The registry, the "technical achievement" that Microsoft talked about, did not bring more practical benefits to our ordinary users. In the previous version of Windows, as long as you use the system for that period of time, you will find that the system will become very slow. This is largely due to the installation and uninstallation of software.

The registry is the chief culprit of Vista's slowdown.

In addition to the registry garbage generated by installing and uninstalling software, every new file you create, every picture and file you receive during the chat will generate junk key values in the registry, and once these key values are generated, the registry itself has no immunity and cleaning ability. So it is not surprising that its increasingly huge body slowly drags down the system.

2. The pre-installed font is more than twice that of the previous version.

Under Windows, each font corresponds to a font file, but the number of font files in different versions of the system is different. For example, there are 37 kinds of Windows 98, 39 kinds of Windows ME, 50 kinds of Windows 2000 and 74 kinds of Windows XP. In Windows Vista, the font type has reached more than 190, which is more than twice that of XP!

In addition to English, there are some Chinese fonts, such as Songti, Imitation Songti, Orthographic and Bold. In Vista, there is also a Microsoft sub-black font that was once regarded as "proud" by Microsoft.

Elegant black fonts were once regarded as pride by Microsoft.

Although the font (library) is huge, how to affect the speed of Vista system and slow it down? What is the reason?

Font files are generally large and occupy a lot of disk space. When the system is started, all installed fonts will be preloaded. The more visible fonts, the greater the impact on the system startup speed! According to some "hardcore" users' tests, when there are more than 500 fonts, some fonts will disappear from the font list of the application, and the startup speed of Windows will be greatly reduced.

Little knowledge:

Fonts in Windows system are extremely important resources, and the content display of all applications can not be separated from the support of corresponding fonts. If there is something wrong with the font of the system, it will display an exception, and even the program and system will not run normally.

In addition to the fonts that come with the system, they will also install custom fonts in the system when installing some large-scale software. Such as Office, Photoshop, etc.

A little anecdote about Microsoft fonts;

Microsoft designed a new Segoe UI font for Windows Vista operating system and Office 2007 software, and submitted a patent application to the European Union Internal Market Trademark Integration Authority, preparing to make Segoe UI font its own patent in Europe as one of the selling points of promoting Vista system. Never thought, the EU simply ignored it, and the application was rejected by the EU Trademark Committee.

It was just rejected. The European Union also said that Microsoft's fonts are the result of plagiarism, because Microsoft's fonts are too similar to Linotype's Fruit Next fonts, and they are not qualified to apply for patents. Guohu is a very popular font in it field, which can be seen in many companies' publicity media.

3. Third-party antivirus software is hard to blame.

Strictly speaking, this problem should not be blamed on Vista. Why do you say that? The author thinks that it should be analyzed from two aspects. The first is the problem of killing itself (sword control), and its compatibility with Vista needs to be improved.

Problems with third-party antivirus software

In particular, the above picture does not mean that Jiang Min, Jinshan, Rising and Vista have conflicts. Take these three companies as an example, because they are the "bosses" of domestic soft kill manufacturers, and they are representative.

The author and roommates usually like to go to some websites with low security, or not very well-known personal websites, so we should install some fire prevention and antivirus software. In the use of the author and roommates, I feel that the system is obviously slowed down by installing some software killers. Especially when I open Office files and use IE to open some websites, the performance is particularly obvious.

In fact, these problems will also occur in other versions of Microsoft's operating system, and Vista is not the only one with this problem. Furthermore, these problems have little to do with Vista. This is mainly due to the control of the sword itself on killing.

When users browse web pages, send emails and open Office files, jian controls are basically embedded in the software, which leads to slow file opening. At this time, many netizens attributed the problem to a system problem and thought that Vista system was running slowly. From this perspective, we seem to have misunderstood Vista.

4. Bundle multiple. NET running environment.

Friends who are familiar with software development should know this guy. He can be said to be the killer of the system running speed, but we ordinary users don't know it.

. NET brought down Vista system.

As far as I know. NET must not be used as a desktop application because it is too slow. The specific performance is that the startup is slow and the processing work is greatly delayed. It is also for this reason that few desktop applications are used. Current network. Even Microsoft dare not use it to develop desktop applications. If it is embodied in what aspects, I think it should be caused by the following two points:

First, when. NET is installed, a large number of key values will be written into the registry. According to the data, every time a. NET environment is installed, at least tens of thousands of key values will be written into the registry (key). The second point is that many DLL files will be loaded when Windows starts.

It can be seen. The net is really "heinous". But the most annoying thing is that it is very closely integrated with the system, and it is reasonable for Vista operating system to slow down or even drag its feet.

5. Gorgeous aerodynamics, flip 3D effect and fantastic desktop.

Aero and Flip 3D technologies introduced by Vista make the system more attractive to some extent, which has won the favor of many beauty-loving users. But if you have something, you will lose it. Gorgeous 3D special effects and glass special effects have the capital to "challenge" the Mac in terms of interface effect, but at the cost of the user's hardware configuration must be improved. Otherwise, these Vista special effects can only be empty talk.

Vista special effects

Although Microsoft claims that Vista special effects will not slow down the system, this is not Microsoft's "statement" to solve whether users will slow down the system during use.

In my opinion, apart from Aero and Flip 3D, DreamScene, which can only be used in Vista's flagship version, is "worse" in consuming and slowing down the system. According to the author's installation test, only one English language pack is installed (English language pack must be installed when installing DreamScene), and when the dream desktop really enters the system, the burden brought to the system is even more difficult to calculate.
