Windows Vista is an operating system developed by Microsoft, released worldwide on January 30, 2007. Prior to its official announcement on July 22, 2005, it was known by its codename, Windows «Longhorn».

Development of the operating system spanned approximately five years, starting in early 2001. Over the course of this time period, the product was first codenamed Whistler+ (with some sources stating Idaho as a possible codename), and then Longhorn in May 2001. The first builds of the operating system known to use the Longhorn codename were compiled in May, 2002.

Initially envisioned as a minor upgrade to Windows XP, Microsoft later characterized «Longhorn» as a complete overhaul of the Windows operating system. One of the largest changes slated for «Longhorn» was pervasive use of managed code.

While in its earlier stages of development, «Longhorn» suffered from many problems relating to reliability and stability. This was due not only to the premature technology on which the operating system was based, but also because of the way new features were introduced and implemented. For this reason, the development of the operating system was «reset», with a preliminary build, 3790.1232.winmain.040819-1629 being compiled on August 19, 2004. Although this build is not known to contain any code from «Longhorn», it did include the «Longhorn» End User License Agreement (EULA), a testament to the build’s authenticity.

Contrary to popular belief, only very early «Longhorn» builds were directly derived from Windows XP; later builds were based on Windows Server 2003 Release Candidate code. Builds compiled after the development reset are based on Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1.

During Beta 1 development, Microsoft named the operating system Windows Vista. The new name was chosen to improve the product’s image and reputation, and to reflect the new capabilities of the operating system.

A total of two Service Packs were released for the Windows Vista operating system. Service Pack 1 was made available to MSDN subscribers on Febuary 15, 2008, and was released to the Microsoft Download Center and Windows Update on March 18, 2008. Service Pack 2 was released to manufacturing on April 28, 2009, and released to the Microsoft Download Center and Windows Update on May 26, 2009. In addition, Microsoft released the Platform Update for Windows Vista on October 27, 2009, which was comprised of major new Windows 7 components and updated runtime libraries. The Platform Update requires Service Pack 2 prior to installation.

Editions

Windows Vista came in many editions. Unlike Windows XP, there were no special edition for Media Center and 64-bit capability. Windows Vista also did not have an embedded version.

• Starter: This edition was intended for emerging markets and low-cost PCs. As in XP, the 3-program limit was there, and only 1 GB RAM could be used. Other software restrictions applied as well. This is the only edition of Windows Vista not to have a 64-bit version.
• Home Basic: Found in low cost to mid-end computers, this version of Windows Vista does not fully have Windows Aero (though it has DWM), and hence does not have effects like transparency and 3D Flip. Windows Media Center is not included as well. However, Parental Controls is included. The hardware limits are much higher, and there is no 3-program limit as in Starter.
• Home Premium: The mid-end edition of Windows Vista, this version included the full suite of Aero features and also Windows Media Center. It also included Premium Games like Inkball.
• Business: The business oriented variant of Windows Vista, it contains several features like full RDP(client/host) capability, Group Policy and domain join ability. However, some «consumer» features like Windows Media Center and Parental Controls are not included, and Premium Games are disabled by default.
• Ultimate: The top consumer variant of Windows Vista, it is a merge of the features containing on Windows Vista Home Premium and Business. Bitlocker is included in this version.
• Enterprise: The top business variant of Windows Vista. It is like Ultimate, but without Windows Media Center and includes enterprise-specific tools.

Some of the features like Aero required higher hardware specifications to properly work on Windows Vista.

New features

Windows Vista was a revolutionary upgrade from Windows XP.

1. Windows Aero introduced, setting the framework for the UI that would be carried into future Windows versions including Windows 7 and later. Consequently, DWM was also introduced. New Aero features like Flip 3D were also introduced.
2. The Start Menu was given a facelift, also adding new features in the process like integration of Windows Search.

