Microsoft has announced the next-generation desktop operating system Windows 7 RTM version of the formal completion (version 6.1.7600.16385.090713-1255), nearly three years of development of Windows 7 has finally come to an end. Windows 7 pre-installed retail version and a brand new computer system will begin October 22 on sale globally.
Many people will ask what version of RTM in the end? In fact, RTM is officially in the retail store shelves, you need some time to tableting, packaging, distribution, so the code must be some time before the official release will be completed, the completion of the program code is called final.code, code development is complete, the master sent to the factory to a large number of tabs, this version is called the RTM version.
Windows 7 has not released the reason why change caused so much concern, one important reason is that people are not happy with the performance of VISTA. Although relatively XP VISTA has a more beautiful interface, but because of its higher hardware requirements for computers, most computers, especially laptops, also fill the gap did not get XP as the operating experience.

So, in the end what Windows 7 will bring us what kind of surprise, it VISTA, XP also has between what improvements, see the following detailed evaluation Tencent bring digital.
If you want to run on the computer Windows 7, need to have the following conditions:
1GHz or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor
1GB of memory (32 bit) or 2GB of memory (64)
16GB of available hard disk space (32 bit) or 20GB of available hard disk space (64)

Introduction and significance of the test platform
Description
in the test platform of choice, we have after careful consideration, we decided to use the Internet platform to test Windows7 RTM, this consideration is a reason.
current Internet has become an indispensable branch of notebook in the notebook market, occupied an important place, and then the Internet was much criticized because of performance reasons, has been virtually eliminated using the Windows XP operating system. Windows7, when the initial exposure, there are many voices that Windows7 is tailored for the Internet, Windows7 earlier than expected launch of the reason is because Microsoft underestimated the pace of development of the Internet, the Internet market, Microsoft has not broke out a suitable product to support, but to use the outdated Windows XP to an emergency, so this is not the Internet can run smoothly Windows7 is a problem worth study.
Some might say, Windows has several versions, is the Internet version of this preparation is the foundation, that is, the legend has been limited to only open up while the versions of three applications, but in practice between different versions of Windows7 The only difference is the amount of functional open, even Windows7 based version of the user, as long as Microsoft is willing to pay, it can open as many functions Ultimate, so it seems, Windows7 basic version is tailored to the Internet say it is ridiculous.
test platform we selected representative netbook - Asus EeePC 1008HA, which is commonly known as clamshell phone, this product using the Internet in this typical configuration, Intel Atom N280 processor, 1GB DDR2 memory, 160G 5400RPM HDD and the Intel GMA950 integrated graphics, does not use this platform GN40 chipset is a great pity, but the chipset is Intel GN40 an important marketing move, do not do it now to promote, we do not need to feel sorry for the lack of GN40. Also GM945 integrated graphics is almost notebook products that are in circulation in the weakest performance of the product, if the platform can run well Windows7, Microsoft can take off the hat of large consumption of system resources, and the development of mobile platforms can also be welcome to a new stage.

Windows7 RTM installation process - start-up and installation
we want to install the Windows7.7600.16385 32 位 Chinese, according to reliable sources, 7600.16385 has been identified as the official version, that version and the final RTM release there will be some change in comparison, even then a small version number changes, but also on some of the details of the fine-tuning.
we will download Windows7 RTM version of burning a CD image file from the external drive for the EeePC 1008HA to install.
After booting from the CD eject
a familiar interface, the installation starts, we installed is the Chinese version, not the finished version, testing Windows7 RC version before the time, Microsoft provides the English version of the image file and the finished package, after installation, In many places there is garbage, whether it is accustomed to the Simplified Chinese or English interface, user interface, it is a very painful thing, the Chinese version is absolute garbage problem does not exist.

Our aim is to test, do not worry about the serial number of the constraints, we directly select Windows7 Ultimate installation. If you install the beta version before Windows7.7600, you must first uninstall and then reinstall, can not directly upgrade to Microsoft, seems to have no obligation to provide such services.

Windows7 RTM installation process - completed and set
Windows7 system installation is divided into five steps, namely, copy files, expand the file, the installation features, install the update and complete the installation, these five steps are packaged together, and do not need a separate operation, these five steps probably only need to complete less than 15 minutes, and then the system is the first time some settings, such as user name, password, serial number and set Windows so that these steps also take 5-10 minutes, doing the entire installation process takes Windows7 20-25 minutes, this time faster than a lot of Vista and XP.

