Mit Windows noch verkaufte handhaben, seine Weise zu über 95 Prozent der Tischrechner zu finden jedes Jahr, es überrascht nicht, daß man viel der Leute finden kann, die an dem Geben ihres Rückgespräches interessiert werden über, welche zukünftige Versionen von Windows tun sollten.

Vor einigen Jahren, bevor Windows Vista sogar versendet hatte, sendet Microsoft eine Wunschliste Form aus, die die Leute fragt, welche Eigenschaften sie in die folgende Version von Windows sehen möchten, z.Z. Code-genannt Windows 7. Die Oberseite wünschen-für Eigenschaften in dieser Liste wurden vor kurzem zur öffentlichkeit ausgelaufen und haben oben an den verschiedenen Aufstellungsorten geknallt (z.B., Neowin). Während anonyme Quellen bei Microsoft uns erklären, daß daß sie tragen, kein Verhältnis zur tatsächlichen Eigenschaft gesetztes Microsoft, schreibt z.Z. für Windows 7, die Liste zur Verfügung stellt interessanten Einblick in, was die Windows-verwendende öffentlichkeit am meisten von Windows wünscht.



Unter die Eigenschaften werden in keinem bestimmten Auftrag verzeichnet, aber sie brechen unten in verschiedene Kategorien abhängig von, welchem Teil von Windows der Eigenschaft Antrag fällt. Viele Anträge für Verbesserungen im Internet Explorer, wie einer Lernabschnittwiederherstellung Funktion, sind ziemlich offensichtliche Wünsche für Eigenschaften, die bereits in den konkurrierenden Produkten wie Firefox und Oper bestehen. Andere Vorschläge, wie ein tabbed Windows Forscher, suchen nach Eigenschaften von den Netzdatenbanksuchroutinen, um in die allgemeine Benutzerschnittstelle abzuwandern.




Einige der Eigenschaft Anträge sind offenbar, wie der Wunsch, Xbox 360 Spiele zum PC „zu unterstützen“ unrealistisch (yeah,…

A new level of the absurd... Windows Vista requires more hardware resources than Microsoft's Windows for Supercomputers.

Yet one operating system is designed to run on home computers while the other is aimed at the high-performance computing (HPC) market. And when it comes to the actual machines, there simply is no contest between the performance delivered by a commercially-available, off-the-shelf PC and a supercomputer.

Super-Windows

With Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 Microsoft made the first step into the high-performance computing market, the initial stage in a strategy set up to make HPC a mundane aspect of the commercial mainstream, in the company's vision. The availability of Windows HPC Server 2008 will be synonymous with the Redmond company gaining ground on parallel supercomputers and computer clusters. Parallel computing represents without a doubt the future direction of evolution for processor architectures, with even Microsoft anticipating the tailoring of the Windows client to multicore infrastructures.



At this point in time the technology is light years away from general consumer implementation, with the market still struggling to move from 32-bit to 64-bit architectures. In fact, Windows 7, the successor of Windows Vista, will continue to be offered in both 32-bit and 64-bit flavors in 2010. But perhaps the biggest challenge of a scenario involving the mainstream adoption of multicore CPUs is related to the creation of an ecosystem of software made up of parallel programs that would integrate with the new processors.



Windows...

Years ago, people used screen savers to protect their monitors and to prevent what geeks call “burn in.”

Burn in, screen burn or phosphor burn in occurs when there is text or a static image that is displayed too long on a screen that’s not active, and a distortion results. Even when turned off, this distortion can be seen on the monitor.

You’d think that with improved CRT technology, screen savers would outlive their usefulness. Far from it. They’re very much around - one, they make your computer screen secure, and two, they’re fun and entertaining. (more…)

One of the perks for using Windows Vista are the icons – not only are they great shortcuts but also are more flexible. When Microsoft introduced Vista, people were rather hesitant to adopt it because they had just gotten used to its predecessor – XP.

But those who wait are missing out on those cute Windows Vista icons that are visually pleasing on the screen – they’re like “signposts” making your work much easier.

Those who have made the transition from XP to Vista will find that the Windows Vista icons are a joy to work with. But first, what’s an icon? (more…)

The one good thing about Windows Vista Themes is that customization is entirely possible. And when you can customize you can naturally personalize. That’s right. Vista allows you to select your own themes in a few easy steps. This allows you to tinker with your computer to make it more attractive and less monotonous – when you want it and how you want it.

A Windows Vista theme is simply a group of customized tweeks that span the entire gamut of menu appearance, icons, colors, fonts, screen savers, background, and yes – even paints!

Let’s start with your desktop because it’s the most logical place to start. To select a desktop theme, perform the following steps: (more…)

I know many of you have heard the good and bad about Vista, but do not want to risk a machine by installing it. Microsoft feels your pain, and has a new website dedicated to giving Vista a spin without any of the trouble.