6. Internet Explorer 7 was also introduced, introducing features like 256 bit encryption, tabbed mode and protected mode.
7. Windows Update was integrated into the control panel, eliminating the need to use Internet Explorer because of its prior reliance on an ActiveX control to use all the features of Windows Update in previous versions.
8. Control Panel was improved.
9. Windows Experience Index was introduced, providing a benchmark for system performance.
10. Gadgets were also introduced, along with an API for third party development and Windows Sidebar to house the gadgets.
11. Hybrid sleep was introduced mainly for desktops, providing the best of both worlds of sleep and hibernation.
12. The installation routine was redesigned, leading to better speeds, and features like rollback were also properly implemented.
13. New games were introduced, like InkBall, Purble Place and Chess. Existing games were also improved.
14. Windows Ultimate Extras were introduced for Ultimate users, enabling these users to enjoy additional games, features and services.
15. Parental Controls were introduced.

Features removed/degraded

1. The Introduction of Aero meant that Luna, which was the default theme of Windows XP, was removed.
2. DirectX 9 performance was degraded compared to Windows XP.
3. The system requirements were significantly raised to 800MHz(Windows XP around 300 MHz) processor with 512 MB(64 MB) RAM and 16 GB(2 GB) of HDD. This could well be the biggest reason for the failure of Windows Vista.

Windows Longhorn was the pre-release codename for Windows Vista and was the successor to Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 (built from NT 5.2 codebase). Development on the OS started in May 2001 and went through two unique development cycles separated by a development reset in 2004. The reset occurred as Microsoft’s development staff had lost focus on the project as a whole and what was required to be done in order to bring it to market. Features were being written into the OS at an alarming rate with a significant lack of QA or vision of true requirement. This combined with Microsoft’s trustworthy computing initiatives caused the reset.

Several features of Longhorn planned that were actually shipped include the glass replicating Aero theme (which followed the Slate and Jade themes from earlier builds), along with the Windows Sidebar — although this was shipped as a standalone utility where as most builds (at least in pre-reset) shipped this as part of explorer.exe. Numerous improvements to the Windows Explorer, along with an updated Internet Explorer 7, Windows Media Player 11, instant search, new 3-d games and other items made it into the final version of Windows Vista.

Windows Vista

Windows Vista is an operating system developed by Microsoft, released worldwide on January 30, 2007. Prior to its official announcement on July 22, 2005, it was known by its codename, Windows «Longhorn».

Development of the operating system spanned approximately five years, starting in early 2001. Over the course of this time period, the product was first codenamed Whistler+ (with some sources stating Idaho as a possible codename), and then Longhorn in May 2001. The first builds of the operating system known to use the Longhorn codename were compiled in May, 2002.

Initially envisioned as a minor upgrade to Windows XP, Microsoft later characterized «Longhorn» as a complete overhaul of the Windows operating system. One of the largest changes slated for «Longhorn» was pervasive use of managed code.

While in its earlier stages of development, «Longhorn» suffered from many problems relating to reliability and stability. This was due not only to the premature technology on which the operating system was based, but also because of the way new features were introduced and implemented. For this reason, the development of the operating system was «reset», with a preliminary build, 3790.1232.winmain.040819-1629 being compiled on August 19, 2004. Although this build is not known to contain any code from «Longhorn», it did include the «Longhorn» End User License Agreement (EULA), a testament to the build’s authenticity.

Contrary to popular belief, only very early «Longhorn» builds were directly derived from Windows XP; later builds were based on Windows Server 2003 Release Candidate code. Builds compiled after the development reset are based on Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1.

During Beta 1 development, Microsoft named the operating system Windows Vista. The new name was chosen to improve the product’s image and reputation, and to reflect the new capabilities of the operating system.

A total of two Service Packs were released for the Windows Vista operating system. Service Pack 1 was made available to MSDN subscribers on Febuary 15, 2008, and was released to the Microsoft Download Center and Windows Update on March 18, 2008. Service Pack 2 was released to manufacturing on April 28, 2009, and released to the Microsoft Download Center and Windows Update on May 26, 2009. In addition, Microsoft released the Platform Update for Windows Vista on October 27, 2009, which was comprised of major new Windows 7 components and updated runtime libraries. The Platform Update requires Service Pack 2 prior to installation.

