Windows 7: 10 Things That Still Need Fixing

Illustration by Keith Negley> For a Microsoft product, Windows 7 is quite refined. However, even unnecessary inconsistency. Why most of the tools menu instead of the left, while Internet Explorer 8 and the help system to drive them to the opposite extreme? Does the new media sharing feature (HomeGroup) have zero, one or two capital letters? Why the Office 2007 Ribbon interface in just the paint and WordPad?

Too often, decisions of Microsoft names confuse rather than clarify. ? User Account Control "has nothing to do with the function that is supposed to describe the sounds? Action Center" as a local television news of Ron Burgundy. And an operating system that already has a feature called Device Manager should not call a new feature? Devices and printers.

The operating system patches incorporated in capacity is essential. However, Windows Update is also more irritating property of extension of the operating system. Tell it to download and install all without further intervention (such as Microsoft recommends), and may still insist on reboot when in the midst of important work - or deny access to your computer completely while installing the updates.

Federated Search Window 7 lets you add external sources such as Flickr and YouTube to Windows Explorer searches. However, the operating system does not help you find those sources and federated search does not mention in their help system.

Help ... need help. Some sections of destination command line nerdy fans, while others address rookies no idea. A few sections focus on smart, but occupied users of intermediate experience.

Press-Tab in Windows, and Vista to get fancy 3D task switcher, which needlessly requires you to cycle through tasks one by one. This duplicates the functionality of Alt-Tab instead of allowing it to reach any task in a couple of clicks, like Apple's Exposé is similar.

Win 7 backup and restoration is no longer required to spend an external hard drive to a full backup of the system. But still not as easy to use as Apple's Time Machine. And Microsoft's decision to put the network back up on Windows 7 is more expensive editions is nonsense.

After several versions of Windows is fine in theory. But in reality, their small differences, subtle and arbitrary invite confusion. Misleading names like Windows 7 Home Premium - the only home version of Windows 7 available in the U.S. - Don'T Help.

Windows 7, the browser included is perfectly adequate. But it is catching up with innovative competitors, such as Firefox and Google Chrome, which sets new standards.

Like Vista, Windows 7 lets you create applications independent of the PDF documents using Microsoft as the XPS format retain their original format. However, it is ubiquitous PDF and XPS has not caught, so would not it be much more convenient if supported Windows 7 PDF of the box?

Maxthon Vs Firefox.

Firefox and Maxthon is just a Browser engine rather than using for browsing, but definetley Maxthon is much better than Firefox.

Maxthon start more quickly: I did not mean that it is faster, because the IMO in the preparation of the page as fast as they are. But Firefox is killing me when I click its icon to start it. It takes too long to start. Maxthon is a very fast on this. Actually this is not the fault of Firefox, because Microsoft's IE engine is loaded into memory in the Windows start-up and travel from the use of the engine, and its start-up time is incredibly fast. However, Firefox has to load all. DLL's and libraries so the memory from the ground to spend a lot of time to start. Even if it is not Firefox's fault, I am an experienced user such as a delay, so I have my rights, do not like it anyway! I suggest Firefox development of discrete event systems to restart Firefox will cache the relevant library and DLL in the Windows startup. Prior to this, Firefox was a major negative for me.
The use of the two browsers are very carefully designed pluggins, in order to strengthen its capacity. I think more than Firefox Maxthon pluggins the pluggins and they are good in writing. However, Firefox's pluggins IMO more interference, not so fast on the performance. I do not like the Firefox update check every time you start (which is slow enough!) And I found less pluggins Maxthon interfering and faster.

As for configuration, Maxthon is the future direction. This is the incredible variety of ways of custom, you can imagine and in fact this is why I like it. Firefox is also very good, but not as good as in custom travel. Just select your browser's option in two pages, you will be very surprised at the number of configuration options to provide travel.


I used both browsers, but Maxthon is still my favorite.

Maxthon is much better than IE and Firefox.

Maxthon floats on the infrastructure of Internet Explorer, and winds are thus as a shell around IE go.