Set Windows, this function, and Vista is similar, but much faster
Windows7 start the first time more of the settings for a wireless network, which in Vista is not there, it also reflects the importance of wireless networks Windows7, for the Internet in this way is very dependent on the wireless network products said that this is undoubtedly a very intimate setting. However, we might think of this setting item is the result of Microsoft to Apple to learn, because the early version of the MacOS system has the option to have such a setting, Windows7 of this setting is only natural step.

After setting the wireless network to access the desktop Windows7, then we can start Windows7 RTM version of the trial trip.

system version number to view and Analysis
established in the name of the time Windows7, we explored ranked seventh generation Windows why the reason we are doing here, a simple explanation. Three generations before the version number of Windows is named directly, for example Windows1.0, Windows2.0, and Windows3.0. From the fourth generation of Windows, Microsoft adopted the name's the way, Windows4.0 public name is Windows98, Windows 98, Windows 98SE, Windows ME's version of reality are 4.0.1988,4.10.2222,4.90.3000, which Several operating systems are of Windows4.0 series can be regarded as a generation operating system. Windows5.0 public name is Windows2000, Windows2000 Windows9x used is completely different with the NT architecture, NT architecture in terms of performance and stability are doing very well, and its launch on Windwos system has played a crucial role , the subsequent launch of WindowsXP NT architecture is used, in fact, and Windows2000 are of the same generation of products, so its version number is 5.1. Development of Windows Vista is Microsoft's new generation operating system, whether it is the kernel or interface with previous products are very different, Vista's version number is 6.0,
tory burch 2011, this generation started, Windows began to enter the sixth generation.
Vista has repeatedly bounced checks before the launch, launch and then has been unsatisfactory, both OEM manufacturers or end users to their complaints about, which is very embarrassing to Microsoft, although successive introduction of SP1, SP2, but still difficult to improve market For the bad impression of Vista, this time a new generation of operating system emerged. Although the interface and functions have improved, but many people think that the operating system is just a modified version of Vista or is Vista SP3, but Microsoft has launched its name to Windwow7, in the years named, and gorgeous with the age named after again return to the most simple naming.
Windows7 version number is not actually 7.0, but 6.1. Perhaps the developers for the Windows Windows7 is a continuation of Windows Vista, but the extension staff for Windows, Vista is a nightmare, the new system as far as possible from this nightmare, it is best to draw a line completely, perhaps based on This arises because the name Windows7, though simple, but very persuasive.
Windows7 test version in the lower right corner of the desktop version number is displayed in detail, but Windows7 RTM version and the official version has been hiding out as the default version number is displayed.

external - Windows7 RTM interface of fresh and beautiful and comfortable to use
RTM version and the RC version, and several beta versions before that at the interface difference is not large, if you tried RC version, RTM at the interface is difficult to give you a fresh experience, but if you are XP or Vista users, Windows7 RTM interface makes you feel gorgeous but fresh. Windows7 on the graphics card is not high. Even the GMA950 integrated graphics that can be enabled by default Aero effects, start menu, task bar are all translucent, which is Vista can not match.

Right click the desktop, the menu item is clear, such as resolution adjustment, small tools, personalized glance, XP resolution of the adjustment is in the where, for beginners, hard to find, for the need for more skilled a few mouse clicks, Windows7 adjustments in the details, or to enhance the user experience.
Vista gadget projects and basically no change, the reason why out separately, because Window7 canceled Vista sidebar, although some users of a soft spot for the sidebar, sidebar, but at a fairly slow start largely affect the user experience, Windows7 be removed and another way there is a wise move.
personalized theme of which characteristics change is relatively little Windows7, just order a theme, the system will be able to change over immediately, the delay at most 2-3 seconds, there is a feeling of WYSIWYG visual settings.

Aero Peek is a new application to join, can solve the problems multi-window operation. Aero Peek has two main functions, one a taskbar thumbnails, Vista also has this feature, but to do well into Windows7, Windows7 windows can be classified the same series, such as computers and local disk belong Explorer series of windows, the taskbar will show when the preview window that displays two windows together.
Aero Peek Another feature is the temporary preview window, when there are many windows open on the desktop when the window you want to find the expected very troublesome, but Windows7 following points need to have all the windows side, we need to Move the mouse at the taskbar to the appropriate window, the system will automatically place the forefront of the temporary window, while others will only display a translucent window frame, this function can make a lot of efficiency.

