We know that starting from Windows NT, Microsoft put the device driver to an important position, for driving policy began grading processes, such as the XP system, on the use of three-layer driven strategies:
1. the original package drive, the highest priority.
2. the Windows Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL) certification-driven priority levels.
3. the unsigned drivers, need to install even after a user has authorized the direct prohibition.
Windows Vista it? it further subdivided driving, seven levels.

Windows Vista grading policy is as follows:

1. Microsoft WHQL-certified driver
2. the original package of Microsoft certified driver (NT Build Lab Certified).
3. Microsoft Windows Sustained Engineering certification signed by driver
4. after signature drive (Enterprise CA).
5. signed driver (Class 3 CA Certified).
6. after signature drive (MAKECERT. EXE Certified).
7. after Microsoft WHQL-certified version of the operating system drive.
8. the unsigned driver.

Microsoft gave you a hand on the naming, but are considered a good Windows Vista Longhorn’s trade name is already an indisputable fact. Well, official website came out, although only a simple one page, but the official Logo has caught my attention, compared to Windows XP icons, you can clearly see Windows flag subject looks a little bit different … At the same time Microsoft announced Windows Vista release date is June 28, 2006, abbreviated WinVI.

Avalon “and” Indigo “was originally for Longhorn operating system, Windows Vista development of two technologies, in the development process are transferred to Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 to continue application and research of. This test version in English only, is an ISO package of approximately 210M.

Now let we entered series article subsection last night cnBeta describes finished device Hou on has been in playing with EVDO, but has been is has signal dial does not Shang, so on to card handed CB members– lit lit playing has, Taizhou Telecom of EVDO card still cannot Shang, later after engineer pointing, “playing a phone, received a phone” on can activated UIM card, was do so, so, computer finally first times entered has 3G era, now let we entered series evaluation of second bomb: China Telecom 3G-EVDO Rev.A speed evaluation.

Bright: well, that is what gadgets

Hello, X* of customer service do? 3G test card was swallowed by my dog to … @_@

Well now, insert after the EVDO card, ZTE software automatically identifies EVDO signal, as evaluation points near the EVDO-end device (<500m), so you can see today’s test scores will be very good, in the picture, we can see that the phone number, user name password all unchanged, would produce a connection after dialing connection speed is 3.1Mbps.

In accordance with the telecommunications engineer, EVDO is at present, the test network to devices running at full speed, so normally the rate will be at about 2-3M.

Content must be of concern to most Web pages, downloads, ping delay involved in daily use, such as content, next we will detail to interpret EVDO surprising speed.

First is the Thunder to download speed, connected to the network after our first impression, and fixed network speeds are the same, no difference . open Thunder download IE8 installation package testing, download speed is quickly soared to above 200K, between 250-280KB/s and ultimately stable, without dragging its feet, multi-threaded content is also very calm, visible EVDO network load capacity.

Next NetPerSec transmitted data, except the communication process in loss, this download maximum speed up to 2.7Mbps, is close to the theoretical value of 3.1Mbps. run out 153kbps CDMA1X network, there was a “Detox” carefree and easy ^_^.

Next is uploaded we cnBeta of telecommunication in the server to send data to a single thread, the highest rate of 1.1Mbps, the average speed of about 90KB, fast response, (this rate has surpassed most of the fixed-line broadband uplink speed limit).

Telecom

Netcom

Next we see network delay, we must remember in GPRS/EDGE and CDMA1X era of maximum problem, network communications bandwidth may enough, but delay often up to 2-5 seconds, therefore many on data delay requirements comparison high of application on cannot was completed, and in EVDO in the, this fundamental is not problem, above two Zhang figure is respectively ping Telecom and Netcom server by from of data, we can found EVDO of communications delay and solid network compared to comparable to, Only EVDO may signal a greater impact.

