Editor's Editor's editor of the famous computer magazine "PC Magazine", with the arrival of the 2005 New Year, he sent a New Year's greetings to Mr. Gates, the President of Microsoft. Of course, it also expresses some complaints ...
Dear Bill, the new year, first, thank you for your contributions from the first PC birth. My work, life is more comfortable because there is a computer, more efficient. However, in this happiness surface is a daily annoyance, some simple things are not goingily conducted. Below I list, the top ten letters of using the computer, I hope that Mr. Gates can see and solve in Microsoft's future hot products:
1) System resources will never be enough
My job laptop configuration is 1.6GHz Pentium M, 512MB memory, 80G hard drive and ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 display chip, which is definitely enough according to the recommended configuration of Windows XP Pro, which is provided. I should be a senior user, often open 6, 7 web pages, 6 Word documents, Photoshop, AIM, etc. The good news is that it can also support it at the beginning, but I have a bad habit, often not shut down for a few days, convenient to work at any time. The problem is that such a configuration still does not meet the requirements, the old says that "system resources are insufficient", and often without any tips, the speed is slower, and the document is not reacted for a long time, so this ...
2) It's time to give more annotations.
Sometimes, when the system stops responding, it is actually not locked, you can find it is busy in the background, but it is not possible to restore this window, the worst thing is that this is usually done in its work. Time happened. Bill, have you ever thought about providing an information strip that constantly scrolling update system activity, providing some information like "Close Word Document", "Save XXX.xls Computer Table Files in Backstage"?
3) Sometimes, even if you know what the system is doing, still useless
If my system falls in a similar inactive state, I usually call the Ctrl-Alt-delete summoning task manager, but unfortunately, the successful opportunity is only 50%. This should keep 100% success rate!
4) Sometimes the information provided by the system says it is the same as
Sometimes after the task manager is successfully opened, I want to see what is eroding the system resources, I found that I have the most resource is always Word, Outlook, and IE. I can't close them, because most of the work is on, let go of the system, and it has been slow. This kind of difficult situation is the most depressed!
5) Sometimes it will lose my file
My IBM T40 integrates a wireless network, so I will often take him in the office. Sometimes some open Word files are inexplicably damaged when there is room between wired and wireless networks. Even if there is no save action before switching, it will become unreadable garbled. I have lost a lot of files like this. You can save a file before moving, but you can't save the current information. Speaking of useless for use the "end" Dialog Box That Appears
6) Word will slow down slow operation of Outlook
Outlook does not log as a mail client. If you use Word to make a mail editor, you can also get some nice features. But when this is "snoring" in Word, Outlook is also slow. Bill, is there a way to let Word "quietly dead" without affecting Outlook? Or improve the Outlook text editor, give up Word calculation?
7) Slutmentous intelligent label (Smart Tags)
I really hate smart tags! They appear above my documents, providing some unused information, sometimes even blocking the text I want to see, the most troublesome is that it will not be removed once it appears. Thank you for providing a convenient way to close this feature, but why not simply remove this annoying and useless features? 8) Useless information
One day, my system is slow, and there is a pop-up window telling me that the hard disk is full. This made me shocked because there were more than 40G free space when I was last seen it. To view the properties of the hard drive, just as expected, half is empty. So why do you have such information?
Speaking that there is no information, have you tried to use the "End Task" dialog to terminate a program, but repeat multiple times, this action will appear "XXX program stop responding, will close" dialog box?
Why is Windows that are always developing to a bad level, run to tell you that it fixes a serious error and is prepared to report to the user? At this time I usually reject it, because you can't get any information or solution. This is why?
9) Windows / Word / IE collects too many garbage
Recently, my system speed is slow to an unprecedented level, signs and PCs lack of hard disk space. Although the right click attribute shows the remaining space of GB, I still decided to do some disk cleanup work. When I select the "Disk Clearance" of the C disk, there is a dialog to tell me 126MB Internet temporary files, 367MB of temporary files, 4GB compressed old files and 2.5GB offline files. I don't understand why there are so many files? Also walk the entire system like a spider web? Why don't you have a lot of hard drives, as long as your internet temporary file is full, the speed of browsing the network will greatly decline?
10) In reducing the volume and more intelligence never tired
Outlook, Word, IE and Windows are both large and complicated software. Do you have to think about it to lose weight? I know that Windows should support 10,000 applications and a variety of hardware is very difficult, but you have been doing this for more than eight years. Is it going to be compatible with your responsibility? It is time to launch a smaller, smarter Windows, Outlook, Word? You fully have the ability to make desktops and notebooks lighter, cleaner and no errors.
Thank you for your listening, Bill. I wish you a happy new year, and please ask your family.