Some components of the system comes
also optimized, such as drawing, calculators, these tools can be said that's decades of old faces, but to Windows7, Microsoft's landmark order to highlight the feeling of these components are adjusted, the overall feeling of the adjustment is quite successful.

internal - Window7 RTM properly optimize the experience better
Windows7 some of the changes are external,
tory burch reva, such as UI adjustment, this adjustment is straightforward, good or bad look at each person will have their own ideas, and some changes are internal, or For better user experience or to better security, this adjustment is the need to carefully try to feel.
Introducing change within
Windows7, we use the experience and safety is divided into two aspects to carry out.
experience
Windows7 have a When can one see all the video files on the hard disk. The management of such a library, users do not need to set a lot of frequently used folders, no matter what kind of information to find, directly into the appropriate library just fine.
library
Vista start menu power button default action set to the function of sleep, which makes a lot of first time users not used to using Vista. We can understand the purpose of Microsoft, making phone calls to mobile phone users will not put the phone off, when used in the boot, because they want to maintain the status online at any time, while notebook users do not actually want to shut down at any time can use, only in Vista, so Microsoft designed a convenient sleep function. But Microsoft did not take into account the progress in the development of mobile platforms, sleep needs some electricity to support, it is clear now mainstream notebook power is difficult to maintain the long sleep, so there came an awkward situation. Windows7 adjustments to this design, has rediscovered the lost power off function, and in the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties item in the set design (Vista in the need for advanced power management options can be adjusted), while in the mission Bar and Start Menu properties and whether to open the Aero Peek options.

power plan have also been fine-tuning adjustment from Vista to two of the three.

security
Windows7 in security also made some adjustments, there are several is more obvious, such as Bitlocker function,
tory burch outlet, not only for local disk encryption can also be encrypted on the mobile device (BitLocker To Go), even if the U disk do not worry about losing sensitive data from leaking out.

IE8 adds support for add-in management, you can fully control the extra toolbar installed, and extension and so on, before the need for these functions can be achieved through aid.

UAC (User Account Control) is also a controversial point Vista, many users spent the greatest feeling after Vista is academic settings to many users as very angry, and even a feature because it gave up Vista,
tory burch boots, Windows7 function on UAC has been adjusted, the user can control their own security level, so that the user not only to ensure that security will not let annoying .

Windows7 RTM Compatibility Description
Windwos7 install the driver that there is a great improvement, is to support the network automatically search for drivers and install, the premise is to ensure that the network card driver no problem. Nevertheless, we RC version when the trial found that a lot of driver compatibility is not good, such as Bluetooth, wireless, camera problems are easy to place. RTM in the driver's compatibility with some improvements, we found after installing the basic drivers Windows7 have been installed, and even the Atheros wireless card also successfully installed the driver.
Device Manager
But do not get too happy, when the trial we found some video drivers not compatible with the problem, uninstall the graphics driver to smoothly into the system, so we re-installed the Intel 945GME developed specifically for Windows7 version of driver, find installation video card driver compatibility problems Aero score is 2.2 points, but after installing the driver better compatibility into the 2.0 Aero score points, it really made us depressed.
update the driver before the score
score after updating drivers
Although the RTM version and the official version is almost no longer different, but compatibility is not perfect quite understandable, not to mention Vista, even XP is not released after the launch of a series of patches from SP1 to SP3 What has been many of whom are all kinds of security patches, compatibility patches. Some people have burst out of the online Windows7 RTM version of the major loopholes, do the following to reproduce the vulnerability:
1, run cmd;
2, the implementation of
3, in the open Task Manager can see the process in the chkdsk.exe fast your memory is occupied, and ultimately it will take 90% of the memory or directly cause your computer to crash.
the author of this vulnerability was tested and found not cause system crashes, but memory usage will reach 90%, finally led to the CHKDSK command does not work, this time as long as the Close DOS window.
BUG test
on compatibility, I have something to say, Windows is not a system is born perfect, even the XP product that is able to serve eight years of Bubu in the sticky in the continuous improvement, therefore, looking at a system The key is to look at when the system is in line with your usage is not consistent with your taste, as compatibility issues will always be improved.
performance comparison of three Windows systems theory test
present three systems are Windows XP, Vista and Windows7, Windows7 to be successful, is to let consumers in the subconscious that he should be good than XP and Vista, and XP comparison, Windows7 it to cross compatibility was closed, and compared, and Vista,
tory burch flats, Windows7 performance only over this hurdle. Why do you say, XP is the biggest advantage of good compatibility and speed, so Windows98 is the most widely used after the XP, Vista has a gorgeous interface and in addition to known higher security, are behind many aspects of XP, comparison with Vista, Windows7 compatibility no big problem to connect and XP a high, speed will not be a problem. Besides, XP is already old age warrior, Microsoft itself will in the duel Windows7, and XP support Windows7's. And compared to Vista, Windows7 enough gorgeous screen, the user experience is good enough, as long as the performance is better than Vista, there is reason enough to convince users to replace Windows7.
we were carried out testing and system performance CPU, memory, disk, graphics, and other subsystems performance test, the test results from the point of view, in fact, the performance difference between the three systems is not large, only in terms of Vista behind the disk obvious. We tested the memory with the Asus EeePC 1008HA is only 1GB, running Vista, or some difficulty, in general, to smoothly run Vista, memory, more than in 3G, 2G of memory on the disk even if the pressure will be enormous.
believe in the use of Vista when you can feel that, if the memory is not higher than 2G, the hard drive indicator will stop flashing, then use the laptop's hard drive can very clearly hear the voice of rotation, Windows7, and XP are there will be no such problems.
test in 3DMark XP platform, we also found that performance is relatively weak, while Windows7 platform and the Vista platform performance has been, we can see XP support in the graphics card or a bit weak.
PCMark05 overall performance of the system and their system performance testing
SuperPI on the CPU performance test
Everest on the memory performance test
HDTach3.0 disk performance on the test
3Dmark graphics performance on the test
Windows system application performance comparison of three test
theoretical performance and practical application there are some differences, such as Vista than XP platform support for graphics cards is better, but Vista's requirements on the graphics card is higher than XP, for example, can be very good GMA950 run XP, but to The following are the primary becomes Vista, many applications do not do anything, in this case, what good is supported by the actual use?
first look at the simplest to install the system after the system resource occupancy, from the screenshot below we can see, CPU occupancy is almost equal to the memory occupancy XP is still the best, only 200M or so, and Vista Windows7 have reached about 500M, 1G memory, fluency after installation Windows7 hard to believe that the system actually has been occupied for almost a general memory, we can only say that the system optimization Windows7 much better than Vista.