Editions

Windows Vista came in many editions. Unlike Windows XP, there were no special edition for Media Center and 64-bit capability. Windows Vista also did not have an embedded version.

Some of the features like Aero required higher hardware specifications to properly work on Windows Vista.

New features

Windows Vista was a revolutionary upgrade from Windows XP.

Windows Vista

Windows Vista (codenamed Longhorn) is an operating system by Microsoft, released to manufacturing on 8 November 2006 [1] and general availability on 30 January 2007. It is the seventh operating system in the Windows NT operating system line, succeeding Windows XP and preceding Windows 7. It had one of the longest development periods in Microsoft’s history starting in May 2001 and continuing until November 2006 since its development was reset in mid-2004.

This is the first version of Windows that lacks support for systems without ACPI, as it will display a black screen with error messages when launched.

Contents

Development [ edit | edit source ]

The Longhorn project started in earnest in May 2001, originally intended as a bridging release between Whistler and the later version of Windows codenamed Blackcomb (reference to the bar between two mountains in British Columbia, Canada). As development progressed, many features slated for Blackcomb became part of Longhorn, and employees jumped ship from other parts of the company, turning into a major version rather than the minor version it was initially planned as. After an initially quiet development cycle, the first build to leak publicly was build 3683, which contained a new theme called Plex, as well as the foundations for WinFS, a subsystem that aimed to bring benefits of relational databases to filesystem storage, and Avalon, a new vector-based user interface framework.

On 19 August 2004, the same day as the compilation of 4093, Microsoft reset the development of Windows Longhorn and started fresh using Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 as a codebase, starting the Omega-13 period. Immediate post-reset builds were primarily focused on reintegrating features from the pre-reset builds while maintaining stability. Most of these builds are similar to Windows XP in the overall look and feel. Few builds from this stage of development have been released, officially or otherwise. Development of Longhorn continued, albeit many features originally slated for inclusion were delayed or dropped to produce a more realistic set of goals for the OS. Examples of said features include WinFS and Castles.

In April 2005, build 5048 was released to testers on WinHEC 2005. This build showed the progress made since the reset and also proved much more stable than previous builds, despite some concern from insiders of the era. The first leaked build after development reset was done was 5098. Build 5112 (Beta 1) was released to the public soon afterward in July and showcased an early version of the Aero interface, as well as many stability improvements over Windows XP. Later that year and the next year, many builds were released to testers in a public beta program, with builds dubbed as «Community Technology Previews» (CTPs). The final build that was pushed out to public preview testers was Release Candidate 2 (build 5744). The RTM build was build 6000.16386, compiled on 8 November 2006. Windows Vista finally reached General Availability on 30 January 2007.

Naming [ edit | edit source ]

Several product names for the Longhorn project were presented to Microsoft in the lead-up to the final release of the operating system; the final name of the operating system, Windows Vista, was officially unveiled on 22 July 2005. Greg Sullivan informed Paul Thurrott about how the name Vista focused around the premise of wanting «the PC to adapt you» and aimed in «bringing clarity to your world»; the operating system was intended to be marketed with the terms «Connected, Clear and Confident». Microsoft vice president Jim Allchin expressed his enthusiasm for the product name, stating that it created the «right imagery for the new product capabilities». [2]

The earliest known build to use the final name is build 5112, and the final build to have any traces of the Longhorn codename is build 5284.

Hardware compatibility [ edit | edit source ]

Intel CPUs whose microarchitectures are based on Haswell or later are not supported on Windows Vista. [3] Numerous issues relating to certain services or applications failing to start on the affected CPUs have been reported by various users [4] – the same bug also affected Windows 7, but was later patched with an update that was not backported to older versions of Windows, however, an updated HAL driver within KB4493471 fixes most of these issues. Windows XP and earlier operating systems are not affected by these issues.

