Because choices are good?因为选择是好？ Or because there would be more money to be milked?或因为会有更多的金钱来挤奶？ Perhaps the victims of having 8 different flavors of Windows Vista are the software vendors, who would have to explain the differences between each edition to their customers.也许是受害者有8个不同口味的Windows Vista是软件供应商，谁便要解释之间的分歧每个版本，以他们的客户。
Here’sa quick rundown of the 8 product editions:以下是快速裁减的8个产品版本：
Windows Starter 2007 Windows Vista Starter - This edition does not include the 精简的Windows 2007的Windows Vista精简 -这版不包括 Aero graphical user interface航空的图形用户界面 , hence it’s not Vista-branded.因此，这不是Vista的品牌。 And there’s no 64-bit edition, no networking, no Fast User Switching, no DVD Authoring, no gaming common controller support, and no image editing with enhanced touchup, and only three applications/windows are allowed to run simultaneously.有没有64位版本，没有网络，没有快速用户切换，没有DVD创作，没有共同的游戏控制器的支持，并没有图像编辑与加强touchup ，只有三个应用/视窗能够同时运行。 Good only for really basic users with low budgets.良好的，只有真正的基本用户与低预算。

Windows Vista Ultimate - This one is going to be the most expensive, most feature-packed, and perhaps the most pirated edition of Vista.

“Most geeks and IT professionals will want to go for this edition.” “最同好和IT专业人员将要去的这版” 。
No, I have this gut feeling that most geeks and IT professionals will, by the time this “lineup” finally ships, will be quite eager to go for Linux.不，我有这个直觉，大部分同好和IT专业人员会，由时间，这个“阵容”最后的船只，将十分渴望去为Linux 。
There are different distributions of Linux, sure, but most differences revolve around package management and installation method; you’ll be hard-pressed to find a Linux out there that restricts how many applications a user can run at one time to three .有不同的分布， Linux的肯定，但大多数的分歧围绕一揽子管理和安装方法;您将很难压找到一个Linux有限制多少宗申请，用户可以运行在同一时间为三个 。

As for Linux, the average consumer will find the number of distributions to be a lot more confusing.至于Linux的，一般消费者会发现人数的分布，以会有很多更加混乱。 It doesn’t matter if most of the Linux distros are similar.不要紧，如果大部分的Linux版本类似。 The fact is there are dozens of different distros and not many of them have words to indicate what market it is targeting.事实是，有几十个不同的distros ，而不是他们中的许多话，表明什么，这是市场定位。 What I mean by that is having an indication of Home or Business.我的意思是有一个迹象显示家庭或企业。

