Microsoft Windows 7: Linux Desktop

For the past three years, I have been a loyal supporter of Linux, most of the time using Ubuntu, only occasionally want to play games or run CS desktop Using Windows XP.

Due to the poor performance of Vista, I completely lost confidence in the Windows operating system. After the release of Windows 7 Beta 1, I decided to "play" with this new Microsoft product. But this time, my "good" wishes have not been fulfilled. Windows 7 Beta 1 performed very well. In my opinion, if Windows 7 was released instead of Vista, it would be hard to say whether Linux and OS X can reach the current market share on the desktop operating system.

I installed 64-bit Windows on a computer with a quad-core Phenom 9350e processor and 2G fast memory. 7. Although it is slightly slower to install than Linux, the installation process is very simple and easy. operating. One problem is that there is no "eye candy" during the installation process, so I have been worried about whether the installation process will die halfway. I think this may be a beta issue, and the final version should have a solution to the problem.

After the installation, Windows 7 can't find my wireless adapter, but, to be fair, Ubuntu is the same "symptom" after installation. However, after I installed the Vista version of the wireless adapter, this problem was solved. Another problem is that Windows 7 does not recognize my webcam, which is a bit strange because my webcam is produced by Voles. Just as I was preparing to "snip" Microsoft on this issue, Window 7 suggested that I should go to the website to download a driver. After I did it, the problem was solved. Skype also encountered some problems during the installation, but when I downloaded the latest beta version of Skype as directed by Windows 7, the problem disappeared.

When all the software is installed, Windows 7 looks great.

Since you have been using XP or Ubuntu all the time, you may have been numb to the graphical interface. And the graphical interface of Windows 7 definitely makes you shine.

As you can imagine, Windows 7 comes with Internet Explorer. After trying the IE on Windows 7, I started to realize that although I have not encountered any problems with the stability of Windwos 7, But IE has exposed a variety of problems. Finally, I downloaded and installed Firefox, so my interaction with the Internet was on the right track. IE's performance on all aspects of running on Windows 7 is not as good as running on Vista, which is a bit strange. Fortunately, this is not a problem, if you have Firebadger installed.

I also installed Open Office on Windows 7, which works fine. In addition, there is no problem running XP games on Windows 7.
