从比尔盖茨在1983年11月10日向世人首次公布微软的图形操作系统到现在，Windows已经走过了四分之一个世纪。
当年盖茨是在纽约的Plaza Hotel向邀请的媒体首次揭开了Windows的面纱，并让到会者“清楚的了解这个新的微机软件”，宣布售价为100美元，还好当时没有谁屏住呼吸等待购买Windows，因为直到两年之后，微软才正式发售Windows。
微软最初开发的产品名为Interface Manager，那是在1981年，早期的原型使用的是在屏幕底部的MSWord风格的菜单，在第二年才改为下拉菜单和对话框。在1983年，微软面临着刚刚发布的VisiOn和即将发布的TopView所带来的巨大压力，苹果当时已经发布了Lisa，而且之后几年Digital的GEM、Quarterdeck的DESQ、Amiga Workbench、IBMOS/2以及TandyDeskMate的陆续发布也给Windows带来不同程度的挑战，还好它一路挺了过来，直到今天的Vista以及即将发布的Windows 7。
当时几乎没有什么第三方软件可以使用，不过最初的Windows1.0的系统组件已经很丰富了，包括：MS-DOS环境、日历、Cardfile、记事本、Terminal、计算器、时钟、Reversi、控制面板、PIF (Program Information File) Editor、Print Spooler、剪贴板、RAMDrive、写字板、画图。

默认启动的时候只使用一个核。
不过即使打开了两个核，也没感觉快。看来当初缺省值使用一个核启动是有根据的。

随着软件越做越大，为了求启动速度快，一些软件都把常用功能分家了。
比如ACDSee，分出来了一个可以快速引导的Viewer
PhotoShop，分出来了Lightroom（不完全算）
Pacisa也分出来了一个View
以上都是图片管理软件
现在音乐播放器也分出来了一个可以快速启动的播放器。
看来随着功能的逐渐复杂化，而引导时间无法戏剧化的缩短的情况下，快速启动模块就是目前的变通解决方案了。

其实Linux，Windows系统本身都已经引入了这种快速启动模块的概念。
十分期待新版媒体播放器，希望可以早日放出来，不用Windows 7也可以安装就好了！

Giz Explains: Why Windows 7 Will Smash Vistafrom Gizmodo: Top by matt buchanan

  Windows 7 is what Windows Vista should have been, what we hoped it would be. The Batman Begins to Vista's Batman and Robin. While superficially both are kinda the same (Batman!), there's a completelydifferent thought process at work. Our walkthrough and videos showedyou how the new user experience is something to be excited about; nowwe want to show you what it is under the hood that enables the whollyhypeworthy experience to be all it can be. And why Windows 7 willtotally smash Vista's kidneys.
Microsoft is cheerfully explicitabout 7 killing Vista. At PDC, the head of Windows performance GabrielAul laid it out simply in a presentation entitled "Raising the Bar":

• If an application or device runs on Vista, it should run on Win 7.
• If a system runs Windows Vista, should run Windows 7 even faster.
• Notebooks should get better battery life in Windows 7.
• Windows 7 will be more reliable than Vista SP1 from Day 1.

