Since the high-profile listing at the end of October, Windows7 has been praised by many as Microsoft's best operating system. But there is no perfect operating system in the world, and Windows 7 is the same. Windows7 has won praise from many users. Some users said in the Microsoft forum that Windows 7 has significantly improved boot time, and is better able to recover from hibernation and network access faster. There are also users who appreciate the superior disk performance of Windows 7, a simpler design and longer battery life, and so on.
Although Windows7 has many advantages, but it is not perfect. Here are seven Windows7 fly in the ointment:
1, Windows7 does not contain some of the early Windows
elements in order to reduce the number of bloated software and improve performance, Windows7 removed WindowsMessenger, MovIEMaker and LiveMail And other products. LiveMail is an e-mail client launched in 2007 to replace XP's Outlook Express and Vista's WindowsMail.
if you never use these products, it would not mind, after all, the future can re-install the software at any time. But if you are a long-time user of Windows Messenger and don't think that Microsoft will remove the software, you may be troubled by where to look for it.
2, Windows7
lack of support for older printers and other peripherals as Microsoft adopted a more stringent review process compatible peripherals, so many drivers peripherals not currently Used in Windows 7, although this operating system has been released for a full 6 weeks. If you first come into contact with a 64-bit operating system via Windows 7, the problem with peripherals will be even worse.
if your hardware supports 64-bit Windows, so the previous 64-bit Vista, 64-bit and Windows7 also requires drivers included with digitally signed for security reasons. So if you have an older printer or a camera, I am afraid it will only hurt.
3, Windows7 forced to adapt to the new user interface
in the development process, Microsoft Windows7 interface were a number of changes to increase the jump menu (JumpLists), a key WiFi (One-ClickWiFi ), HomeGroup and DeviceStage and other features, but also some improvements to the user interface, such as AeroSnap and Aeroshake.
some of these features really useful. For example, HomeGroup makes it easy to create a home network, while DeviceStage helps users manage peripherals such as printers and phones. AeroSnap can quickly adjust the size of the desktop window. But any changes need to have a certain adaptation process, so if you are nervous at the current time, you may choose to postpone the upgrade of Windows7 until the time is sufficient.
4, Windows7 virus can not "immune"
In fact, there is no immunity for Which operating system to computer viruses. But in the test of Windows 7, security company Sohpos tested a total of 10 viruses. The results show that if Windows 7 default user account control (UAC) settings are used, the system will infect 8 of the 10 viruses.
British security firm Prevx recently has also said, Windows7, Vista and XP users to install the latest patches after the black screen of death issue. However, the number of affected users is very small, only a few thousand or even hundreds. Prevx eventually admitted that the issue was not related to the Microsoft patch and apologized to Microsoft. The Trojan virus may be the real cause of the black screen of death.
but with previous versions of Windows, Microsoft has not built any anti-virus software in Windows7. This is also an aspect of Microsoft's failure to learn lessons.
5, Windows7 install a lot of trouble, especially to upgrade from XP to Windows7
Although many users are able to successfully install Windows7, but there are many users run into some trouble, including endless reboot And issues such as invalid product keys. The upgrade from XP is especially painful. Microsoft officials don't even support XP to Windows 7 upgrades.
A user that Microsoft support forum, Windows7 perhaps in order to solve the problems faced by Vista users. So it does not support XP upgrades, which is very disappointing.
there is one user said the upgrade from XP to Windows7 is not the average user can get done. Previously, when upgrading from the old system to XP, just click "Next" and then enter the registration code, then continue to click "Next". But Windows 7 requires very cumbersome programs.
pricing 6, Windows7 is too high and too complex
businesses and households are currently in budget cuts, but also why Microsoft insists charge 100-300 it? Windows7 testers only The upgrade CD can be obtained for $50, and the latest version of MacOS is $29. The Linux distribution can even be downloaded for free. Although there are some discounts and users can buy cheaper OEM versions, Microsoft has not promoted these promotions.
In addition, Microsoft Why try to turn it into a multi-functional operating system and prices of different versions of it? Is not complicated enough to install Windows7 it?
customer service 7, Windows7 not place
many users have said that Microsoft's customer service phone call failed after Microsoft forced users to access multiple forums. In general, if you are unable to contact the customer service representative through the hotline, it indicates that there is a problem with the customer service work. After
even officially listed in Windows7, Microsoft TechNet Support Forum work is still not in place. The customer service representative did answer some of the user's questions very well, but there are still many questions that have not been answered. Sometimes there will even be a problem with multiple different answers. One user said: "Here I can only say that the same version of Vista to upgrade to Windows7, but says Microsoft home page can upgrade from any version in the end what Dui.?"
Microsoft has revealed that early sales of Windows7 far more than Vista, but Microsoft is whether to deploy sufficient customer service personnel to resolve the problem then?
credit, Microsoft is deploying a number of new customer service channels, including a built-in system troubleshooting procedures, and New supplements and support for customers via Twitter, and related forums can usually answer user questions within hours. However, when a user encounters a serious system error, it still cannot be properly handled.
