I started with Vista, which I personally never touched. I told them that I can't help them on that. Now it's nice and quiet, and the only questions I ever get, can be solved by ssh access to a bash shell. Linux doesn't default to granting root privileges, I know. And you don't need root privileges to delete files out of your own home directory. I could be mistaken there. On the other hand, you could just bundle it up into an RPM, make it look "real" and people will "install" the "video.
If that means typing in their password - which they'd be used to, by now, if they've been installing updates - then they will type it in.
Yes, not everyone follows them, but maybe after a few security problems, they'll learn. Besides, there are still drive-by vulnerabilities to worry about. ASLR, Internet Explorer's Protected stuff which not one of the competitors has , Bitlocker, the new Firewall which finally has a nice group policy settings , service hardening using restricted accounts, NAP inclusion, kernel patch protection, etc.
Are we back to the s belief that IE somehow runs "in the kernel? IE is no more "integrated into the OS" than any other application that uses a system library. IE is no more "integrated into the OS" than any other application that has been chopped up and hidden inside system libraries.
The point of netbooks is to use them for whatever the fuck you want. Just because they are called "netbooks" doesn't mean I'm only allowed to access the internet with them. Upgrading to Windows 7 makes all of these things faster. See the numbers in the article, everything is really quite the same performance-wise. So '7 it is a huge improvement since vista, but not that much since XP In fact in many places XP is still faster, slightly faster, but there we go, speed is not a good reason I thought the point of netbooks was to have a computer for accessing the internet and that's about it.
Last I checked, XP could access the internet. I don't see the point in putting Windows 7 on your netbook at all. Also, when I boot up I can start opening programs as soon as the desktop loads, where in XP the whole system would freeze for seconds at a time during the 60 seconds after a boot, possibly because of the JMicron controller in my SSD.
I'm not sure how I generally feel about the new taskbar in 7 at its default settings i. Windows management features like mouseover-full size Window previews make me feel a lot less claustrophobic in the tiny netbook world, as well. You need to do a clean, minimal, from scratch XP install on your Mini. I did that with mine and don't see any of the things you say you are. Turning off all the pointless XP eye-candy crap really makes it feel snappy.
Faster than XP? I've seen benchmarks, but a clean install of Windows 7 was slower than my old install of XP x It should be noted though that the Windows 7 MS is hyping for netbooks has MANY services disabled, where as they are comparing it to an XP that hasn't be similarly optimized.
For regular hard drive based netbooks, XP pro should still rule. Which may have a lot to do with why XP pro on this netbook. XP loaded slower and ran sluggish on this netbook. It worked but for me it was not running correctly. This goes from the built in malware tools, to even IE running in protected mode so it is technically more secure than running Firefox or Chrome, as the browser doesn't even user level rights. So that if go back through Denver it knows not only how to connect which all OSes should do , but it also knows how to classify the network and flips on the Firewall on the fly and correctly sets all sharing settings based on the profile of the network there.
The speed differences in resume from standby are good, but the hibernate resume features are fast, and when you are trying to rebook flights running through an airport, you appreciate these little things.
There are also the nice corporate features that work better and are handy from newer ways it deals with Offline files and access remote servers, to even NTFS features that do a bit extra to keep previous versions of your documents with you at all times, without even having to back them up every hour.
And this could go on and on and on, as the full list of several thousand features were contrasted between Win7 and XP that really do make things easier and work better than an 8 year old OS. From bluetooth to even having the right printers appear based on what network I'm roaming on at the moment, just little things that are nice.
They are low power computers, and you seem to discount that there are users running Office, and Photoshop, and Corel, and Illustrator, and even playing games on these computers.
There is a difference between getting a crap Web inteface to my documents when at the airport, and actually opening the application they were created in and just editing them. You can also find 'geeks' like myself playing an MMO on netbooks, and sure it isn't 60fps, but fps on a device isn't bad, and ironically, most of the games that the Netbooks can actually run, hold their own and often run faster under Win7, as it does a better job of silencing background processes.
There are also the times, I just want to read an eBook, watch a movie, listen to a book, or listen to music, and then the Netbook becomes the ultimate PMP, and you will find me with headphones on and my Netbook is shoved in my briefcase. Oh and on flights where space is tight, again, they work quire well for movie viewing, you are getting a " screen for you and anyone you travel with and about the same battery life as a gen.
A Netbook is a system with a very low powered single-core CPU. Everything you can do to move things off the CPU makes everything else faster.
And thus making everything else faster, even if it's just looking at a web page that's running some Javascript or Flash. Who, exactly? Anyone who doesn't know what they're doing will blindly buy anything.
They just aren't that compelling. Then add the fact that Vista is new, slower, compatible with less hardware, some of your current software won't work on Vista, and many people find UAC annoying. Most people anyway, have never sat down in front of a Vista machine for long enough to get used to it. Compatibility, seriously? That hasn't been a problem for literally years.
Any computer you buy off the shelf today is going to have compatible hardware and I bet you'd be hard pressed to find individual pieces that are worth buying that aren't compatible. It's true that there isn't a whole lot of big changes to make the transition worthwhile, certainly there's nothing that would make me upgrade an XP machine to Vista.