Main changes [ edit | edit source ]

The new Aero user interface has been introduced, which included large design changes to many of the built-in apps. Microsoft also encouraged third party developers to make their applications consistent with Aero, with the company for the first time producing a definite set of design guidelines that included advice ranging from icon design to text wording. Compared to previous versions, Aero icons are more skeuomorphic and realistic in design, as well as scale better at higher zoom levels due to larger icon sizes being supported.

An important aspect of the user interface was the hardware-accelerated Windows Aero theme. This was made possible by the new Desktop Window Manager, a compositing window manager that works hand in hand with the also new Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM). The compositing nature of DWM allows for eye candy such as Aero Glass or Flip 3D, but also prevents various rendering glitches that were common for previous versions of Windows. The exact appearance of Aero Glass can be further customized by toggling the transparency or changing the frame’s color, which is not possible for themes that are not composited. Live taskbar thumbnails have also been introduced, which show the preview of a window when hovered over its button in the taskbar.

For systems that relied on older drivers made for Windows XP, Vista also included the Windows Basic style, which used the older XP-style theme engine, as well as still included the Windows Classic theme that disabled theming altogether.

The licensing subsystem has been completely rewritten in Windows Vista. This allowed Microsoft to define licensing restrictions for each SKU more easily and systemically using product policies, rather than hardcoding them in the kernel or using hooks for core system components. Product policies are used to limit the maximum amount of RAM, number of processors, as well as the availability of user interface options such as the Aero theme or transparency.

Networking stack has also been overhauled in Windows Vista. The new stack model includes IPv6 support, completely overhauled IPv4 and TCP/IP stacks and improves peer-to-peer connectivity.

Other notable changes include the introduction of Internet Explorer 7, Windows Media Player 11, Windows Sidebar and Gadgets, redesigned games, Windows Boot Manager and more.

Editions [ edit | edit source ]

Windows Vista was shipped in a number of editions. Unlike Windows XP, there were no special editions for Media Center, 64-bit capabilities and Tablet PCs since these features were included in at least one of the consumer editions. Windows Vista also did not have an embedded version, perhaps due to the considerable grunt required to run optimally.

Sound scheme myth [ edit | edit source ]

No build of Windows Vista (including pre-reset) used or even included the widespread sound scheme that appears in several fanmade Longhorn or Vista themes, which appears to be a sound scheme titled «Deep Fantasy», which was commercially available on NEO Sounds, a stock sound/music website, until 2006. The Windows XP sounds remain and are used in all pre-reset builds, with a few being swapped with Vista sounds between builds 5466 and 5840.16384.

Windows Vista 6.0.5112.winmain_beta1.050720-1600

Windows Vista build 5112 is the official Beta 1 build of Windows Vista, which was officially released on 27 July 2005. It is one of the first Beta 1-class builds to be compiled, and certainly, the first Vista build to become widely available.

At this point in development, Microsoft had decided that Windows Vista would be the final name of the operating system, hoping to boost the image and perception of the product among end users. Jim Allchin themselves expressed his enthusiasm for the name, stating:

‘Vista’ creates the right imagery for the new product capabilities and inspires the imagination with all the possibilities of what can be done with Windows – making people’s passions come alive.

However, the name Longhorn was still used in numerous areas, such as within the About Windows dialog box, the registry entry for Winlogon, and on the boot screen. This is to be expected, considering the point at which this build was compiled (it was compiled two days before the announcement of the name change to Vista). The name Vista was only mentioned on the desktop watermark.

Build 5099 or later is required to upgrade to this build, but it is possible to flawlessly upgrade from 5098 by replacing the sources folder (excluding install.wim ) from 5098 itself.

