EXPERIENCE WITH WINDOWS SEVEN

My name is Esteban, is 26 years old, is Operating technician, Programmer and Analyst in Computer science and in spite of being registered in Taringa! it does already more than 2 years. This he is first post that I do with a subject that really is worth the trouble to postear. It does not interest to me to be Full-User although I am going to be to them sincere: it gives much quarrel to find a person who postea something that I have been looking for a long time and not to be able to say “black Che to him… from you removed where it to the program? I come it looking for makes band of time Thank you very much” although it is deserved that is shouted it in the face: GRRRAACIAASSS! And to leave puntines him. Therefore I what I want am commentaries, opinions (without forum is armed) and that it serves as something this humble contribution.

I am going to happen to them to comment what they are these last 6 days with Seven Windows and that factors took to me to put it like unique operating system of my computer.
It would want to clarify before they jump the Linuxeros, that from year 1998 I frequent world GNU with the first distribution in Spanish which I bought with its corresponding packaging (book, manual, extended support to them) for that one CONNECTIVE time LINUX based on RedHat 6, happening until today through: 9 RedHat 7,2, Mandrake and its predecessor Mandriva, Debian, SUSE, Slackware, and for about 3 years so commented Ubuntu.
So I repeat, before they jump; they read post, I know the Linux world very well understand that it is not for being inferior it but to speak of the characteristics of the new Seven Windows.



Beginning describing the used computer to prove the Seven Windows:

Additional and Peripheral:
1 Printer EPSON C92 by USB
1 Webcam Kocom 88i by USB
1 generic GamePad with Vibrator by USB

1 Wi-Fi Antenna that comes built-in the Mother
1 Cable CA-42 to connect Nokia 6020
1 Digital Chamber Nikkon L14 of 7,1 MP
1 MP4 of 2da Generation of 2 GB



First that I did very same day 9 when it was finished unloading it went to record it to a DVD and to install it in a virtual machine running under WindowsXP SP3 to which I nothing else put 2048 of ram and priority to him for the use of 2 nuclei. This one installation from the reading IDE I have been 22 minutes of clock (counted) until I had in front of my the writing-desk. By questions of compatibility of my old version of VMWARE 6 it did not have the active Aero since the surroundings are Direct3D no acceleration nevertheless generally seemed incredibly fluid. I am not going to lie to them worked very well with as soon as the 8 MB of video that reserves the virtual machine to the video. That installation did not last nor 2 hours to me that I happened to create backup of my loose things in the writing-desk and my temptation to see it walk with the 100% of the computer made me create a partition of 16 GB in which to install it and to begin little by little to prove all the programs that I frequent and drivers of devices that I have.
Arriving the 02:00 hs of the 10 from January I began to directly install it from the recorded DVD. This one installation from SAT recorder I take until I opposite had the writing-desk mine 16 minutes (counted with clock).



Neither or it finishes appearing the writing-desk of which I am going to make a section later, we were with the same assistants of VISTA Windows who allow us to form the users and the infrastructure that has our network.
By questions of own organization I do not like to use another account that is not the one of administrator reason why to this initial assistant I put ASDJFKZARAZA to him as user name and I eliminated soon it from the equipment administrator.
Them request to do just like I, consider that the account administrator comes deshabilitada by defect so when eliminating user ASDJFKZARAZA enters the properties of the account Administrator and thus removes the tilde to the option “Disabled” when they reinitiate the computer directly takes the session to them of Administrator.
With respect to the other part of the initial assistant, the unique difference that I found, is that, since makes Windows SERVER 2008, to share archives within our dominion we can “protect” the archives with a password.



The first starting when it finishes settling and it reinitiates for the first time… leaves very many that to wish. It approximately takes about 60 seconds, nevertheless after installing drivers of video, sound and the very same ESET Smart Security the starting since apreto the button of ignition of my computer takes about 25 seconds (timed) equal I even clarify is reativo, sometimes takes but sometimes less, but it does not surpass the 30 seconds in the worse one of the cases. They consider that 70% of the programs some unnecessary entrance in the starting generate, so they are cleaning the entrance “Run” and “RunOnce” of the registry, with some program allows that it (except the TuneUp) later I explain so that, and after reinitiated 3 or 4 they are going to notice that the starting of UNDER is very many but quick that WindowsXP even. Please they do not come to me to compare against a SuricataOS or some unheeded one of nastiness because if we began to remove services that are unnecessary in Windows 7 (thing that I did) I assure to them that it takes that those far better. In my case the attending software of the sound plate is quite heavy in the load, is the one that more use of processor has.
It would want to think that those that also use the ultilidad of NVIDIA Desktop are going to notice the very relative starting, but consider the benefits that Windows 7 offers are superiors much from the beginning.



