Windows Vista, Alloy Function and Beauty
To facilitate file search system, available facilities called box. This feature can be found in the start menu, search windows, windows media player, until the photo gallery. When users type a keyword in it, automatically 'engine' will work automatically and contextually prepare appropriate files so that search results will be immediately visible without the need to wait for the search process.
Windows Vista's built-in also supports document metadata. Data about the title, comments, makers, rating, and other information are attached and can be changed in the files of images, documents, or digital song can also function as keywords. This will simplify the search process, grouping, organizing, and file filtering.
"As we know classify folder alphabetically by already do in Windows XP, but in Vista - thanks to the existence of metadata - the user can group folders based not only on the type and name but also based on information contained in the metadata," said Hermawan Sutanto, Product Manager Windows Client PT Microsoft Indonesia.
High-performance
In addition to easy, whether Windows Vista operating system is faster than its predecessor? To be sure, Microsoft has to optimize initialization on this operating system. Implementation of fact is to implement asynchronous execution startup files. In other words, Vista no longer wait all startup initialization process must be done and completed by the time the computer is able to sort out dinyalakan.Vista startup-tasks that are essential for the windows to be executed and allocating startup-task execution of other applications in the background.
Windows Vista is also equipped with features Sleep Mode feature which is a combination of hibernation and stand by the previous operating system. As well as Hibernate mode, Sleep Mode allows users to save the status of applications and documents, then turn off the computer users in total. Sleep Mode also allows the user to quickly turn off the computer, and turn it back quickly as well as in the stand-by feature. Armed with the ability Sleep Mode users will certainly be spoiled with a level of speed and continue the session start Windows.
Affairs of data processing and memory, there Superfetch feature which is an improvement over Windows XP Prefetcher. This technology monitors the use of programs and data. Results of monitoring a lesson learned for the operating system to guess the amount of data required when an application is executed. At the time the application is executed, quickly Vista will load the required data into the memory. As a result, users will experience increased performance.
It is quite interesting from SuperFetch is support ReadyBoost technology. ReadyBoost technology allows flash drive 2.0 are paired as a USB drive into a storage space SuperFetch cache. With the additional cache, the performance of the operating system has not only increased, but also can free up memory (RAM) which is used by SuperFetch. Updates and patches the operating system becomes more intelligent because it is not required restart.
Nonetheless, Microsoft admits that Windows is an operating system that is large and complex. When combined with a variety of software outside the windows and also attached to the varied hardware it is possible permutation and combination whose value will be very large. As a result, it is simple, it can be said that it is quite difficult to bring the stability of the system with the use of combination possibilities is quite large.
To minimize the possibility of hangs and crashes and improve the stability of the operating system, Vista introduces I / O Cancellation which in essence will make early detection of the program in a state of waiting for I / O (input / output) that are not available at the time. At the time of discovered such circumstances, the operating system can cancel the request for the program and the restoration of state.
The stability of the system will continue to be monitored by the Reliability Monitor. Monitoring system is embodied in a note realibility events. Note that record changes and early detection system to system changes that may affect the stability of the system. Changes like windows update, the addition of software, insertion and removal of the driver, the fundamental problem in hardware drivers, as well as the failure of the Windows operating will be recorded. The record results can be summarized and displayed in the form of reports, allowing users to determine the level of system stability over time.
Problems arising during startup solved with the features of the Startup Repair Tool (SRT). When an error occurs, Vista automatically execute SRT, analysis, and test each line of the startup script that cause startup failures. Vista also gives the user a set of diagnostic tools that help the user to provide a detailed and intuitive diagnosis of Disk Diagnostics, Memory Leak Diagnosis, Windows Resource Exhaustion Detection and Resolution (RADAR), Network Diagnostics, and Windows Diagnostic Console.
"Microsoft has tried as much as possible to bring the best security of Windows Vista operating system," said Hermawan. This is realized by User Account Control to restrict the rights of each user's computer, the Windows Firewall to block access into the unauthorized and access unauthorized., Windows Defender for the prevention and monitoring of various activities suspected of coming from spyware, Internet Explorer Protected Mode, Phishing Filter, Junk Mail Filter, and Parentals Control.
Optimum Format
In addition to features that support the security, stability, and performance, Vista has a file system that applies the technology improvement of NTSF or better known as the Transactional NTFS technology. The new technology also known as technology TxF applying the concept of technology transactional database technology to the file system.
Simply put in the event of an error of the file system, for example, occur because of changes to files on the file system, then TxF technology can rollback to the previous version of the file. This concept is similar to the System Restore feature or Driver Rollback, which distinguishes it is this feature does not work for the whole system or to a set of drivers, but it works for individual files, folders, and hard drive volumes.
Windows Vista supports the latest Microsoft document format known as XML Paper Specification (XPS). Documents published by the XPS format will be opened with any program XPS viewer. The XPS standard has been defined by Microsoft as a document format that free-royalty.
Graphics secret
Display better graphics in Windows Vista supported Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). The unique thing of WPF is a concept which utilizes the full implementation graphicals processing unit (GPU), which is owned by the display adapter hardware. The output vector based WPF so it has better scalability for different resolutions. To make it easy for users to set how the graphical output available from the Windows Desktop Windows Manager (DWM). DWM combined and handle the screen buffer of views belonging Vista.
The combination of WPF and DWM give a sense of quality and performance graphics display the best views owned by the current Windows. Now users no longer exhausted to look shallow. Window Window becomes responsive when switching from one setting to another screen, the action of the movement such as minimize, maximize, windows switch become more beautiful and effective, scaling icon can be done without loss of quality, and transparency effects appear clear and beautiful on Windows tittle bar and borders.
"Windows Vista is the operating system most awaited this moment. I see not only the beauty of the view that the flagship, but also new features that make Vista embedded far more challenging than its predecessor, "said Ridi Ferdiana, Chief Technology Officer of CV. Brainmatics, software house in Yogyakarta.