Then there is the video test, very smooth voice and video transmission, you can see evaluation of network QQ chat window to excellent, sharp and clear picture quality, flows about in about 450kbits, but do not have EVDO video Terminal, and therefore cannot test 3G chatting on the phone for the time being, but from looking at the data bandwidth, EVDO hosts a video is easy.

Next is the BT download, BT is a bandwidth killer for EVDO network, because it both up and down, and the number of connections, have an impact on the whole regional network, United States, Canada many ISP did severe restrictions to such P2P communications, CBer absolutely convinced at least Chinese carriers will also have similar actions.

Due to upload encroached on has channel, BT download of speed began no so stability, to crap bear titles group produced of hot us plays Lie.to.me download for cases, figure in the we can see BT download Shi average rate in 1.7Mbps around, download speed about is 200K around, and uplink speed about is 153Kbps, and CDMA1X of downward speed similar, but browse Web page of speed and no was has is large hysteresis, may is BT of all energy also no play out ‘s.

Stability, we tested for about two hours, the amount of data about 200M and didn’t find any stop, break, line instability, and browsing in the Web page, downloads, video has a very good performance, user experience and fixed networks can say that there is no difference between, on the data uplink will be even stronger.

This test environment:
Core 2 Duo E6550 OC 2.8GHz
Windows Vista Ultimate close built-in/third-party firewall
ZTE AC8710 CDMA1X/EVDO data card
CnBeta Telecom, Netcom node server
Profiling points located near EVDO-end device (<500m)

This concludes this test, we’re all aspects of China Telecom will also 3G tests, including:

Episode three: mobile case rate test
The fourth episode: different brands of terminals (/ZTE/Huawei Tianyi EVDO cell phone–if you can get)
The fifth episode: tariff comparison

So stay tuned!

Thanks skyvicky bring wonderful report: Windows Vista may bounce again, and probably won’t have all of the features planned, but a. alchain of Microsoft responsible for Windows continued to believe that “this is a great product.” Here are our finishing Windows Vista related issues, hoping to give you more about Windows Vista.

When will Windows Vista goes on sale? Microsoft has repeatedly promised Vista will take place in 2006 went on sale for Christmas sales season, beta Vista release date was August 3, Server version is the release date of 2007. What features are included in Vista? Since 2003 shows an early version of Microsoft, Vista has many changes. In which Microsoft has given up plans to use new WinFS file system, and has changed how makes Indigo Web services architecture, Avalon graphics engine. Vista now main features include: new search mechanism, a large number of security enhancements, new laptop features, parental controls, better home networking. With the help of Avalon,Vista has also changed in Visual, including the transparent window to the icon that represents the document itself. Some of the new features include Windows Vista security improvements and some new graphics features, new ways to search and organize information. Users need not remember which of the files to the folder, to store the document into any number of virtual folders. Users can also set up automatic update of folders, such as “file edit last week”, “documents from Jane”. In addition, Microsoft is trying to simplify a number of other tasks, such as adding a PC in your home network, the laptop with the projector connected. In terms of business needs, Microsoft says Vista will allow businesses more easily deployed on more than one PC, but also to lower costs by reducing the number of computer must restart. These are all Vista features? Is not. Microsoft has publicly confirmed the other features also include: extensive IPv6 support, improved server stores the data in the buffer on the client, the entire volume encryption, amendments to the synchronization engine, supports the ability to configure the laptop has a second monitor, automatic hard disk optimization, PC is lost or stolen will help others to access user data secure boot process. Vista may also have a lot of us had not heard of function. Features included in Vista has been finally decided yet? There is no. A. alchain has said, on time release Vista than in the more and more important, so if the Vista development team encountered significant difficulties, some features may be “sacrifice a pawn in order to save a castle”. My PC to run Vista yet? Depending on the PC when you are buying. A. alchain said in an interview in April, he expects Vista need 512MB memory and “current level” processor, the ability to show all the new graphics capabilities depending on the type of video card is used. In some older computers, graphics with current Windows Vista looks pretty. Vista may be just as in previous versions of Windows also have multiple versions–Home, Professional, Tablet, Media Center? A. alchain said Microsoft will soon have thus decided, but now reluctant about this issue. He pointed out that we are considering a variety of functions. Vista price? Price has not been decided.