Eh here a brief description of which things I made to optimize the starting (that of in case already it is very good). Lamentablemete the TuneUp in its version 2009 does not even work in Windows7 reason why I was myself forced to resort to the classic MSCONFIG to be eliminating the things that they try to start at the beginning of my system. There am an image here after installing absolutely everything what it interested to me, I left the starting this way:



With respect to which they are services, the thing can vary much based on the atmosphere in which they use the computer. I recommend to them that they try to read and to interpret or the explanations of the services, to observer or the dependencies of each before deshabilitar it because they can bring problems to him to the system, in any case if they do not include/understand so that it serves each service, ask to him Google Pope or directly THEY DO NOT TOUCH IT.
I leave an image them of which services I deactivated in my case and as I put in manual:
(The image Is too great in pixels reason why the support to make the Hotlink is no host that and to put it in Taringa)

The image car I adjust to the size of T! they keep but it in its PC's will be able to see better each service and its description.



It could put a video to them of the YouTube of the new characteristics of the Desktop de Windows Seven but I prefer to tell my personal experience them. The truth, the comfort and simplicity is inexplicable, I can tell many functions nevertheless them until they do not use it are not going away to give to account the practitioner who is.
Of entrance we already can observe what it was always requested of Windows, that did not exist pixeladas things. It is that they use or not the Aero, in any resolution we can even notice a clearness superior to the one of VISTA that in some elements still showed pixelaciones.

At first sight we observed a much more ample bar of tasks in which the fast beginning megres and at which we can add applications to our taste without they occupy space while the application in himself, is open, since it does not have text labels either, we say is “a grouped” mixture of “fast beginning” with that we had from WindowsXP. Many say that in this new disposition it is difficult to choose a window in particular if there are many grouped. But to the daily use it is not thus because one just by is to happen above through of the button a previous view of all the windows in real time, even if there is a video reproducing. Something similar to the “Window Preview” that has the COMPIZ FUSION of Linux.
Certain programs even acquire special options on that new disposition, as they are it Internet Explorer, the complete package of Live Windows, and Windows Media Player.
In the case of Internet Explorer the eyelashes are treated like windows different for the miniones from the windows, which gives a comfort when exquisite sailing, the Live Windows incorporates the typical actions like SENDING AND TO RECEIVE, to change between states AVAILABLE, OCCUPIED, ETC… and but worked of that are the integration of Windows Media Player which in the small previous view incorporates the reproduction controls (ANTERIOR-PAUSA/PLAY-SIGUIENTE)
Obvious if this radical change in the form to develop in Windows does not finish to them convincing can put the classic bar with the small labels and icons but, without losing the functionalities of the previous views.

The menu beginning very similar to the one of VISTA has very improved the search and better worked the bellboys of extinguished who as much were criticized in their predecessor.
The others do not change much, if they have resources to lose in his system can qualify indexed and Recent Documents those that help much if they are disorderly.





Something similar the windows to those of Vista Windows, bring few innovations, among them they emphasize extreme diffuseness and simplicity given in view of tree of the left and the interminable forms to be able to accommodate the views of the folders in himself. Grouped, box-like, and ordinates by the field of properties of the archives that we want. The previous views by type of file beyond the predetermined program to initiate them are excellent at the time of knowing if we are in front of a video or photo.





One of the things that fascinated to me more of this Seven Windows is the concept of Bookstores that are adding. It will do 5 years invited to me through TECHNET (group of developer of Microsoft to that I am registered) to a seminary on the main platforms where it was going to run VISTA Windows… AVALON+WinFS (Obvious nothing than I saw I implement myself completely even) but the bookstores are a step near it more.
It is difficult to explain but MS tries to eliminate the FOLDER concept. That is to say, the archives are going to have an exploration location, something as well as an attribute of the field of a relational table. But in the disc they are physically going to be like gigantic Base de Datos, which would accelerate much the searches because the indexed one would be magnificent, would improve or we say would allow to improve the fragmented one of the disc, and would be a step the more close elimination or at least the reduction of so criticized REGISTRY of Windows.
But good it is enough of the technical aspects, to this you are going it you to see reflected if it costs to them to be ordered. To what I talk about? The best example I can be given with the following thing. I have in my second disc a called folder My Music, which contains mp3 organized by artists and within each artist its albums. Nevertheless also I have a folder my music within My Documents there were since it in Windows XP, and another equal which I use with my manager of unloading, this way with the bookstores we can have a folder “My unified Music” with archives in different locations, and even if that location is a DVD or a MP4 or we can add them to a PenDrive to the bookstore to the archives in any case, that when we want to reproduce that file multimedia (it is image, sound or video) will solicit to us to enter means where this one is. This way we would be doing without a program as it can be WMP12, or Winamp, or i-Tunes, to create the bookstore of music or Picassa, or Kodak for the images.



