Picking up? Hear IT administrators complain about Win7

For the average user, Windows 7 is really a good thing. However, there are many complaints in the stomachs of T-admins of large and medium-sized enterprises. Most of these complaints are accompanied by the upgrade process of Windows 7. Why do they complain? After reading the following content compiled by eweek, you can understand:

1. First, the most direct problem is that there is no direct upgrade for XP systems that currently occupy most desktop computers. The way to Windows 7. In other words, you need to treat these XP systems waiting to be upgraded like a new computer without a system installed. Among these IT administrators, there is a view that Microsoft deliberately does not give XP a direct upgrade to Win7, the purpose is to give a small "retaliation" to those who refused to upgrade Vista users

2. Software backward compatibility is an unavoidable problem. Microsoft has made a lot of efforts in this regard. In addition to improving the backward compatibility of Win7 itself, it also introduced Win7's proprietary function, XP mode, to solve programs that must run on the XP platform. However, although XP mode is very good enough, it has some problems, for example: XP mode slows down system startup and running speed.

3, the driver, this has always been a problem, even if you do not upgrade the system will exist. In the initial stage of Windows 7 release, the lack of drivers is more obvious, and it is really irritating to upgrade Win7 during that time. Fortunately, those vendors quickly followed Microsoft's footsteps, and Win7 exclusive drivers were resolved in a short time.

4, Windows 7 library folder, some people feel good, but there are many users who expressed trouble. The reason is that Windows 7 reclassified and defined user folders. Take "My Documents" as an example. In XP, "My Documents" is the root directory of all personal folders; when it comes to Windows 7, "My Documents" is purely the location of the document files.

5, network (mainly LAN) connection, if all computers are using Windows 7, then can be easily solved through the family group function, but if for some reason there are still XP computers mixed in it, perhaps It will become a disaster. There is an extreme example: an IT administrator spent more than seven hours on a network connection problem, and went to various forums he could think of.

6, the battery problem, that has been reported before the laptop upgrade to Win7 prompts the need to replace the battery, there are still many IT administrators are sending relevant reports to Microsoft, such as The notebook cannot fully charge the battery after the upgrade. However, Microsoft earlier published an official blog saying that the battery replacement prompt is indeed a hidden danger of the battery itself, rather than a problem with this prompt mechanism.

These are the places where IT administrators complain more concentrated, and of course there are other complaints, but in general, compared to the IT administrators who have experienced upgrading Vista, these complaints are now counted. Nothing. Now, more IT administrators are waiting for the release of Windows 7 Service Pack 1, and hope that this patch will solve some of the actual deployment problems.