Windows Vista build 5259 is a pre-Beta 2 build of Windows Vista, which was shared online along with a recompile on or before 30 November 2005. [1] [2]

Setup [ edit | edit source ]

The setup interface has been changed in this build, now using a window in the middle of the screen with a fake Aero border and Aero buttons, but the title bar is not transparent. A new aurora background for the Preinstallation Environment, first seen in build 5252, has been introduced in place of the older blue Windows logo graphic. An option to automatically activate Windows upon finishing setup has been added to the product key page. The disk partitioning section has also been slightly reorganized.

The second phase has been updated with the new wallpaper as well, however, it still retains the general look of the previous setup design iteration. The most notable change is that the progress bar in the bottom of the screen has been replaced with one similar to the first phase with numbers and labels marking each stage of the installation process.

This is also the first post-reset build with a WIM-based setup to feature an Out-of-Box Experience. Compared to the Windows XP version, the OOBE uses the Aero Wizard interface and includes pages for determining information that would have been determined during the second phase of Windows XP setup. The version included with this build is already very reminiscent of the version that shipped with RTM, although it uses the Tahoma font instead of Segoe UI and some graphical glitches are present.

The autorun program has been also updated with the new variation of the Windows flag, however, it is vertically stretched in this build. The window background has also been changed to a solid dark blue color.

Despite of the introduction of the new logo, the icon shown on the title bars of autorun, setup and OOBE is still the older one from 2001 and horizontally stretched in autorun and setup.

Разработка Windows Vista

Разработка Windows Vista (под кодовым названием «Longhorn») началась в мае 2001 года и продолжалась до ноября 2006 года. Первоначально Microsoft ожидала завершить версию в конце 2003 года и представить её как незначительный шаг между Windows XP (под кодовым названием «Whistler») и Windows 7 (под кодовым названием «Blackcomb» и «Vienna»). Концепция Longhorn была намёком на тот план. Первоначально Longhorn разрабатывался на основе Windows XP, но в 2004 году Microsoft «перезагрузила» проект, то есть, начала разработку с нуля, но уже на основе Windows 2003. В связи с этим некоторые особенности, такие, как WinFS(Windows Future Storage) и NGSCB, были исключены или понижены. В середине 2005 года «Longhorn» был переименован в Windows Vista.

Содержание

2002: Ранняя стадия [ ]

Ранние стадии разработки Longhorn были охарактеризованы минимальными усовершенствованиями и обновлениями к Windows XP. Во время этого периода Microsoft была довольно тиха о том, что разрабатывалось, поскольку маркетинг и центр связей с общественностью был более настоятельно сосредоточен на Windows XP и Windows Server 2003, который был выпущен в Апреле 2003. Несмотря на это, некоторые первые билды Longhorn утекли в популярные Сети файлового обмена.

В большинстве билдов Longhorn и Vista в стадии тестирования в правом нижнем углу рабочего стола есть надпись названия сборки и билда, к примеру «Longhorn Build 3663.Lab06_N.020728-1728».

Milestone 2 [ ]

Build 3663 (28 июля 2002) был первым, с которого утекли несколько скриншотов в интернет. Build содержал новую визуальную тему «Plex».

Milestone 3 [ ]

Build 3706 (29 Октября, 2002) утёк в сеть только 22 Мая 2006. Один из первых билдов, содержащих Desktop Window Manager (DWM) и Desktop Composition Engine, который позднее стал известен как Media Integration Layer. Содержит Internet Explorer 6.05 и визуальное оформление Plex. Один из билдов, утекших в интернет только после длительного времени от релиза.

Build 3713 (дата неизвестна) утек в сеть лишь 26 апреля 2011. Не имеет отличий от ранее утекшей сборки 3718, за исключением работающего WinFS и чуть большей стабильности.

Build 3718 (19 Ноября, 2002) утёк в сеть 30 Апреля 2004. Содержал DWM и ранние визуальные эффекты, включая прозрачность и «эффекты перехода».

