rebranding Vista


About Windows 7 is widely believed as a ... I agree with this opinion. I note, as a longtime user Vista as Vista - excellent system. Unfortunately for Microsoft, bad marketing, problems in Vista for the first time after the distribution formed a bad ' aura ' around this OS. Subsequent updates to fix problems in Vista, and marketers attempt to rectify the situation or to have failed. Opinion has been formed, and it was impossible to reverse: the people, not even trying to work in Vista, removed it and put XP, just because everyone says that Vista -' bad '. Having made the findings, the company quickly released a new version of the OS. But I would say that the rebranding. Under the other, not stained themselves with the name, released the same Vista. Long before the release of Windows 7, marketers, evangelists carefully formed a positive image around a version of. Their work is so successful that the Internet is practically not find bad reviews. Even some of my friends yuniksoidy the first time in my life have tried the Windows version of this very, very good about it revoked.


Work with Windows 7, I started in the first bet. I just want to tell you that I liked. This is not necessarily something fantastic. Simple stuff of which is woven the usability of the OS.




  • network Configuration. Those who sit on XP envy all incredibly simple to set up. Wifi, for example, I set up a couple of mouse clicks on the taskbar. Even in the control panel does not open!.



  • Libraries, at first I did not appreciate. However, when working on the project began to use them because it was a first comes to hand, than it was convenient to bring together different data sources ( local and network folders). Then he was involved and appreciated as it is convenient.


  • Maybe it will cause someone to smile, but on the ideology of its directory structure reminds me of how it is done in linusk. If you had everything ( pictures, videos, downloads shoved in ' My Documents ', but now it is moved to the % homepath%. In the ' My Documents ' left hidden hard links to the new location of these directories. Clearly, this is done for compatibility with old programs. In general, the directory structure carefully reviewed, in my opinion, was the logical. However, now me as a programmer, a lot of hidden options confusing, confusing. In the future, do not be surprised if at the transition to linuksopodobnoe mount drives and directory structure. There it is, IMHO, it is more convenient.



  • Search in Windows Explorer, and save search results I finally earned. I do not know if it worked for others, but on Vista, as soon as I included in the indexing of the folder, immediately ceased there is anything. So I did not use an indexed search in Vista. And this works wonderfully: enter a search string, it looks, and at the same location has added to the index. After adding the index search is done instantly, in addition, an auto - search as you type the letters immediately shows the results corresponding to the already typed characters. The search query can be saved, very convenient for the formation of various ' slices ' of data. For example, if the documents (contracts, invoices, statements ) are arranged in folders by the names of companies, with the help of saved searches can be prepared separately for the sets of all the contracts, separate accounts and all t. n.




  • Even in the Vista search was made ​​very convenient. Nazhimate Win-R, or click on ' Start ' and start typing the word. Immediately starts an auto search not only on the name of the document, but also by its content. For example, if you enter the client name will be displayed not only files but also all mail correspondence related to it.




  • The taskbar is unusual and annoying at first. Then you get used to and even enjoy. I, as a programmer, it becomes clear why they did so, and not otherwise. It is becoming clear idea of ​​which was laid in the new interface and the task bar, as the authors imagine a user working with her. I think it turned out well, if you have different applications adapt to the new opportunities the taskbar in Windows 7, it will do fine.




  • Well, of course, sets of applications that come bundled in the. Interesting raspoznavalka formula - type hand ( mouse) formula, and it is recognized. Scissors - making screenshots, functional little, but enough for many applications. Notes, you can organize your desktop notes, reminders. Well, even the little things.




In general, the version, like previous ones, the good. Some new features I've used back and do not want to.
