Although "Windows Vista" has received mixed reviews from future generations, it is indeed a "short-lived" system; it suffered an unprecedented failure that year. From the release of Vista until Microsoft officially terminated all support for it on April 11 last year, all technology development based on Vista was still running in the background, but a series of problems eventually caused this system to become "history".
Windows "wrong" lies in the estimation of version development and iteration
At the beginning, the development of Windows on an operating system took about three years, and the development time of system code and other systems took half a year. One year, production, synthesis, testing and other multiple links take about one and a half to two years; during this period, it is not that one link is developed independently until the next link, but some programs are running at the same time.
A large number of functions have been integrated and merged into the main code base, which means that the backbone of system development has been in a fragmented state, making the final development process very confusing.
In this regard, we do not comment or question the working model of Microsoft's internal developers, but this "distribution and troubleshooting" situation is indeed trapped by the high-tempo research and development needs. If you want to keep up with a set of procedures If there is no "scheduling" for testing or even launch, then the launch of some systems will inevitably be "semi-finished products". Numerous inhumane architectures and bugs give users a bad experience. Later, with user feedback and some problems discovered, To gradually solve and improve.
The release cycle of about 3 years means that within 3 years, Microsoft has no knowledge of all the changes and trends in the outside world based on demand. Of course, we dare not say whether Win 10 will be like this now. Think about how many programs reported errors during the installation process when Vista was first launched, and think about how difficult it was to install the system at that time!
The security identification between the supply chain of software vendors has become the biggest hidden danger
No matter when each system is about to be born and goes online, whether the software vendors can actively follow up and adapt becomes the key.
In the Vista system, strict enforcement rules and management boundaries are solved by account control rules. This became the most real-time "solution" at the time, but it also disgusted the vast majority of users. This approach means breaking the independence and usage efficiency of each application in the Windows system.
When the user runs a certain command, the system will always ask the user whether he really intends to increase the permission level. Since installing legacy applications almost always requires elevating privileges, the user's first experience with the system is a large number of account control window pop-ups, which undoubtedly does not leave a good impact on the user.
The solution is to delete the administrative rights from the logged-in user. Once this is done, all programs will not be able to run smoothly, and even installation will become very difficult.
These operations of a so-called security nature imply the need for deep system structural changes to third-party solutions. However, almost all system vendors have not improved the legacy programs because it requires a huge investment in order to achieve the most comprehensive improvements.
Although some software vendors can modify the data structure to achieve synchronization of security certifications, they often cause serious damage to the system, eventually leading to system collapse.
How far can Win10 go?
In fact, Win10 still had many problems when it was first launched. However, in the past few years from the development of Win10 to the launch, Microsoft also realized the past shortcomings and actively improved them, and in Win8 and 8.1 Despite the success achieved by the continuous iteration of the mobile market, Win10 does not present as many problems to users as before. As for how far Win10 still has to go, it depends on how big the hearts of some loyal XP and Win7 users are... …
