What is the difference between Vista system and WindowsXP system? Who is better?

First of all, let me state my point of view. Vista is better than xp, but vista does not have the compatibility of xp, so as a system, I think xp is more suitable. At least for now, vista is still not ideal. Compatibility, but for those who are not familiar with computers and only need the most basic functions of the computer (such as QQ to play ordinary games online) vista can more perfectly present the power of the computer~~ After all, vista is quite safe, convenient and enjoyable. Excellent~~Is vista sp1 better at this time? I found the information online~~For reference only. People who use computers can be roughly divided into three categories: 1. Home users: can be divided into beginners, advanced and games Three categories; 2. Office users: can be divided into two categories: ordinary and advanced; 3. IT professionals; Generally, the first impression people have when talking about Vista is its beautiful interface, translucent window effect, 3D Flip, etc. However, these are relatively superficial, and people have little understanding of the inner world. There are many reasons why they do not choose Vista. Generally speaking, they can be summarized as follows: 1. The hardware requirements are high, which takes up a lot of system resources and many machines do not run smoothly. appbeta: Compared with XP, Vista has higher hardware requirements, such as CPU, memory and graphics card. However, this should not be a problem for machines after 2007. Generally speaking, even commercial machines (except for a small number of machines only for general clerical workers) have pretty good CPUs, and the memory is so cheap that it is not a problem. What about graphics cards? People who really need Vista don't need to worry about Aero. If you come here for Aero, it's not too much to invest in a comparable graphics card. My most commonly used laptop graphics card cannot enable Aero. I don't care about its interface. What I like is just the new features of Vista. Of course, future new machines will naturally meet Aero's operating requirements. As for the memory, 1GB should be enough. My home and company machines are both 1GB and can run smoothly. Of course, I don't play large-scale 3D games, otherwise 2GB of memory can run smoothly, and a good graphics card is naturally essential. So, to sum up, for ordinary users, as long as your machine meets P4 2.1GB memory and no graphics card limit, you can run Vista smoothly. 2. The operation is quite different from that of XP. I am not used to it, and many commonly used functions cannot be found. appbeta: I think people who have this problem are generally junior users, mainly home and office users, including some professionals. No matter what new system it is, for people with certain computer experience, it is not a problem to get started quickly. They have a general understanding of the working and setting modes of the operating system. Even if it is a leap from Windows to Linux, they can get started quickly with a short period of exploration and network assistance, let alone a slightly revolutionary Windows upgrade? Beginner users are different. Most of their understanding comes from the guidance of others and their own exploration. Once they change to a new environment, they often don't know how to start. It's normal to not get used to it for a while. When it comes to habits, I don’t dare to preach. I’ll just say one thing: If you don’t break old habits, how can you accept new things and how can you improve work efficiency? For example: In my working environment, many seniors were accustomed to using AutoCAD (engineering drawing software) R14 in the early days, because that was the tool they had relied on for several years and were very familiar and accustomed to it. However, they were gradually transferred to AutoCAD 2002, 2004, 2006, and 2008 under my influence. Why? Because I can use many new functions that they cannot use, it brings higher efficiency to our work and liberates tired nerves to a great extent. Undoubtedly, in this process, they need to break their existing habits and adapt to the new characteristics brought by the new environment. Some people may say that as long as it can meet the work needs, there is no need to upgrade. Well, since you like this, continue to stick to the old habits. This is your freedom, and others have nothing to say. 3. The support for games is not as good as XP, and most games cannot run well on Vista. appbeta: Indeed, previous games were developed for Windows XP, so there is no guarantee that they will run well under Vista.

