Longhorn can be run on some old computer
Reply: This is good news. Although Microsoft recommends a computer to run very trendy the next version of the Windows operating system, but also be able to run Longhorn in a considerable number of old machines.
The bad news is, Longhorn running on those old machines will look quite a bit different. For example, with 3GHz processor and 512MB of memory the computer will play a special performance, including the beautiful graphics and ability to handle multiple video streams.
According to Microsoft's recent testing, only 128MB of memory of the old computer to run Longhorn, but its performance can not, as in a powerful new computer on the same. Many of these older machines running Longhorn there will be “has the same XP as the operation of” feeling, a Microsoft Windows operating system kernel developers said Richard Russell.
The new Windows has at least four different levels of graphics. One, Aero and Aero Glass graphics using the new composite interface, with a high-end Glass layer to add more transparency and 3D effects. Another graphical effect is called “To Go”, is a popular portable computer and a new machine design, it has many of the same with the Aero color scheme, but did not practice with the ultimate graphics performance. The last one is the traditional model, it looks like XP or even Windows 2000 as. However, there will be differences in performance, more device configuration allows the new operating system to play better. It shows Microsoft's a big change in the concept.
Previous Windows versions, including Windows XP, operating system, the typical practice is the performance of a machine or all of its glory, or can not run altogether. “XP is XP,” Russell said, “Longhorn is completely different, it will be re-defined.” Formation of such a big change on the software giant's many challenges. First, it let the business community and consumers understand that the ability to run Longhorn does not mean that full advantage of all of its features. This, Microsoft is planning to design a new mark in the personal computer to identify, respectively, were: the machine is optimized for the Longhorn or just be able to load the operating system. Microsoft also operates a program is to allow computer manufacturers to specify which computer is “for Longhorn”.
The second challenge, Microsoft said it was ready to proceed, is dependent on software for existing machines measure out what type of configuration is most appropriate. Russell said, Microsoft guarantee that when people upgrade to Longhorn, some settings are optimized according to their machines, though users still maintain the ability to change these settings. “We do not want to allow users to effortlessly proved wondering whether they can run (Aero) Glass”, Russell said.
Similarly, computer manufacturers are encouraging the use of machine performance relative to their default settings, although customers can still change those settings. Microsoft Research analyst Michael Cherry said that Microsoft needs a feature for which the guidance which the hardware was too vague. Cherry said that while Microsoft needs of the processor and memory provides some detailed instructions, businesses may still not have enough information to understand a new computer should be installed on any kind of graphics card. He claims that he has not worked out for Microsoft “for Longhorn” specific indicators to guide business customers and that they now buy Diannao Shipishiyu new Caozuoxitong disappointed. “I do not understand why, so far they have not yet ready to give us one for Longhorn's hardware specifications.” He said.