We also tested off the off time, a description is not clean, we tested the system switch, as this test is meaningless, no one will not install any software system installed What services are not open to use, software installation will affect the speed off the shutdown. We have three systems were installed on some testing software and common software, but we also shut down some of the more garbage startup items. Here is the result of comparison, the fastest you can see XP boot speed, Vista slowest off rate is the fastest Windows7, XP is the slowest, if the system is used for some time, and accumulated junk files, this sort may also have some changes.
We also recorded a simple and XP boot off Windows7 comparison video, interested friends can look at.

written in the last
1, on the new version
original message into the final official version is 7600.16385, RTM did not expect Microsoft will have released not long released 7600.16399 version, but the launch of this version is said only to the wide variety of crack, and no changes in other aspects,
tory burch on sale, Windows7, after all, is hard earned and that Microsoft changed the tide with its operating system, Microsoft has not released do not want it to be cracked.
2, on the upgrade
Vista version from the low-high version is no way to directly upgrade, for example, from Home Basic to Ultimate to be reinstalled, but it is supported Windows7 upgrade at any time, users need only pay the cost to upgrade to the corresponding The high version of the more convenient, I believe that is also consistent with the expectations of many users.
3, on the compatibility
Windwos7 compatibility is not perfect, though already the RTM version, online or repeated burst graphics cards, sound cards and other compatibility issues, if not of the trial, I believe there will still be many users are willing to try, of course, we also hope that Microsoft patched fast enough, you can solve the problem as soon as they found out.
4, why the change Windows7
excluding price factor, a simple analysis of why we have to be replaced Windows7.
first interface, XP was the dregs of soil, Vista flashy, compared to only Windows7 is gorgeous but fresh, and finally the visual effects, and close to some of the MacOS;
the user experience, Vista has been trying to improve, but not too good, and some lack of detail has failed to improve, Windows7 to be put together to solve these deficiencies, but also bring many unexpected that , for example, the concept of the library, Aero Peek features, etc., details of the user experience is not improved by eight or ten can speak clearly to improve to make their own experience, I can tell you is that the user experience, Windows7 is worth considering;
Finally, performance, XP must be stopped generation operating system, if kept out of XP, Microsoft has no way to move forward, so even if we then think that XP stable and fast is useless Moreover, the contrast from the front We have also seen some less than XP. And compared to Vista, Windows7 performance of something is more obvious, though after the installation of system resources occupancy rate is not low, but that Windows7 will use the speed much faster than Vista, even if the Internet is also very smooth installation Windows7, and the Internet to install Vista is a nightmare for many people.