So what about the subsequent development of Vista games that support DirectX 10? I don't play this type of game, so I have no right to say anything. 4. It is difficult to deploy enterprise applications under Vista. Employees are already accustomed to XP. If changes are made, migration costs will also be a problem. appbeta: Yes, user habits in an enterprise environment are very problematic, and it costs money to train employees to adapt to new systems. My views on the habit issue are as mentioned in 2 above. In addition, an important reason that restricts enterprises from embracing Vista is the deployment of software and hardware in the entire office environment. Incompatibility issues are bound to exist. Old and new compatibility cannot be completely eliminated. For example, if every product must ensure backward compatibility, I think developers will go crazy. Even if they are not crazy, users will go crazy because the complex code is not General media can accommodate it, and being too complex will also make it too fragile. So, why do companies need to upgrade their operating systems? Performance and safety should be the primary considerations. How Microsoft convinces enterprises to upgrade is a big problem, because except for the temporary better security than XP, the performance improvement is not obvious. Maybe enterprises will accept Vista after SP1 and SP2. 5. Software and hardware compatibility is poor, and older software and hardware cannot run normally under Vista. appbeta: For home users, there is no need to worry about this issue. This is already a problem with Vista during the testing period. Now Vista has a large number of built-in drivers, and drivers can be updated online. Thanks to the efforts of various software manufacturers, the compatibility of general software and drivers is no longer a problem. 6. Vista operations are cumbersome, and UAC and file operations are complicated and annoying. appbeta: There are too many debates about UAC. We are used to Windows granting super administrator rights to ordinary users, but no one is used to UAC. It is undeniable that the UAC setting is indeed very annoying. Every time, there will be endless questions and answers, and so on. However, technical experts advise us not to disable UAC, otherwise some important security features will be gone. Therefore, we can only expect Microsoft to make some improvements to UAC. By the way, my UAC is turned off, I don’t usually use the Administrator account, and I don’t install firewall or anti-virus software because the websites I frequently visit are relatively safe. 7. Vista’s operating efficiency is low and not as good as XP. Various tests have also proved this conclusion. appbeta: It is undeniable that Vista does not run as well as XP on the same lower configuration hardware platform. It's natural, that's the way Windows is. However, it is inappropriate to say that Vista does not run as efficiently as XP. As a new operating system with more innovations, its functions and ease of use exceed XP in many aspects. Don’t read the reviews, seeing it is better than hearing it, try it out and see for yourself. There is a question: Who are these testing tools developed for? Vista or XP? Running on different operating systems, is comparability really credible? 8. The memory usage ratio in Task Manager is high. Let’s look at a joke first: "2GB of physical memory is not enough for Vista! Evidence: After installing 3GB of physical memory, it is very easy to use up 2.1GB. People with 2GB only use 1.5GB. In fact, 600MB has been squeezed into the virtual memory! What I want to say is that for Vista, 2GB is only equivalent to 512MB for XP, which is only enough for streaking and does not require frequent use of virtual memory to free up space. 3. 4GB of physical memory is necessary. " appbeta: We know that the memory usage of Windows is not a fixed value. The larger your memory, the more it is used. For example, the comparison of XP memory usage between 1GB and 256MB. . I think back then, running XP on 256MB was already very smooth, but what about now? 1GB is not too much. The memory management mechanism of Vista is different from that of XP. Vista treats most of the physical memory as a cache device called super prefetch block, or SuperFetch. Vista uses the SuperFetch memory caching device to dynamically pre-fetch background programs and disk data that the system frequently needs into the cache to speed up application operations at any time. Therefore, don't look at the amount of available memory in Vista with the old point of view, and your thinking must keep pace with the times.

Regarding Vista memory management, you can read what experts say: blogs.itecn.net. 3. Conclusion In fact, a considerable number of people’s impressions of Vista come from some outdated and irresponsible remarks on the Internet. They lack understanding and experience of Vista and boycott it. To put it bluntly, they just don’t know how to use it and they don’t know how to use it efficiently. Vista, its experience mainly stays on the surface, so I couldn't understand it for a short time and gave up. There is no need for me to explain all the reasons for using Vista. Users of XP and Vista must carefully read and experience the 100 reasons for using Windows Vista provided by Microsoft: microsoft.com. I will give just one example. The most commonly used resource manager, which is "My Computer" in XP, has absolutely revolutionary changes. This is especially true for search, sidebar, filter view, as well as move, copy, The visual experience of deleting files is definitely not comparable to that of XP or third-party programs. The work efficiency of the resource manager is very important for our daily file operations, so it can bring a lot of convenience to our work. Based on my one-year experience, as a home user, Vista is definitely worth recommending.