Yep, not only does it have a more usable UIthanks to snazzy elements like peek through, a whole new taskbar andjust common sense simplifications, Microsoft admirably pulls an Applehere—its next release of Windows will run even faster than the previousone, an unprecedented feat for Microsoft.
That's because it's awhole lot smarter about taking care of what's going on in thebackground while you're gaping at some new UI element that's bothpretty and useful. For instance, Vista's window memory manager devotesthe same amount of RAM to every window you have open: No matter howmany windows are open, it acts like every one of them is visible andfull screen size, even if you had them minimized or in the background.This ate up a ton of resources, especially if you're like us and leavea billion windows open. Windows 7's window memory manager doesn't do that—only the visible windows use video resources now. That means you can actually run Windows 7 with 1GB of RAM—unlike Vista, where having anything less than 2GB is totally retardiculous.
Windows7 is also way more brainy when it comes to crashy apps and errors, in acouple different ways. Probably the most impressive sounding—thoughwe'll have to see how well it works in real life—is application crash resiliency.If an app crashes more than once, Windows 7 learns how it should runthe app to avoid that particular train wreck. Also, error reports areactually useful: The Problem Steps Recorder watcheswhat you do to trip an error—if you can repeat it after turning on therecorder, that is—and it generates a useful, detailed error report in alanguage that actually resembles English! And 7 just plain practicessafer sex—device drivers are sandboxed, so nastinessfrom one cruddy set won't infect another. Having learned its lesson,Microsoft is working with hardware makers to deliver all updated drivers through Windows Update instead of, say, Samsung's byzantine excuse of a website.
Noneof Windows 7's awesomeness matters, though, if all that rock is toomuch for your notebook's battery to handle. Vista's power managementwas definitely better than XP's, and Windows 7's is remarkably betterstill. Part of it is just that whole smarter background management,which for battery life does things like dial down the processor moreoften, use less juice to play a standard def DVD, automatically turnoff your Ethernet adapter, common sense stuff like that. But it doesn'tjust do all this fancy energy-saving jujitsu behind your back (thoughit can). Windows 7 is capable of delivering a battery efficiency report that breaks down in detail what's chomping on your battery—power-slurping hardware, vampire-y processes, the works.
Allof this reflects a new mindset about the overall user experience thatseems like it just got left on Vista's cutting room floor, for whateverreason. Vista was just going through the motions of a new OS. IfMicrosoft actually delivers on what they've shown and are promising forWindows 7—and all signs seem to point that way—it'll actually have theheart and soul of one, even if it's wearing the same brand of clothes.

Windows 7 Walkthrough, Boot Video and Impressionsfrom Gizmodo: Top by Wilson Rothman

  Like Elvis in '68, Microsoft is itching for a "comeback," and Windows 7 is the perfect excuse. In fact, this week in LA at the Professional Developers Conference,Windows 7 officially shoved Vista aside. Having suffered through theoften deserved criticisms of that ill-fated OS installment, Microsoft'speople are thrilled to tears to be able to talk about something(anything!) else. On Sunday, they took journalists through a lively7-hour orientation on Win 7, then handed off a Dell XPS M1330 loadedwith pre-beta Build 6801. Thankfully for the overworked,underappreciated developers at Redmond, it's surprisingly stable, andits look and feel already puts Vista to shame.
Here's awalkthrough of the system I'm looking at, some videos showing its basicperformance, and then shots of more interface and system details demoedat PDC that will show up in the first beta build.
It's reallyhard to piece together everything I experienced at the seminar, so I'mgoing to start with the real, actual improvements I see in the systemI've been fiddling with, and then expand into the more rhetorical stuff.
WHAT I'VE ACTUALLY SEEN
For starters, even the early build of Windows 7 feels like a fast,stable environment. There's a lot going on behind the scenes to makethe OS more usable, one monumental improvement being how video memoryis allocated for unseen windows. (Hint: It's not.) The resultis a highly responsive machine that gets decent battery life. Thoughspecs aren't out yet, Windows boss Steve Sinofsky confirmed that itcould run on systems with just 1GB of RAM.
As you might expect, I'm already seeing smarter user-interface decisions. Here are three great examples:
Choosing a Wi-Fi network now takes just one click, straight from the system tray. How much of a no-brainer was that? Instead of the clicking on the insulting "networks are available" pop-up, you actually get the available networks.Speaking of the system tray, it now gives you more complete controlover what you see—instead of just hide or show, you can get it todisplay particular notifications, as you see here:

The dreaded User Account Control lives up to its name with more control.Yes, this slider is how you will be able to reduce the number of peskypop-up warnings, eliminating all the ones that come from Windows, forinstance. There are four tiers of security in total, so basically twosettings between Vista's tell-me-everything and don't-tell-me-squatmodes.
The sidebar is dead—the gadgets roam free!Why should keeping one or two gadget/widgets alive mean sacrificing afifth of your clickable screen? Now when you add gadgets, they stack upon the right, but you are at liberty to put them wherever you want, andthey're always there, hiding under your windows. This is an idea I wishApple would incorporate too. Speaking of Apple and things hiding underwindows, there's an upcoming "peek" feature that I will show below inthe up-coming section.
There are some other new interfaceelements that might be quite useful. Microsoft is sort of the oppositeof Apple when it comes to organizing your media files: Apple helps youput them all in one place, while Microsoft says it's okay to leave themscattered around. Up until now, though, it was hard for Microsoft'ssoftware to keep track of everything. But there are two new tools, onelocal and one networked, that will help you track all kinds of mediafiles.
Libraries let you clump together same-type content no matter where it is on the system.If you have pictures in one set of folders, and other pictures inanother, and you damn well aren't going to merge the folder, you canstill track them together by adding them both to the Photo Library.Libraries even show the contents of local external storage drives youadd to them, though when you unmount the external drive, Library offersto ditch its folder.
HomeGroup is a re-do of classic workgroup networking, only with the home in mind.The feature will only work on Windows 7, so to test it I'd need asecond loaner unit. Still, having set up a basic HomeGroup, at leastthe initial interface and Microsoft's literature suggest that this willsimplify viewing content across multiple machines, and sharing printersand other products. Let's hope so, because it could also be one ofthose classic "Why won't this work for me????" networking wizards. (Oris it just me who gets those?)
Here are some other shots from the pre-beta unit I'm looking at, including:
• Ribbon interface now appearing on WordPad and Paint (and nothing else so far)
• Solutions Center that will soon be re-branded as Action Center
• New fast-launching "lightweight" Windows Media Player
• Subtler, but still cool, improvements to the main Windows Media Player
• Windows information page, so you can see the attributes of the system

VIDEO
I shot the following videos to get you some immediate sense of whatit's like to use the Windows 7 laptop, but though in some instances itis compared to a reasonably similar system that is also fairly clean,this isn't any kind of test. It is interesting to note, though, thatwhile the Win 7 boots way faster here (even with the other computer'sBIOS startup out of the way), it actually takes longer than the othersystem to shut down. But yes, these are totally unscientific, just anice thing to observe:
Totally Unscientific Video of Boot-Up Time

Totally Unscientific Video of Shut-Down Time

Super Scientific Video of New Window Resizing Feature

WHAT MICROSOFT IS PROMISING
The sad thing about the build that Microsoft handed out is that it'smissing a lot of the neat stuff that they showed off at the conference,and have been hinting at elsewhere. Though we did see a lot of thisstuff running on systems, we couldn't take photos or video—not even ofthe slides.
User Interface Improvements In the last videoabove, I say more UI to come, and I mean "in the beta." Here are thenew promised UI effects—all of which make Vista's Flip3D look like theOS equivalent of the infamous "Mission Accomplished" banner.
WhileI'm a fan of the mouse hot-corner "eek" function in the above photo,that lets you see gadgets or icons that windows could be obscuring, thebiggest improvement to the Windows UI is probably in the Taskbar. It'sgone through quite a few evolutions already, but this latest one ispretty great. Click on an app, and contextual menus pop up, giving youoptions like opening recent documents. The Taskbar can pull informationthat's already part of the program, so new apps don't need specialprogramming to work here. Another aspect of the new Taskbar will be thepreview feature, which will show you floating glimpses of hiddenwindows. (I'm still hazy on this one, so we'll have to revisit it oncethe beta comes out.)

