got a vista CD yesterday, so I tried it on my machine. Based on my experience record, different environments may have different discrepancies. I hope I can give you a reference.

The machine is a 0658he1 notebook of the IBM r60e series. Although it is designed for WindowsXP, it is also Vista capable. I think the configuration of the machine is still very good. In terms of the four major services running server2003 and sqlserver2005, with a later 512 memory, the memory consumption is always below 1 GB, of course, it is disabled when development is not performed.

First, during the installation process, I remember what Microsoft forum once said that XP was installed for 35 minutes, while Vista was only for 20-25 minutes. I personally don't agree with this, but I think it's almost the same to describe the two times. during the installation process, the interface should be much more friendly. Basically, Vista can be installed only when XP is installed. I believe that if a friend needs to call me to install Vista While redoing the system, it is easier to describe the installation process to them than XP, because the installation process and interface are indeed easier to "understand" than before, and there seems to be less "special emphasis" for friends.

Second, compatibility issues. after I installed it, it seems that this compatibility problem is more serious than the earlier XP problem with Win9x, even when visual studio2005 is installed, it indicates that it has a compatibility problem with the current Windows version. However, I ignored the prompt and it seems that there is no problem from now on, however, QQ will not work. If you dare to ignore the prompt, Vista will show you the blue face. by the way, Vista's blue screen seems to be no different from XP's. the trial run of the two games pes6 and Ghost Dancer 3 under server2003 to play on the installed Vista. In my configuration, the screen will be stuck so "a little ", it is not as "perfect" in server2003, but it can be run in any case.

Resource consumption. I have heard that it is much higher than the previous system, but after installing the IBM (Lenovo) driver and vs2005, the current CPU is basically swaying below 20% (of course, this is also the case in server2003), and the memory is much higher than I used server2003. Compared with server2003, when the is, RS, and as services like sqlserver2005 are not enabled, the memory consumption is only 40%, and I am currently 45%. for SharePoint service V3, I can't imagine what it will do. In short, I am afraid to install it in my notebook, because I still have no plans to use my notebook for barbecue.

In addition, the icon (UI) changes greatly, and it is difficult to recognize the icon in the lower right without looking at the prompt. However, this UI change still represents progress. the kind of administrator user authentication inherent in Vista is, for example, I want to execute a systemProgramI think it is of little use to developers. When I installed vs2005 with beta2 earlier, I published it to IIS because there is always a problem with this, I believe that most of my friends will give this to "take" when using it. the glass tile effect is really good. You can renew it. also, iis7 has changed a lot and it seems that you need to learn more. when talking about the UI, I have always felt that the user validation and the Vista sidebar mentioned just now have always been associated with the two Asp.net Ajax controls. Specifically, the latter is like webpart.

The support for peripheral hardware does not end up being as "difficult" as server2003. Of course, it is also very comfortable in xp. For example, Bluetooth is basically the same as XP, there was no problem with accessing the Internet through the mobile phone. Nokia QD passed the test and dopod696 had not yet tried. the support for these and multimedia devices is initially better than that of XP. we also need to talk about the hardware. When I installed server2003 earlier, I had to drive everything, including the NIC. When I installed Vista this time, I found that only the volume adjustment buttons in the notebook need to be "driven" by myself. Vista can be recognized by other devices. Basically, the Device Manager cannot see too many question marks and exclamation points.

Finally, emphasize the configurations officially recommended. I have never tried a minimum of 512 memory, but the recommended configuration of 1 GB still feels that resources are relatively tight. for developers, services such as Oracle and sqlserver should be enabled, 2G seems to be the best environment. in contrast, the current 1g memory running feeling is similar to when XP was released, with a 128 memory machine, I personally predict that the machines with pure Vista capable may be similar to those with 64 MB memory used to install XP. from the perspective of the overall default design, Microsoft still takes care of most non-professional users. After you get it, you may need to modify the settings in many places according to your usage habits, however, this will also help you understand Microsoft's design.