This would have been no need for me to introduce. However unclear whether authentic MS origin wallpapers, back in XP on a number of times for its design on your desktop, including my … And many doubts were of this Wallpaper, think not Microsoft’s original because not too rough with Microsoft’s watermark, however sensible it is WinVI came first out wallpaper down it anyway.

Messages from the Microsoft people say, the next generation of Windows servers in Windows Vista Beta version promising stage begun research and development. She also said that “Vi” is short for Vista and represents the Roman numeral 6. Now the name only was Longhorn Client version, Microsoft did not say that this is the name of Longhorn Server. Continuation and the current plan is to get the server version of Microsoft Windows Server 2003 naming conventions.

Windows Vista is the version number of 6. However, Bink.nu the boss are surprised to find the Windows07 this domain name has already been registered. This has further confirmed that Microsoft wants to add 7 to the Longhorn Server name ideas. It now appears that we may meet Windows Server 2007,R2 in R2 is built on Windows Server 2003 SP1 platform, it has joined the user can choose to install components that are required.

It is this Acvtivewin a new image, a picture was clear Vista LOGO, a photo was time to launch. So much putting Vista on computers.. … Saliva ….

Thanks skyvicky post:
Microsoft confirmed they would be released August 3 Longhorn Server (Longhorn Server) Beta 1 version, release with the same period also have Internet Explorer 7 Beta (IE 7.0 Beta). they will work with Windows Vista Beta 1 Edition listed in the same period, this next-generation operating system is that many people are already familiar with the Longhorn operating system.

According to a spokesman for Microsoft said, beta version of server names to be determined, it will contain a core Longhorn Server Foundation and API of the operating system. Some hardware manufacturers, OEM, IHV, system build, ISV and developer will be able to access this beta version of the server that is not open, its purpose is to allow them to test on the next generation server and plan their own products.

New server product features: event log centralized and filtering capabilities, based on graphic setting and implementation, and a file system (transactional file system) and registry and built-in rights management.

While desktop and server products are developed at, and you also have the same underlying code, Microsoft has plans to postpone release of Longhorn Server Windows Vista 6-12 months of the season. Microsoft plans during the 2006 holiday gift season one computer equipped with Windows Vista to the market, and hope that in 2007 delivered server products.

Microsoft Group Product Manager Greg Sullivan said although the company will separately provide WinFS file system, “people will be surprised to find we have many things in WinFS demo can be found in Windows Vista. “

In April, Microsoft shows an earlier version of Windows Vista, there is a virtual folder features, it can dynamically from your hard disk to which any file matching the subject headings collection. This feature was originally based on WinFS this new storage patterns made out. Virtual folder that’s basically an important data stored on the results of the query more than once, Sullivan said.

He said: “the development team have studied personal computer management scenarios on the future, they found a method does not require this data storage. “In the release version Beta 1 will include the virtual folders feature can track the multilevel query. “We realize that we can use the interfaces implemented on this,” Sullivan said. Later, WinFS, any application can write to the API comes in.

On the Windows Vista RSS aggregation issues, Sullivan also talk a lot. He said: “send RSS as a tool, it is now more and more important. “

He said that Windows Vista will deal with issues RSS interface, applications development and ISVs in software increase RSS without worrying about RSS and linking problems between Windows. Sullivan said, it is just like Windows provide a variety of printer drivers, so that a computer can install multiple printers.

Research firm Jupiter Research Analyst Joe Wilcox said that Windows Vista beta edition will contain such a core part of the operating system, which is designed for developers and IT specialists to design. He believes that this beta version will be more popular than Microsoft had previously released version.

Wilcox said: “for Windows XP, the early beta versions are fine. “For this version, if the Microsoft Developers Network users to send it to Microsoft, I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised. “