2003 и начало 2004 [ ]

Milestone 4 [ ]

Milestone 5 [ ]

Build 4015 (28 марта 2003) утёк в интернет 28 апреля 2003. Build содержал много нововведений, включая изменённый логотип Windows в меню «Пуск», множество изменений в Windows Explorer, новый менеджер закачек в Internet Explorer. В то же время билд имел проблемы с утечкой памяти в Windows Explorer и Sidebar. WinFS имел ошибки использования памяти.

Build 4028 (1 июля 2003) первый серверный билд Longhorn, основанный на Windows Server.NET RC1, впоследствии ставший Windows Server 2003. Визуальные особенности присутствовали, но были отключены по умолчанию.

Build 4029 (19 июня 2003) утёк в сеть 23 сентября 2003. Содержал несколько новых технологий по сравнению с 4028. Windows Explorer претерпел изменения. Предварительные просмотры изображений и видео были показаны в tooltip при наведении мыши, также производительность Windows Explorer была улучшена, хотя проблемы утечки памяти не были решены.

Milestone 6 [ ]

Build 4033 (17 июля 2003) похож на 4029, но содержит некоторые улучшения интерфейса, содержит обновлённую тему Plex.

Build 4039 (27 августа 2003) утёк в сеть 22 августа 2007. Этот билд содержит Phodeo, 3D вид фотографий и полный DWM и прозрачность.

Milestone 7 [ ]

Build 4042 (9 сентября 2003) первый билд, содержащий визуальный стиль Slate вместо Plex с ранних билдов. Несмотря на это, Aero glass (прозрачность) из билда 4039 все ещё осталась. Утек в сеть 26 апреля 2011.

Build 4050 (дата неизвестна) Эта сборка представлена на TechEd 2004 в Израиле.

Build 4053 (22 октября 2003) утёк в сеть 2 марта 2004. Не имеет отличий от сборки 4051, за исключением чуть большей стабильности.

Build 4083 (16 мая 2004) — Утёк в сеть 10 ноября 2004, и был предпоследним утёкшим в сеть билдом Longhorn, созданным на базе Windows XP. Боковая панель Windows и WinFS убраны. Отличается высокой нестабильностью и проблемами инсталляции.

Build 4093 (19 августа 2004) — Последний утёкший билд на базе Windows XP. Отличается высокой нестабильностью. Содержит боковую панель и WinFS.

середина 2004 — середина 2005: «Перезагрузка» разработки [ ]

Longhorn «D1» (Pre-Beta 1) [ ]

Build 3790 (7 сентября 2004) первый билд, основанный на Windows Server 2003, но интерфейс как в Windows XP

Build 5048 (1 апреля 2005) — официальный WinHEC 2005 preview билд. Был доступен для WinHEC посетителей 24 апреля 2005. В билде присутствует DWM, но по умолчанию он выключен и скрыт. Build имеет новый оригинальный интерфейс (отличный от 4074 и похожих билдов) и иконки как в 4074. Также содержит в себе раннюю версию Windows Aero. На официальной презентации глава Microsoft Билл Гейтс объявил, что многие компоненты WinFX API будут портированы на Windows XP. Версия 5048 была раскритикована за утрату многих разработанных в 2001—2003 компонентов. [7]

Build 5060 (17 апреля 2005) билд не содержал много изменений в отличие от 5048, содержит новый экран приветствия.

Beta 1 Fork [ ]

середина 2005 — ноябрь 2006: Windows Vista [ ]

Beta 1 [ ]

Windows Vista Beta 1 (билд 5112, 20 июля 2005) выпущен 27 июля 2005 и был первым билдом Windows Vista. Build был доступен в Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) и TechNet подписчикам для группы бета тестеров. Визуальный стиль был изменен на более тёмный.

