Handy applications in Windows 7 get upgraded, such as calculator, paint and wordpad, let’s see what’s changed in calc this time.
Windows 里那些小程序在 Win7 里也升级了，其中包括计算器，画图和写字板，这次我们先看计算器。

In earlier version of Windows including WinXP and Vista, calc provides only Standard and Scientific modes, you may not have to find out there is a Scientific mode in Calc, it’s used mostly by people like programmers who need something like HEX–>BIN conversion (don’t know what it is? forget it). Now in Win7, there are 4: Standard, Scientific, Programmer and Statistics. Other new features are History and Unit Conversion.
包括 XP 和 Vista 在内的早期 Windows 里的计算器只有 标准和科学 两种模式，当然，有些人一辈子也不需要点一次“查看”菜单去发现里面原来还有个 “科学型”，有些人则大半辈子都离不开这个“科学型”。Win7 现在扩充到了4 种：标准，科学，程序员 和 统计学。还有些新功能在下面截图里有演示：历史和单位转换。

Standard mode, 标准模式

Scientific mode，科学计算

Programmer mode, the demo video below shows in this mode. Why? because I am a developer, this is my favorite mode. Binary also displays, long live bit mask.
程序员模式，也是下面视频演示操作用的模式。

Statistics mode, 统计学模式

My earlier posts about Win7 showed Control Panel, let’s see it in action.
以前控制面板只有截图，这次是操作上的小变化。

NOKIA 买了 Trolltech，Microsoft 可能要 Logitech。

The acquisition of Trolltech will enable Nokia to accelerate its cross-platform software strategy for mobile devices and desktop applications, and develop its Internet services business.

在 FAQ 里:

Why does Nokia acquire Trolltech?
- The key driver for Nokia in this acquisition is cross-platform development.
- Trolltech’s technology will enable Nokia and third parties to develop software across platforms easier and more cost effectively; this speeds up innovation and brings new experiences to Nokia’s device portfolio and onto PCs.

Qt 以及 Qtopia 确实不错，可以帮助一个有远大志向的 Nokia 甚至是 Nckia 想前迈进一大步……不过，这个…… Internet services 是哪档子事儿？雄心勃勃的 Nokia 最近表现活跃，具体怎么做，等着看。

在多年的坚持—-如果不是挣扎的话—- Trolltech 和 MySql 差不多，都卖了豪门，终究找到了一个安心不疲惫的归宿，莫非这也是解释为什么张敏周慧敏（如果没有毛阿敏的话）嫁给什么人的原因？总的来说，Nokia 还算靠谱的主儿，在主观意愿和客观能力上应该会给 Trolltech 更好的发展机会，这对所有 Trolltech 产品和技术的使用者来说，是个好消息，无论是公司，开发者，社区还是最终用户都有正面的预期和光明的前景。如果碰上 ICQ 卖给 AOL 那样的场景，咱还是洗洗睡了好了。

Microsoft 的盈利在一片唱衰声中继续高奏凯歌，这点我十分中意 feng兄 的 专业与假装专业 的说法，唱衰声中最活跃的那些是什么深浅好像也很明显。不缺金元的 Microsoft 被传言有意收购 Logitech，当然不是为了多卖几个鼠标，该是在 XBOX，Media Center，Surface 等等产品/技术打造消费电子产品时用得上。

最后给个建议，做 start up 而且想以最终卖掉为目标的哥们，记得把公司名字带个 XX Tech 哟，最近贼吃香。

Internet Explorer 7: minor version changes

Remember this system properties dialogue?

And this one? Backup and recovery related settings.

Seldom do I use Windows Mail but I think the version number can be viewed as an indication (for some guys).

Well, here comes the most stirring (or heart breaking) part. Features demo: sizeable search box and pin-able start menu items

There won’t be any download link, BT seed or anything like that. I got it from an internal source, not from anywhere on the Internet. I don’t know where to download Windows 7 from the Internet. If you know, tell me.

Huge traffic since my 2 posts in the last 2 days. I just started to worry about I’ll be hunted by a big name company. But if they do that, they are confirming something… Shall I call my lawyer?

Well, one of the most interesting things in the whole story is that I find so much funny idiots who bring so much fun to me by their comments and the way in which they understand and judge things. For example, many guys said that “UI doesn’t change much, it’s fake!”, well, they think Operating Systems are game consoles, graphic things are the most important. Some others: ”the version number is 6.x, it’s not 7!”, “the Logo is same as Vista, it’s not 7!”, “the Media Center version is 6.x and shows Vista, it’s not 7!” Oh great, buffoons always speak out loudly and proudly what they ‘find out’ without knowing the context of what they see. Not being a computer professional is not, absolutely not, wrong or improper. But being a non-computer professional, you pretend to be a pro and make stupid judgment on some pro things is absolutely sad. Come on, learn something about Windows history, the development or some other common sense. You have been insulting yourself and giving me chances to see buffoonery you show. Wow really funny.

