Windows 7“功能完成”意味著什么？

Win7之家（ m.airtaxifl.com）：Windows 7“功能完成”意味著什么？

 去年秋天，當(dāng)微軟發(fā)布Windows 7 M3時(shí)，該公司主管曾告訴測(cè)試者直到Windows 7 Beta才會(huì)有全功能版本。

如今，Windows Beta已經(jīng)被泄露，并且微軟也將在CES上公布該版本，也是時(shí)候履行承諾。

很多下載試用了Windows 7 Beta的人都稱該版本很穩(wěn)定了，但是由于與M3相比改進(jìn)不多，因此顯得有點(diǎn)無聊。

這并不讓人驚訝，因?yàn)槲④浿荚趯�Windows 7打造成為Vista本該成為的那樣，更小，更快。當(dāng)然，還得有不少視覺效果，比如Ribbon菜單和觸摸支持等。但不管怎么樣，Windows 7并無法與Vista拉開多大差距，盡管微軟一直在強(qiáng)調(diào)Windows 7是個(gè)大版本號(hào)。

盡管Beta版已經(jīng)是“全功能版”，但這不意味著最終正式版也是如此。通常，微軟所稱的“全功能版”代表軟硬件制造商已經(jīng)可以測(cè)試了，但并不是說用戶界面和設(shè)計(jì)都已經(jīng)完成了。

至于Windows 7的最終用戶協(xié)議，我也認(rèn)為并非最終版本，在正式版發(fā)布前肯定還會(huì)進(jìn)行大修改，另外，我也很懷疑Windows 7是否真的會(huì)只有Home Premium, Professional 和Ultimate3個(gè)版本。

附部分原文：

Last fall, when Microsoft officially took the wraps off Milestone 3 of Windows 7, company execs told testers that a true, feature-complete Windows 7 release wouldn’t hit until Beta 1.

Now that Beta 1 — which the Windows team built on December 12, 2008 — has started leaking on torrents and is poised to make its public debut at the Consumer Electronics show, it’s time to revisit that “feature-complete” promise.

Many individuals who’ve downloaded Build 6.1.7000.0.081212-1400 have noted that the Beta 1 build is solid but also somewhat boring. It seems to offer little beyond the Milestone 3 build, they’ve said.

That’s not too surprising, given the Windows team’s post-Vista mission of making Windows 7 the operating system that Vista should have been. It needs to be smaller, tighter and faster. If it also includes some eye candy, like Ribbon menus and touch-screen support, great. But from all accounts, it isn’t supposed to be a radical departure from Vista (even though the Redmondians are continuing to tag it as a “major” new release).