Beta 2 [ ]

Windows Vista Beta 2 (18 мая 2006, билд 5384), стала доступна подписчикам Microsoft Developer Network и 23 мая 2006 тестерам Microsoft Connect. 6 июня Microsoft сделала доступной beta 2 всем пользователям в виде бесплатной закачки на нескольких языках c их веб-сайта. Некоторые веб-сайты, посвящённые технологиям описали этот выпуск как «случай наибольшей загрузки в истории программного обеспечения».

Pre-RC1 [ ]

Ну, камрады, свершилось. Надыбал и я себе сабж, билд 5259. Пока не ставил, но при начале мне пишет, что затрет мой бутовый файлик, а винды старые не хочу терять. Вроде fixboot должен помочь. Кто ставил уже, затирает бут или нет?? Как эта винда дружит вкупе с 32-биткой и 64-биткой?? Да, есть ли встроенные дрова для Creative Live!5.1 ?? и еще: как отличить, какая у меня винда, 32-бит или 64-бит?? _________________ ********** Delenda est.

Beta 2 еще нет. Просто все CTP маркируются как beta 2, хотя на самом деле они таковыми не являются.

Первое что хочется сказать что под новый год Microsoft как всегда радует нас. На этот раз выпустили сразу 2 в 1. И сервер и клиент. Это сборка числиться за номером 5270. По сравнению с версией 5259 тут много нововведений. Это и обновленный Windows Media Player 11, и улучшенный интерфейс системы. Также не забыли и о быстродействии системы. Но об этом я рассказывать не буду т.к. это надо видеть самому. Также изменилось множество компонентов в панели управления. Нам показали новый вид создания подключения к локальной сети и Интернету. Теперь все просто, что даже начинающий пользователь который только что купил компьютер и установил Windows Vista сам сможет без чьей либо помощи создать подключение. В состав Windows Vista 5270 также входит новые игры (из теперь 8, а 6 как в Windows XP). Добавлены шахматы, и какая то детская игра на внимательность. Проблем с установкой устройств мной замечено не было. Все устройства были опознаны системой нормально и установлены. Со звуком были небольшие проблемы. У меня имеется звуковая карта Creative Sound Blaster Live 7.1 24 bit. После установки драйвера, работали только 2 колонки из системы 5.1. Как бы я не крутил в свойствах звука 5 канальный режим, был только свист из всех колонок. При установке 2 канального режима звук работал идеально. Звуковая схема пока взята из ХР. С видеокартой (Nvidia GeForce FX5500 128 Mb) проблем не возникло. Также хочу сказать что система требовательна к оперативной памяти. У меня имеется 512 Мб на борту и система вроде работает нормально, но временами где-то ей, что-то не хватает для работоспособности. также хочется отметить, что теперь если вы подключаете USB flash на 128,256 Мб, то вы можете работать с устройством как обычно, но Windows Vsta воспринимает это устройство как дополнительный модуль памяти, что важно для быстродействия системы в целом. Также в Viste 5270 произошли визуальные изменения. Теперь вы сами настраиваете систему под свой вкус. рабочий стол, иконки, звуки, скринсейверы т.д. Ещё в системе изменились иконки. Они стали намного выразительнее и краше. Теперь хочу сказать пару слов о новой версии Internet Explorer 7. Вроде бы новый браузер, и это хорошо. Но также теперь Microsoft взялась за защиту пользователей, которые блуждают по всемирной паутине. При первом запуске Вас попросят включить защиту от так называемого фишинга. И браузер начинает работать с усиленными настройками безопасности. Также к работе подключается новый компонент Windows Defender ранее известный как AntySpyware. Оба компонента работают в связке, тем самым обеспечивая пользователю 100 % защиту. Ну конечно защита была бы не полной, если бы не антивирус, который Microsoft обещает внедрить в систему в феврале 2006 года с официальным выпуском Beta 2 для всех пользователей…Ну вот пока все что я могу вам рассказать на данный момент. Если что, задавайте вопросы, постараюсь ответить. Отредактировано куратором: Vsev0l0d Refresh_0f. Дата: 12.25.2005 17:05
