Office Home And Stude/nt Windows Vista Upgrade Per

Windows Vista has officially launched a few days, the whole crowd on the Internet are filled with the sound on it, or the big praise songs, or blame it after installation, broken expectations. You may not sleep for months, look at the major media around the Vista release made by the various content, which does not include the tens of thousands of blog and the comments section of the speech.
In a recent article,Windows 7 X64, we have explained in detail how to upgrade from an existing Windows XP to Vista. Windows Vista installation process - it contains many of the operating system to install code - was not on top of the old operating system to copy files and overwrite the new operating system, so the result is some confusion due to the complexity, or which contains more or less will be in the earlier Microsoft operating systems. Vista style by copying the installation program is actually a Vista image to your hard drive, then go to go into those such as hardware detection and configuration and the like.
This means that, at least in theory, to upgrade to Vista from XP system should not be like the upgrade from Windows 98 to Windows XP computer as over-expansion and poor performance (although Vista will lead to tedium yet to set the number appeared, depending on your intentions of the new Windows). This will be true? Whether Microsoft has developed an upgrade program, it can not make people feel hopelessly to clean your system in the virtual truth, we chose a relatively clean system to carry out some exploration, this computer is part of a freelance journalist, is also a part-time commentator of the game. Then we will be in this computer system upgrade to Windows Vista Ultimate. In this process, we use a number of test performance of the software to see in a Vista upgrade in response to this computer and installed Vista with a new experience for a comparison.
not surprising, success in obtaining the perfect result of the test process, there are still many issues to consider. Here is where we made some decisions.
performance tests need to consider things

we used to test the system running Windows XP, and format the hard drive in the last full prior to now,Office 2010 Key, it has been a smooth operation eight months. The Vista is installed on this system, if that is larger than the installation of the game, coupled with several demo and some free games or software to share more costs some work.
we have installed all the necessary software to enable the system to run to make people feel more comfortable: Firefox,Office Enterprise 2007, QuickTime, Flash Player, Adobe Reader and some accessories and plug-ins. Windows XP in the game, drivers, utilities and other software are in line with the rules to its own upgrade, update or repair; Occasionally, some hardware replacement (although no matter what methods, this system is not used to test hardware .) For example, Logitech's SetPoint this game tools (designed for the G5 mouse) and Ideazon's ZEngine (as Fang Gaming Keyboard only) in place quickly and running in the background.
the bottom line in order to obtain performance test configuration, we can not decide whether to make this some day leave just the way XP, or will it all by deleting all the unnecessary things (more or less should run MSCONFIG and clear about the background of some miscellaneous items, including keyboard,Office Home And Stude/nt, mouse and keyboard interface of the game),Office 2007 Standard Key, so we upgraded to Windows Vista, we finally decided to test both ways. (We realize this is very wise to clone to a spare partition hard drive in case there were any problems in this.) We also uninstalled the antivirus software, run the Disk Cleanup program, and before the start of the hard disk partition defragmented.
we have adopted a similar standard to be tested on the Vista upgrade. Immediately after installation is complete, we run a performance test on the first tool; of our new operating system is the only change made to its updated all the latest patches, download and install a sound card and graphics driver (the motherboard manufacturer and not provided with Vista drivers), and then activate it.
set finished, we will restore the operating system upgrade to Windows XP before the time. Run MSCONFIG (which is also available in Windows Vista and XP and its function in very similar). After we reset, and then completely reformat the hard disk partition.
we start from scratch to install Windows Vista Ultimate. The final set of tests described in this installation, in this installation, we used the same as before the sound card and video drivers; then we update and activate and let us come to an end.
standard test platforms and software

as we have always done, we are able to generate a fair, accurate and repeatable scores are meticulous. Exactly the same system we do all these tests on all hardware did not make any changes. In tests on Windows Vista, we use all the same driver version. Computer graphics is the ATI X1900 XTX CrossFire system configuration; we enabled through the driver interface, CrossFire, and in all the tests after all keep the same settings.