Other improvements come in thenatural-interface category: You can now write in math equations. (Ithink this is cool, even though it's been a very long time since I'veactually written out any math more complex than a bar tab.)
Windows7 will have great native touch and multitouch benefits too—none shownhere unfortunately: Menus subtly enlarge when tapped with a fingerinstead of a mouse cursor; the mouse cursor disappears when the fingertouches the screen; and iPhone/Surface-style pinching and stretchingare now part of the OS.
Cool Device Tricks
As agadget lover like most of you, one of my favorite parts of theconference was the device discussion. I am happy to report that, forstarters, Windows 7 is itself a more aggressive media playback system,natively handling both AAC and H.264 as well as DivX and Xvid withoutthird-party download.
It'salso a DLNA 1.5 system with some neat tricks up its sleeve. WindowsMedia Player has a "play to" feature (at left) that you can reach viathe Taskbar—one click and you can pull up a song, start playing, andeven jump to the next.
But here's the coolness: You can use thatsame feature to pull songs from other places on the network. And youcan send the song to play through a Sonos or other compatible player onthe network, rather than through your dinky laptop speakers. You caneven, theoretically, if everything's visible on the net, pull DRM-freeAAC files from a Mac, and tell it to play on the Sonos, re-encoding iton the fly if the Sonos doesn't support AAC. In this case, thecompatibility is only as good as the interface, and the interface isonly as good as the compatibility, so I am eager to see how this isexecuted.
A nice servicey program for interfacing with gadgets and peripherals is called Device Stage. Yesterday in comments,it got maligned a bit as the new PlaysForSure, but that's a branding itdoesn't deserve. Not yet, at least. The system allows camera, phone,MP3 player and printer makers to create mini interfaces for theirdevices. The products appear in the Taskbar when connected, with theirown pop-up menus of activities, like offloading pics or uploadingmusic. In addition to the pop-up Taskbar menu, each device will haveits own pop-up page with links to ordering supplies or downloading themanual in PDF format, plus a photorealistic icon that will appearwherever the device is referred to.
ForDevice Stage to work, the third-party brands will have to provide theirown content, but it will get served throughout the world by Microsoft.If there is no Device Stage present, you get the basic AutoPlay pop-upthat we've seen for ages. When I asked Microsoft how aggressive theywould be in getting companies on board with Device Stage, they saidthat the companies themselves were excited about the chance to do it.As someone who was bitterly let down by PlaysForSure, I can tell you,this ain't the same.
I realize I covered far more of theexternal bits and far less of the internal guts than some of you folkswish—nor I even touched on the new Windows Live and IE8 features, bothof which are somewhat visible already—but it's early yet, and while Iwill always focus on usability, there will be a lot more to look at inthe coming months as the builds get richer and the testing is morereflective of the final product. As far as exact dates go, Microsoft isreluctant to carve anything too deep into granite, but can you blamethem?
For now, we should just be happy that Windows 7 appears tobe on the right track. You can almost look at consumer-levelWindows—that is, 95, 98, Me, XP, Vista and Win 7—like the first six Star Trek movies: They pretty reliably alternate between crap and quality. All I can say is, screw the Final Frontier, and hellloooo, Undiscovered Country. That, and thanks to Microsoft for talking about Windows 7 early and often. It helps. Just don't screw it up!

                        Windows 7 Pre-Beta Details Leak                                                          Microsoftis not including all the new Windows 7 goodies in the pre-beta versionthat will be distributed at the Professional Developers Conference inLos Angeles. However, the good news is that they are putting in a lotof new stuff that will have fans of the operating system excited untilthe public beta hits—if they can reach their deadlines this time—in December.
• Device Stage: Apparently this is a control panel for all kind ofconnected devices, from printers and cameras to cell phones and mediaplayers, that will allow users to "manage, explore, sync, print to, ordo other common device-related tasks". Unfortunately, the devices haveto be "Device-Stage-enabled". This sounds a bit scary.
• Action Center: This is a troubleshooting center. Yes. Definitely get scared.
• StreamOn: Not much is clear about this, except that it's a way to control multimedia content on PCs and other devices.
• A new animation framework which may be related to Apple's Core Animation framework.
• New task bar and shell integration.
• Multi-touch support and gestures.
• Improved Bluetooth support.
• The ribbon user interface element present in the current version of Office will be available everywhere. For some reason.

