Виндоуз 98

Виндоуз 98 – операционная система с лёгким интерфейсом на основе расширенного оконного принципа wliM, использующая иконки для графической презентации файлов и их типов. Виндоуз 98 – усовершенствованная версия Виндоуз 95.

Виндоуз 98 облегчает Ваше взаимодействие с компьютером. Большая часть ежедневных задач теперь решается легче, чем это было раньше. Например, вторая кнопка мыши стала мощным оружием. Заменены старый Программный Менеджер Виндоуз 3.0 и Файловый Менеджер. Инструменты рабочего стола, заменяющие их, очень похожи на те, которые найдены на Макинтоше. Например, есть корзина, облегчающая восстановление случайно удалённых файлов.

Ваш компьютер, возможно, будет давать меньше сбоев при запуске Виндоуз 98, чем при запуске Виндоуз 3.1. и 3.0. и даже ДОС. Решено большинство проблем, связанных с памятью. Встроенные сетевые возможности позволяют легко и надежно обмениваться файлами с коллегами по комнате или по всему миру. Вы по прежнему можете запускать программы ДОС и более ранние приложения Виндоуз, но большинство пользователей, возможно, захочет потратить большую часть своего времени, используя вместо этого приложения Виндоуз 98.

Компания Майкрософт заявляет, что она делает все для того, чтобы приблизить время, когда мы все будем думать больше о наших данных, чем о конкретных «фирменных» программах, которые используются для создания этих данных.

Способность Виндоуз 98 «подключай и играй» позволяет легко обновить компьютерное оборудование. А пользователям портативных компьютеров понравится то, что Майкрософт сделала для того, чтобы сделать их жизнь более спокойной.

Новая функция ярлыков Виндоуз позволяет быстро найти часто используемые файлы и другие  предметы первой необходимости. Новая функция поиска помогает вам расположить и проверить содержание файлов в мгновение ока.

Большая часть этого осуществляется без ущерба для производительности. На самом деле, многие вещи (например, печать), теперь обычно совершаются быстрее благодаря 32 – битной поддержке и другим успехам Виндоуз 98.

Computer society thinks, that Intel company, the most powerful CPU producer, has an agreement with Microsoft corporation that the latter will develop more and more sophisticated, large and demanding software to force users to buy new processors and upgrade their computers. Do you think this might be true? How does this suggestion correlate with the new Windows 2000 and Microsoft Office 2000? Do you think that Bill Gates' monopoly on Windows operating systems is very dangerous for the competition and price-making process?

Collaboration with Microsoft could allow the software giant's upcoming Windows 7 OS to take advantage of multithreaded and multicore Intel chips for faster application performance, according to an Intel official. Microsoft and Intel are working together to give Windows 7 the ability to better identify resources available and break up application processing over multiple chip cores and threads. A feature called SMT parking allows Windows 7 to take advantage of Intel hyperthreading technology for "better performance on hyperthreaded, multicore Intel processors," wrote Joakim Lialias, an Intel alliance manager, in a blog entry on Microsoft's Web site that was posted late Wednesday. This feature will help users break up tasks like video encoding and image filtering over multiple task-execution threads, said George Alfs, an Intel spokesman. "The more cores you have, the better," Alfs said. Intel chips based on its new Nehalem architecture are capable of running two threads per core, and ultimately all of Intel's laptop and desktop chips will be based on Nehalem, Alfs said. The companies also worked together on technologies that could allow Windows 7 to boot and shut down faster, Alfs said. Driver and BIOS-level improvement could improve the start, shut-down, sleep and resume times. Chips based on the Nehalem microarchitecture can go into an idle state faster than earlier chips, and Windows 7 is designed to take advantage of that capability, Alfs said.

Longtime Partners

The cooperation of Intel and Microsoft shouldn't come as a surprise. Most PCs today come with Intel chips and Microsoft's Windows operating system, so there is a benefit in both companies working together. Intel and Microsoft have been collaborating for more than 20 years now, according to Lialias. "Our mutual goal was to provide the most responsive compute experience possible," Lialias wrote. The blog entry also sheds light on specific hardware-related improvements Microsoft is incorporating into the new OS, something the company has been quiet about. Microsoft wasn't immediately available to comment on the topic. Observers have criticized Microsoft's previous operating systems for not taking full advantage of multicore and multithreaded chips. Windows 7 will do a more intelligent job of allocating tasks across hardware resources, said Jim McGregor, chief technology strategist with In-Stat. The traditional way of boosting application performance on PCs was by cranking up CPU clock speed, McGregor said. That led to software being written in a sequential mode for execution on one core, with an increase in clock speed providing the performance boost. But over time, chip makers like Intel started adding cores to boost performance, as cranking up clock speed led to excessive heat dissipation and power consumption.