They will be able to observe in the second image as for a same folder we can “point” several means locations to him different.



In this section I go to detail the programs that I frequent and its yield under Seven Windows.
Beginning by the anti-virus use the “ESET Smart Security Bussines” deactivating obvious the so obsolete Firewall de Windows which did not improve much lamentably. As much the modules of AntiVirus and AntiSpyware as the one of Firewall works without no disadvantage.

What is the suite of Creative Suite Adobe, I installed the CS3 which works very well, nevertheless I with this risk to me to prove the CS4 having left completes due to his incredible speed and integration with DirectX 11 that offer surroundings me of excellent work of great benefits. I had the luck to prove Photoshop, Premiere, and Audition. Which did not bring problems to me, so I imagine no other program of the suite must have problems.

Mozilla Firefox works of thousand wonders, although it is slightly displaced at attractive level his basic Theme, reason why I recommend to unload the Theme similar Chromifox to the Google Chrome, or the Aero Windows to him that makes similar to Internet Explorer.

Virtual Dub, the small but most powerful manipulator of videos programmed in C++ works without disadvantages, and in their last version doing use of the multiple nuclei.

JDownloader well-known and powerful manager of automated unloadings works perfectly as long as it is had installed completes JAVA version.

JAVA Engine works without no problem in his completes version.

You plow works perfectly in his completes version.

Crystal Player works perfectly in his completes version with the disadvantage of which the MultiSampling and the SuperSamplig must be deactivated in case of sampling the video with DirectDrawn or leaving them active and to deshabilitar the DirectDrawn for the Crystal Player.
In any case they use VLC that is slightly but personalizeable.

DivX 7 works without problems being useful incredible way the 4 nuclei. It compresses formed in HIGH QUALITY (10) videos of 720x478 to but of 55 FPS and brings built-in support for the Matroska container of native form.

Google Earth works perfect.

Office 2007 works but that well, this completely integrated with the surroundings supporting transparencies in the Ribbon appearance even.

Nero 8 works without no disadvantage, although I do not like much, the 7,5 tends to hang itself enough. Reason why I recommend use the 8 or 9 but pasense to some other alternative as it can be the Ashampoo Burning Studio that is super compact.

Quick Time works perfect in his completes version.

WinRAR is discounted works perfectly.

YahooWidgets (in particular I like but that those of Windows) works perfectly.

Free Circle Dock or Stardock Object Dock works perfectly if they are to let itself take by the EyeCandy.

Messenger works perfectly, as much the Live Messenger as Yahoo Messenger. The others as Google Talk I did not prove them, I have if understood that Skype not yet has support and not even it is let install.

Google Chrome does not even have support not even is let install and if it does in compatibility way it tends to be very unstable.



I had opportunity to prove the following games that are few because I am not to play much:

Pro Evolution Soccer 2009: It shows an incredible improvement in the illumination.

Crysis 1: The resolutions, but nothing significant improve the FPS when increasing, considering that the new API Direct2D load as much to the plate of video not to maintain the effects of the operating system.

FarCry2: Very good improvement of effects HDR without loss of FPS. Equal note that the CryEngine2 de Crytek abuses hardware and takes advantage of little the instructions DirectX.

Counter Strike Source: Remarkable stability of FPS where before a little perhaps oscillated. A flash or detonation of distinguished pump/if before they lowered some FPS now no longer.

MotoGP 2 and 3: Differences with WindowsXP are not seen.

GrandPrix 4: Differences with WindowsXP are not seen.

Call of Duty 4: Improvement of the FPS increasing the resolution.

For Need Speed Coal: Differences with WindowsXP are not seen.

For Need Speed Undercover: They improve the quality of the effects but it does not contribute much to the general yield of the game that of in case it leaves much to be desired.

Conclusion? Note that DirectX11 is a mature product, that concerning games of the new generation contributes very many and if the developers know to make use of him can promise enough when it is finished for year end.



Seven Windows in spite of being in version BETA1 works of thousand wonders, I am I mediate capricious and do not like much to have distributed I in my rigid disc a folder for each platform, that is to say I do not like to have: Program Files x86 and Program Files x64, Documents and Settings x86 and Documents and Settings x64, reason why I did not install the version of 64-Bit besides the slight untidiness, that many of my Drivers have support for Windows XP not even. So the one that can and has the sufficient machine installs x64 that surely must very enormously walk better taking advantage of the intrucciones 64-Bit.
Remote note that Microsoft put hands to the work to content to his I publish myself and to return to gain the market. It would want to think that at enterprise level if the product this demonstrates to be the advance that it even pretends in its final version. The license is worth the pain.