OTOH, if I were buying a new machine and had the choice, I would, in all honesty, take Vista for the little things if nothing else. Being able to control the volume on a program by program basis is very nice. Being able to search the start bar and individual folders, including things like the control panel is also nice, just to name a couple. The single largest problem with Vista was it's launch, for what it's worth running Vista is actually quite enjoyable for me. All have the pluses and minuses, I'm just trying to dispel a bit of the bad reputation that Vista unfairly IMO has.
I don't have to cook and eat a pork chop to figure out that it's rotten. The smell is enough of a clue. Intel describes a netbook as a platform for playing media and a notebook as a platfrom for creating media.
So what Windows 7 is aimed for? Play or create media? If you put both for a netbook, you just waste lots of cpu power for bloat you add in order to create new media. It's marketing drivel. Don't give it anymore consideration than that. I use my Acer Aspire One to do video encoding, and I don't give a damn what the marketing people say. Windows 7 betas have been greeted with remarkable positive press. Imagine thinking those little things are computers! So we're releasing what we call Windows 7 Dumbass Edition tm.
It lets you log in and look at the shiny. Even Spider Solitaire has the ribbon toolbar! And you can buy an upgrade to the version that runs programs!
It lets you do that! Dumbass Edition tm comes with pre-installed viruses to make the computer part of the Storm, Conficker and FBI botnets.
Obviously they're upset and hysterical. In future news, Microsoft Corporation has announced a limited one-off extension of availability of its Windows XP operating system to April after criticism from large customers and analysts. Illustration: Steve Ballmer's joyous expression [today. Ok, the article isn't off the scale in terms of inaccuracy, but when you see comments like this, how can you trust anything they do or say? Aero is NOT disabled when unplugged; instead, translucency is turned off.
Aero itself remains enabled. I know people confuse 'Glass' and 'Aero' and 'DWM' and what the OS, but come on this is a technical review right, shouldn't they get the basic facts that you find on Wikipedia correct or at least maybe, just maybe have a clue themselves? There are other more subtle errors in the article, and even though it basically says Win7 is doing fine.
However, do you notice it forgets to mention that Win7 is performing as well as XP while having search, defender and many other 'heavy' features working properly and still performing as well as XP on a very modest CPU and GPU platform. XP ran fine, but it wasn't particularly pleasing to the eye and had some issues running multiple programs at once.
Ubuntu looked marginally better but performance wise it was terrible, I couldn't watch a flash video without it seizing up. Windows Seven looks pretty, runs faster than XP and is just better overall.
Actually, many open-source drivers do not have hardware support for playing video on the graphics chip. Regardless of the reason for this and it may be impossible to fix if they are closed up , Ubuntu is very poor at playing Flash video depending on the chip. On one machine at home, they emulate hardware speedup in the driver using software, but Flash actually does better with it turned off. That's Adobe's problem, not Ubuntu's. Videos in every player other than Flash will work fine.
Last time I checked, if you want to surf the web and watch videos, most of those videos are going to be in Flash format Youtube, etc. So why would I want to run Ubuntu on a netbook when you can't watch videos on arguably the most popular website for online videos? But to the users, its not Adobe's problem. Adobe works fine on their windows machine, so it must be Linux's fault that they can't watch their favorite video's on Hulu.
Its a nasty double edged sword, since Adobe won't care till it hits a critical mass of users, and it won't hit a critical mass, if its crap. I have the Flash issue even on a dual core laptop running Ubuntu 9. It's annoying. Every time I mention it, though, the same answer comes up: it's a problem with flash, not Ubuntu. That may be true, but it's still making it much more annoying and difficult to watch Flash videos, no matter whose fault it is.
Average User tm is not going to say "Oh well. I can live without being able to watch youtube videos easily. So, in my interpretation, the Windows 7 netbook had slightly shorter battery life, and performed slightly worse in all but two benchmarks. One of those two was dealing with "next generation gaming performance" that really isn't point of netbooks, and the other was essentially identical to the XP performance.
And the conclusion the reviewers take from this is that Windows 7 is good? Just because it isn't as bad as Vista, and isn't too much worse than XP? With these sorts of results, XP is going to be with us for a long time.
Why is it so hard for Microsoft to make something comparable? You would have a hard time convincing me that security can be implemented at no CPU cost and running IE in a sandbox has huge advantages. So what's not to like? Yes, that's good, isn't it? A 7 year old OS vs. I'd say that's pretty good. Hardware is better, so OS's can plan on using more of it. Bare in mind that netbook hardware is most certainly anything but current.
Performance is roughly equivalent to a 5 year old Pentium M. The only difference is that it has been shrunk and power consumption reduced to the point where 5 year old mid class laptop has been reduced significantly in size.
Running Win 7 on a modern mobile Core 2 Duo CPU would give a much better comparison, and really show the true benefits it has. Now Microsoft is facing the same game from the other end. Very carefully timed announcement by Google that all the OS you would need to run a netbook is coming soon. Vendors do not commit wholeheartedly to Microsoft. Device driver writers do not just hack something that will work in Windows alone and be done with it.