According to ZDNet's Mary-Jo Foley, Microsoft will be showing morefeatures tomorrow but those will not be available in the beta. We willkeep you updated, as Wilson is now in LA covering the event. [ZDNet]

                    作者        Abel Avram译者        霍泰稳        发布于        2008年10月2日 上午8时3分   
        社区.NET主题.NET框架,IDE标签微软,Visual Studio                          微软最近对外揭开了Visual Studio 2010和.NET Framework 4.0的面纱。
据Visual Studio Team System产品管理部门的总监NormanGuadagno说，微软的下一代开发工具将被简单地命名为Visual Studio 2010，并将基于.NET Framework4.0。VS 2010中值得关注的一个地方是应用生命周期管理（ALM），它能更好地将让开发者融入到应用开发周期中。MSDN上的报道提到VS 2010中主要包括以下新功能：

• 使用新的架构资源管理器（Architecture Explorer）查找与确定已有代码集和架构；
• 设计和共享多种图类型，如用例、活动和顺序图；
• 通过提供能对测试场景更好归档和收集更详细测试数据的工具，有效提高了测试效率；
• 使用新的测试影响视图（Test Impact View）可以更容易地确认与运行与变更代码相关的测试；
• 版本控制能力得到提高，包括受检签入、可视分支和构建工作流等；

未来的VS版本将会基于一套新的建模工具，同时支持统一建模语言（UML）和特定领域语言（DSL），另外还包括架构资源管理器：

Visual Studio Team System中新的架构资源管理器使得开发者和架构师可以根据现有代码创建架构视图，理解代码和架构之间的关系以及它们是如何“工作”的等。

另外一个用来帮助修复无法重现的Bug的工具是Test Runner：

Microsoft TestRunner—是一个独立的工具，测试人员常在它的帮助下一步一步对测试用例进行完整测试。在测试用例开始的时候，Microsoft TestRunner对系统数据进行快照处理，包括操作系统版本、补丁包和其他相关系统数据。进行测试的时候，测试人员可以使用该工具对测试中的应用抓取图片，或者甚至录制测试过程的部分或者完整屏幕视频。当发现问题时，测试人员可以在Team FoundationServer中创建一个新Bug，并附上所有这些附件。对于这些屏幕抓取视频，系统会以测试步骤为书签对它们做完全索引，让开发人员更容易地重现测试人员机器上的错误之处。

VS 2010的另外一个功能是测试影响视图（Test Impact View）窗口，它能使开发人员浏览代码改变的情况下需要运行的所有相关测试。此功能的目的是帮助开发人员，通过运行一个完整的测试集来检查在签入代码的时候所更改的代码是否安全。
微软证实说使用Team Foundation Server（TFS）的项目团队将来肯定可以应用敏捷开发流程。另外，VSTS 2010将会把开发版本和数据版本集成为一个产品。更多的相关信息请浏览Channel 9、新闻稿和MSDN等。

滚轮比较明显，鼠标移动没有噪音感觉。另外按住向上或向下箭头滚动网页也有噪音，说明这个问题不完全是由鼠标的工作引起的，键盘，鼠标等USB设备的中断处理本身并不消耗多少资源，现在的计算机完全能够应付。我感觉是用滚轮或下拉箭头滚动网页时的IO处理抢占了声卡输出的带宽，因此除了把USB等设备的IRQ和声卡分卡外，对于有些机型(比较老的机器BIOS才有这个设置)，最好把”Assign IRQ to VGA“禁用，最起码，选个和声卡不一样的IRQ通道,以免视频处理和声卡冲突。
