Windows 7 can draw on 7 aspects of OS X

From our Windows 7 pre-test version, Windows 7 is still quite promising. It runs faster than Vista, and it also supports multi-touch technology. There are of course 7 aspects of Windows 7 still need to be improved, and this can be used to refer to the current OS X, perhaps to bring Windows 7 A more perfect experience.

1. Simpler product version

Keep it simple. It’s really hard to distinguish with too many versions of Windows. I don’t know Windows 7 yet. Will there be a version like Home, Professional or Ultimate.

Vista has 6 different versions, and OS X 10.5 Leopard has only one version (except for the server version). If Microsoft can reduce the version of Windows 7 to less than half of Vista, it may be guiding Windows 7 A key step in the right direction.

2. New visual effects

From now on, Windows 7 looks a lot like another version of Vista, at least from the interface. Of course this is not a bad thing: each successive version of OS X has a similar look, but the changes in detail give each version its own visual characteristics. Apple understands the impact of a beautiful graphical interface, such as the Time Machine in OS X that takes you to a 3D time tunnel.

These visual features may not have much practicality, but they can hook the user's desires. Just like many people are fascinated by the OS X interface. Microsoft needs to develop some new and interesting interface effects to make Windows 7 stand out from the crowd.

3. Less warnings

The best feature of OS X is probably that most of the time you don't even know that something is on the screen. OS X provides a minimal interface —— it's not a blunt start menu button or taskbar, it contains a simple Dock, if you think something is too unsightly, you can hide it. It never bothers you through a warning window, and Vista's UAC control may cause many people to feel collapsed. Windows 7 does a lot better in this area, allowing you to choose which push messages to display. I hope that developers can continue to work in this direction, users do not want to see the Office Assistant all day appearing on the screen dangling all day.

4. Potential Security and Backup

As the operating system's most critical security technology, it should be ensured that it does not interfere with the normal use of the user. This is much more difficult for Microsoft than Apple, because the current virus and malicious programs are mainly for Windows, especially malicious websites and programs on the Internet. But Microsoft can also learn some security aspects from Apple. Backup is an important aspect of security technology, and Apple is indeed ahead of Microsoft. Why does Apple's system use the Time Machine backup program to simply back up and restore files, but Microsoft's Windows doesn't work? Windows 7 needs to address the performance of the built-in backup program.

5.Clear naming

Microsoft needs to stop unclear naming in its operating system. The best example is "Windows Genuine Advantage"—— literally What is this?

Look at Apple's system, system parameter options have obvious names, such as "Appearance" and "Date and Time". It seems that Windows 7 continues this naming method that Microsoft understands. The Windows Security Center is called "Windows Solution Center", which may seem more explicit, but it still doesn't tell you what it is for.

Another example is the "Device Stage" in Windows 7, which is the device management platform in Windows 7, but in daily life, we often don't call these things "& device", but Name the device directly, such as a camera, printer, etc.

6. No pain" registration method

Comparing with the Windows registration system and the OS X registration system, the former seems to make people feel more painful and even makes you feel like The prisoner fills in his own details, you must register before you can use it. In this process, you have to fill in a long list of product serial numbers, then connect or call to authenticate. If the system finds that your hardware has changed, it may prevent you from logging into your PC.

And in OS X, you don't have to fill in a long list of serial numbers. Microsoft doesn't have to spend so much time on the registration system, it can greatly simplify the process.

7. High-performance search engine

In this regard, Windows 7's performance is not bad. Mac users can access the system's built-in search engine —— via the Spotlight icon on the menu bar. Faster and more accurate. It doesn't have to be too luxurious, but it needs high performance. When Steve Jobs introduced Spotlight, it was no easier to search for a file from the Internet than to search on a computer.