Consumers also do not rush out to buy the latest and greatest. Corporations add another action to their evaluation. That buys some time. Most vendors cite Chrome OS and demand hefty discount for Win7 in netbook market. Microsoft is forced to sell its OS at bargain basement prices in the fastest growing segment of PC market. Let's see Microsoft has addressed most of the pitfalls of Windows Vista on a netbook by increasing battery life and performance to be very close to that of the lighter-weight Windows XP.
What a fracking joke! That the new product is almost as good as the 7 year old one that it replaces. MS isn't improving the performance or security of their operating system. Instead, they are simply cramming more products in and calling the monstrosity an "operating system" - in an effort to expand into more markets.
MS just fixed and tweaked what was wrong with Vista without promising or adding a bajillion new features. Security is a lot better, with many exploits for XP that are coming out not working on Vista or 7.
Intel has announced 8-core CPUs. And yet the "new" its basically a rebranded Vista Windows 7 will barely take advantage of any of them other than the first.. Why link to outdated speculation? Check these real tests and benchmarks out instead. Even Slashdot linked to it. All this astroturfed media about how great Win7 is and how it is going to kick butt on netbooks. They always forget the one critical problem. The only way XP clawed market share away from the penguin was by Microsoft basically giving it away.
They aren't planning on giving 7 away so there is going to be a five tiered price structure on netbooks and that is about three too many. Does anyone think WinCE will be the big winner in this market? Ok, maybe they can horn their way in by Xmas '11 but the rumormill hasn't been talking WinCE it has been Android and a little Ubuntu with most trying to roll their own.
Go look at the HP Mini Mi if you want to see how low x86 hardware can get without the Microsoft tax. Hasn't shipped yet but we can assume it will cost at least as much as XP. Odds are it will be mostly useful as a platform to harvest the customer's credit card to upgrade to a more complete edition. In this economy?
Anyone remember why the netbook revolution got started in the first place? Wasn't price as big a factor as the form factor? Ok, so how will the marketplace solve the 'too many SKU problem'? Starter will probably get ditched as a customer relations nightmare.
Linux on x86 will probably finish its vanishing act from retail although a few online sellers might continue if the sales are there. That gets from five to three. If most pay XP dies, if not Vista's copy progress dialog doesn't even tell you the name of the file you're copying any more. It only tells you part of the path it comes from. XP gives you the filename and full path. If you move a folder containing files to a different place that already has a folder with the same name, XP merges them properly.
Even with UAC turned off, Vista comes up with a supremely annoying dialog to confirm each file in turn, and even after a succesful move, the source folder is left behind. If there's even one file in a folder that Vista thinks might be a media file, it presents the file list of the whole folder with media attributes instead of 'all files' attributes by default. It does this every time you create a new foler and you can't turn off or even force it to use a particular profile.
Vista still forgets window settings even if you set "remember each windows settings". This is a problem way back to Windows95 I think. I just tried for kicks Click that, popup doesnt happen again. Thats with a folder with a very complex directory tree and thousands of files I tried with a backup, basically. You're right about the file copy progress though. It gives you the entir. Well not quite.
There are bit Atom processors. However, they're currently not being used in the mini-notebooks. Those are currently use the N series of chips which are bit only. But ok, whatever, fuck it, Intel was still flogging bit CPUs for some reason, and people are morons. But Windows 7? Because having 2 versions makes shit harder for those who make hardware, for consumers who are confused, and for software developers, who will take the lazy route and support bit primarily, while shafting the bit users with shoddy, half-assed implementations and support.
In many cases you can get more than double the performance vs bit anything to do with photos, audio, video, etc. The market of "people not ready to upgrade their bit hardware looking for a new OS" is statistically insignificant. Anyone know if the XP-mode of Windows 7 is available in the bit version? I haven't tried it. PAE, which allows up to 36GB on bit. Intel has another bit architecture, dontchaknow They didn't license the amd64 instruction until Microsoft decided to embrace "X Intel Atom - N and Z series cannot execute the x instruction set.
Aren't netbooks in which those Atom processors are used major part of Windows 7 implementation? Isn't it what this article is about? Where is the securty? Is this the right hotel? Even if you could, not all of the Atom processors support EMT64, though the most-popular ones do. The i has been around for 20 years now, amd64 not so long. The compilers haven't quite caught up. To Microsoft's credit, they are requiring bit for a lot of their enterprise products now.
You probably meant the most popular ones don't. Only the desktop versions of Atom and support 64bits and those are very rare. The most popular are the N and Z series which you find in most if not all netbooks and UMPCs and those are 32bits only.
I disagree. Se los puede subir a otro servidor? Muchisimas gracias por tus aportes Hola man puedes volver a colgar el windows loade para 7 ultimate se a debido caer Gracias.. El link del activador de windows 7 64 bits no funciona, me puedes ayudar gracias. Yo descargue el windows 7 ultimate.
