【 Weak current College 】 Windows 7 's top 10 must know

The following is on Windows7 should know about ten things:

1 application compatibility

WindowsVista operating system core level adopted changes to the schema that enables the operating system itself is more secure than the WindowsXP. However, the need to pay for it; many applications need to be modified, only in the normal operation of WindowsVista environment. In WindowsVista (after ServicePack1) lifecycle of this point in time, most of the applications are already compatible, the early will deploy to the desktop machine WindowsVista environment, want some fairly difficult and innovative convergence approach-to mention but a few days to stay up late. Same with WindowsVista infrastructure

Windows7 established, so most applications in both operating systems will maintain their compatibility. This makes use of the transfer from the Windows7-WindowsXP-WindowsVista more easily. If your organization is like other organizations, still in WindowsXP standardize on, you need copies of application to a newer version, but WindowsVista compatible version of availability as well as proven good cohesion, will make the job easier.

2. hardware compatibility and requirements

Because a higher system requirements (such as RAM and graphics), the early adoption of WindowsVista like application compatibility issues as challenges. On the other hand, do not provide WindowsXP WindowsVista manageability and security, plus the ability to more powerful hardware, WindowsVista can perform many useful features to improve productivity (such as the desktop WindowsAero WindowsSearch4 and experience), and increase the response speed of the computer (ReadyBoost technology in memory in the maintenance section frequently used applications, so that applications can more quick launch).

Windows7 is designed in the successful implementation of WindowsVista on the same hardware can also be implemented smoothly and provide additional performance and improve reliability. Windows7 design team will focus in particular on the basis of, and maintaining existing applications and hardware compatibility. In the job, you will find Windows7 on faster than WindowsVista, and uses less memory.

3, complement with WindowsServer2008

Modern operating systems, one of the key advantages is Windows7 and WindowsServer2008 operating systems use common code base, and to maintain a single service model. This service model representing the client computer and server share updates and security updates, simplifies the maintenance of up-to-date infrastructure programs.

In addition, the use of open Windows7 WindowsServer2008 and capacity of the environment, not only the extension function also ensures a more secure environment. With DirectAccess, for example, this feature allows you to manage and update connection Internet remote mobile computer, even if the computer is not online and enterprise network is also no problem. The ability to ensure that remote users receive security updates on a regular basis, and can make IT through the principle of the "group" update configuration settings. On the users do not need to use a virtual private network (VPN) online, DirectAccess allows users to access the location of the enterprise network (apart from WindowsServer2008R2, DirectAccess requires implementation of IPSec and IPv6).

4. data encryption to removable storage media

Companies cannot fully control over sensitive information stories abound. In some industries, this would involve considerable legal problems, in other cases, this problem will result in inconvenience. In any case, the provisions of the policy can be smart in a laptop is lost or stolen, continued to protect the security of sensitive information. To further prevent sensitive information from the enterprise resource leaks, is effective requirement management principles.

Windows7 include BitLocker technology, first implemented in the WindowsVista, now on your computer's boot disk area offers a complete encryption; then BitLockerToGo, on portable storage devices (such as a USB flash device) also provide data protection. In addition, you can "group" management principles for BitLocker Drive encryption and BitLockerToGo, for professionals in the hands of the sensitive information to improve control.

5. control of the users of your application portfolio available

Windows7 new functionality provided by AppLocker, you can let IT system administrator specifies the allowed on laptop or desktop computer to perform what applications. This feature helps you to manage sensitive program authorization and control access rights and, more importantly, to help reduce malware on the client computer. AppLocker provides a powerful rule-based structure that is used to specify which applications can be executed, and contain the rules through version update to maintain the integrity of the rules of the "Publisher."

6, using the powerful instruction code will work automation

In order to assist the IT system administrators to more easily maintain a consistent environment and to enhance personal productivity, Windows7 contains updated graphical instruction code editor---WindowsPowerShell2.0, this is a powerful and complete instruction code written language, can support branch, loops, functions, multi-monitor, exception handling and internationalization.

7, more fast and efficient troubleshooting

Windows7 provides a wealth of tools that allow users to be able to identify and resolve technical issues. If you still need to call the help desk phone, Windows7 also includes many features and troubleshooting tools that can help accelerate problem resolution.

8, more efficiently build, deploy, and manage images

Windows7 include tools that can help build and service deployment image smoother, as far as possible, to allow users to quickly start execution.

Deployment in Windows7 image service and management (DISM) tool provides a centralized location, offline set up and service Windows images. With DISM, you can use a single tool to perform many functions: hanging up and removing system images; add, remove, and list packages and drivers; enable or disable Windows features; set international settings, and maintenance includes driver, Suite features and software update inventory of offline images. Windows7 manage virtual machine (VHD) and native file based (WIM) image, you also enable the use of the same programs and tools.

Windows7 also contains "building dynamic driver cloth," device driver is stored in a separate deployment images, depending on the hardware of the "with" plug and identification number, or dynamic projection is included in the basic input/output system (BIOS) information in advance. Reduce individual machine driver number, you can reduce the number of possible conflict, the ultimate goal is to set the number of times to a minimum and to improve the reliability of your computer.

When you are ready to deploy the Windows7, "multicast multiple stream transfer information can let the server at the same time" the image data "broadcast" to multiple clients, and will have similar bandwidth capabilities into network streams of the client, in optimal bandwidth utilization and to quickly transfer.

9. easier transfer user data and settings files

Windows7 include enhanced user state transfer tool (USMT), you can use this command line tool to operating system settings, files, and other settings file data transfer to another computer. In Windows7, USMT will rearrange the computer released, add new transfer function, the hardlink is in the common position of the disk drive to store user data and settings, to eliminate clear installation required during the actual "move files".

10, enhance branch users productivity

Windows7 with BranchCache, a branch location from remote file and Web server to capture the contents of a regular access to technology, so users can quickly access the information. Caching can branch location on the server that centrally managed, or dispersed in the consumer's computer. Here to raise a warning: If you want to take advantage of BranchCache, you need to deploy the server related to WindowsServer2008R2.

But there are benefits: client virtualization can obtain better support. When users connect to the virtual desktop, providing a rich use Windows7 experience that will be very close to the native Windows desktop provides experience. For example, Windows7 provides multiple monitor support, bi-directional audio to enable VoiceoverInternetProtocol (VoIP) and voice recognition applications, as well as access to local devices, such as printers.