I’m looking for a good DV, not a camera shipped with a cell phone. For clear video, keep tuning. Oh, by the way, let’s see what those stupid will say, I’m waiting.

本只是想描述一下事实，不想引来些注意，关于上一篇 现实版 Windows 7，说明一点：都是真的。我确实姓周，可惜不叫正龙。从光盘到安装使用过程，到截图，无伪造，无 Photoshop。

我不觉得 Win7 M1 看上去没有大得变化有什么好奇怪的，特别是这个“没有大的变化”只是说 UI 而已。只有黑猩猩才总是觉得香蕉很黄很暴力就很好吃一样，傻X 总是认为界面变化很大才说明整个系统变化很大。

今天又看了一下 license。这个 M1 版本在 2008 年 5 月 7 日到期。

新截图和视频在本页最下面。

I was about to share something interesting about Windows 7 in my last post, Windows 7: The Real Thing. The ISO image, installation, evaluation and the screenshots are all real. I mean there is no Photoshop or anything like that involved.

I’m not a person who makes himself complacent by faking something hot, neither will I be unhappy if someone denies the real information I posted. I don’t mean to draw much attention, especially from those suckers. When I post images, there is Photoshop, when a piece of video, there is something called Premiere, or DreamWorks?

I don’t think there is anything wrong, disappointing or weird that Windows 7 Milestone 1 isn’t greatly different from Vista. It’s only Milestone 1 so lots of code may be reused. Besides, even we can’t see much visual changes (say, user interfaces), that doesn’t mean Win7 internals don’t change greatly.

Here from the release notes, I read
The software will stop running on May 7, 2008. You may not receive any other notice. You may not be able to access data used with the software when it stops running.

性能监视器，layout 变化了些。Performance monitor， layout changes compared with that of Vista。

可靠性监视器。Reliability monitor。

比较完整的 boot 过程，界面和查看信息，本来想录一下 Media Center，不过最后发现手机不够好，不清楚，讲究一下吧。

最近出了几个 Windows 7 的消息，梦话我不擅长，打击梦话还是可以的。

事实是，Windows 7 的第一个 Milestone 确实出来了，真正样子离那些臆想自然很远。

M1 里比较新的东西有：支持多个不同的显示适配器，也就是可以在同一台机器上同时使用不同显卡接多个显示器；更新更强的 Media Center。另外按 Win7 的计划，只有 XDDM 驱动才能被使用，为 XP 认证的都不行了。

Win7 规划的发布步骤是出三个 Milestone，然后是 Beta，RC，RTM。M1 是 2008 年 1 月，M2 是 4/5 月，M3 是 3 季度，Beta 和 RC 待定，RTM 大概是 2009 的 下半年。算下来，也就是 Vista 发布后的 3 年，3 年一升级也不算差，比 Vista “5年才搞定”的名声要好得多。

拿到 M1 ISO 为 6519.1.071220-1525，IA32 和 X64 都有，带或者不带 debug 信息随选，Free 是不带的，Checked 是带的。

安装机器是 Bealake/G33 主板，板载显卡，另外一块 ATI X300SE 128M，Core 2 Duo 2.66G，1G 内存，这个配置不算高，正好看看跑得顺畅不。板载显卡用 Vista 的驱动可以安装，chipset inf 因为要检查版本就没装了，ATI 卡始终没有可用的驱动，放弃。

安装界面与过程和 Vista 很相似，甚至在选择不同版本的时候字样还是 Vista Ultimate，Vista Home Premium 等，不过 Pre-Release 协议文本里已经写成 “Windows 7” 了。分区界面自动划出一个 500M 的分区，貌似是支持 EFI 的缘故，这个不确定。中间会重启一次，这次之后再重启就进入 Win7 了。

启动后的第一次设置和 Vista 相同，包括帐户名，机器名，时区，桌面背景等。在启动界面的下方，写着大大的 “Windows 7 Ultimate”

以下缩略图点击均可查看大图

桌面，右下角的字样和 feedback tool 是标配

因为是 M1 的缘故，和 Vista 外观并无非常大的区别，版本还在 6.x 徘徊。

自带了一些新程序—-不过不意味着最终的 Win7 也会带这些—- XPS Viewer EP，查看 Office 2007 文档的工具，其实在 XPS Essentials Pack 也有了。

PowerShell 已经放进来了。

右下角的托盘里不再显示 Sidebar 控制了，其实我是想关掉 Sidebar 的—-在用到 42 寸显示器之前都会让它关着。管理 systray 上的图标，有了这个新界面。

控制面板里多了一些东西，比如 Recovery Center，调字体大小的 Display，Windows Sensors，
