Microsoft: You have not understood
Makradar Technologies / / December 19, 2019
I stumbled upon a vast web to a whole a remarkable document, Which tells about the heavy routine of Windows Vista, the remaining "misunderstood" by users. Like, this is not Microsoft was not able to create a product that does not meet user expectations, having worked diligently over the features of the sheet that was initially hidden under the code name LonghornAnd we, the users were unable to appreciate the beauty of Vista.
Mol, the UAC and designed to annoy users, who in turn have to pull software developers, requires more than is necessary, the rights to their work. The idea is at least controversial, because and in addition to the UAC in Windows is full of information sources of noise (useless confirmation dialogs, baluns in the tray, reminding that the computer unsafe or «USB device can perform faster" ...), and the user is more likely to blame the operating system itself or simply disable the UAC, than will apply to developers BY.
As for the Display Driver Model and the Aero, it is still possible to agree that the new approach is safer and provides a richer user experience (GUI art of loops windows me once fed up with the order), but in practice things are not so smooth: Aero with the robust design loads the CPU, and in general, the interface often retarding on modern machines. If we believe the former colleagues who tried to use a new engine for processing of three-dimensional dekstopov effects, the gain in performance compared with the CPU is often altogether negative. However, these shortcomings can be attributed to the effects of the "first pancake" at the Apple Quartz also did not immediately earned a full strength, except that the end-user, accustomed to working quickly enough XP does not explain.
Unsuccessful attempts to justify the implementation of the search, I will not even comment. In front of my eyes Spotlight, before there was a huge amount of experience in the use of third-party applications. The user does not matter, so long why Vista searches for files and why search is implemented uncomfortable in Eventually he has the ability to disable indexing and staff to use one of the third party solutions.
In general, the document turned out to be extremely funny, although Microsoft can understand end users obviously did not expect such "transition difficulties" (XP is obsolete, the new system really is not ready yet), and PC assemblers with its "Vista Ready" nevovremya planted Redmondovskoy company pig. However, if Microsoft fails to take a resolute decision by getting rid of legacy technologies, to drive them into a virtual machine, then the situation will only get worse and one "millennium", I mean Vista users can not bear.
However, the situation with other desktop operating systems, too, is far from ideal. Leopard, despite the many improvements over the Tigris, was released in a position toCommonly referred to as the word "beta", and now OS X 10.5.2 works imperfectly as a second (and the memory has become much more demanding). The latest release of Ubuntu also went to from the Linux community, noting "not quite release The" state of the environment. However, and Ubuntu and OS X have the development cycle significantly less than 5 years, and the failures alleged killer-features previously they did not have in my memory. So we can only posochuvstsvovat Windows users who buy new PCs today: XP life cycle is nearing its end and legally buy it already will soon be impossible and manufacturers "iron" are increasingly supplying only driver under Vista. Mythical Windows 7 is unlikely to emerge in the next couple of years, so I have to suffer, hoping that something will change for the better with the release of the next service pack or try to come up with an excuse slips and Microsoft krivorukost Indian programmers.