Alright, to answer some questions, Vista ~WILL~ replace XP for many applications.好吧，回答一些问题， Vista的〜会〜取代XP的许多应用。 This is because DirectX is now integrated as a main component of the OS, instead of a seperate set of executables like in previous Windows releases.这是因为DirectX是现在作为一个主要组成部分的操作系统，而不是一个单独的一套可执行文件一样，在以前的Windows版本。 That means that rather than use Windows code for sound processing (or video, network, and even I/O processing) And then initialize DirectX to allow accelleration of the audio, now DirectX just handles it all.这意味着，而不是使用Windows代码为声音处理（或视频，网络，甚至I / O处理） ，然后初始化的DirectX ，让加速音频，现在的DirectX只是处理这一切。 It basically replaces most the OS.它基本上取代了大部分的操作系统。
If you play games, expect all post-Vista releases to only work on Vista.如果你玩游戏，期望所有后Vista的发布，只有在Vista上的工作。 20-30% of slowdown in games comes from the buffer between Windows and DirectX, so naturally the speed boost of pure DirectX will make the old setup obsolete. 20-30 ％的放缓，在游戏中，来自缓冲区之间的Windows和DirectX ，所以自然的速度增加纯的DirectX将旧体制已经过时。 Not to mention that game devs hate to re-write game code, and there’sa lot to rewrite in a Vista-to-XP port.更遑论游戏DEVS的仇恨来重新写入游戏源代码，并有很多重新改写，在Vista的到XP的港口。 Put simply, Vista is the gaming OS of choice.简而言之， Vista是游戏操作系统的选择。
As for those of you saying the Beta sucks, I agree.至于那些你说的Beta sucks为，我同意。 It’sa beta, remember that.这是试用版，请记住这一点。 It’s not optimized for anything yet, has poorly written drivers, and few applications run when Vista tries to convert them to the DirectX system.这不是优化的事情，但已不佳的书面司机，和几个应用程序时运行Vista的尝试转换他们的DirectX系统。 I expect that all of this will be fixed by full release, as they are easily solved problems.我期望所有这一切都将固定充分释放，因为他们是容易解决的问题。 Hell, if you’ve played the game FEAR you’d know that the demo crawled from inefficiencies, but the full game was a lot faster.地狱，如果您所发挥的游戏恐怕您要知道，演示抓取从低效率，但充分的游戏是一个快很多。
Then there’s the Linux and OSX guys.然后还有Linux和OSX上家伙。 I use both regularly.我用这两个定期。 I don’t like them as much as Windows, but they work fine.我不喜欢他们一样的Windows ，但他们工作的罚款。 Nothing wrong there.有没有什么不妥。 Vista, however, works on a totally new level of standards. Vista中，但是，工程对一个完全新的水平的标准。 If there were a true next-gen of OS’s, Vista would be the only one in that category, like the xBox 360 is doing on console markets.如果有一个真正的下一代操作系统的方面， Vista将成为唯一一个在这一类别中，像Xbox 360是做对控制台市场。 (On a counter-note, I hate the 360, lol.) The simplicity of OSX was awesome for last generation, and the free open-source of Linux is always a huge plus, but they just can’t hold a candle to the functionallity, refined process handling, and soon-to-be wide application range of Vista. （关于反注意到，我恨360 ， lol 。 ）的简单OSX上是可怕的上一代，以及免费开放原始码的Linux始终是一个巨大的加号，但他们只是不能举行蜡烛向functionallity ，优雅的过程处理，并尽快到广泛的应用范围Vista的。 Show me a next-gen Mac OS, or a Linux that runs EVERYTHING, DirectX apps included, and they’ll hapily be residing as my second OS anyday.显示我一个下一代的Mac OS ，或Linux的运行的一切，以及对DirectX应用服务包括在内，他们将hapily居住作为我的第二个操作系统anyday 。 Right now I’m sticking with XP and Vista.我现在坚持与XP和Vista的。

I’ve been a dedicated Microsoft Windows user for the past several years, now.我一直在一个专用的Microsoft Windows用户在过去的几年里，现在。 However, I like to consider myself platform-neutral, since I’m comfortable using Apple and Linux based computers.不过，我想考虑自己的平台中立的，因为我很舒适的使用苹果电脑和基于Linux操作系统的电脑。
Open PC Platform:开放的PC平台：
Let’s get back to basics for a few seconds and discuss what an “open PC platform” is.让我们回到基本为几秒钟，并讨论什么是“开放的PC平台” 。 An open PC platform is one where ANYONE can buy off-the-shelf PC hardware components and build their own PC – mixing, matching, and upgrading hardware at their own discretion.一个开放的PC平台是一个任何人都可以购买小康-现成的P C硬件组件和建立自己的个人电脑â € “的混合，匹配和升级硬件在各自的酌情权。 Moreover, depending on the PC architecture one chooses, the user has the option of installing one of various operating systems (OS) to suit their needs.此外，根据对PC架构有一选择，用户选择安装一个不同的操作系统（ OS ）的，以切合他们的需要。
Microsoft Windows:在Microsoft Windows ：
Microsoft Windows, to a fair extent, has embraced and leveraged the open PC platform in its mission to dominate the world’s PC market (this is one of the main reasons why Apple’s computers, which are relatively closed systems, have never been able to gain a market share large enough to compete with Microsoft). Microsoft Windows时，以一个公平的程度，已接受和杠杆开放PC平台在其使命主宰世界的PC市场（这是其中一个主要的原因，苹果电脑的，这是相对封闭的系统，从未能够获得的市场份额大到足以与微软竞争） 。 Windows users, up to Windows 98, have enjoyed this freedom to custom configure, swap, and upgrade their components. Windows用户，到Windows 98 ，享有这种自由，以自定义配置，掉期，以及提升他们的组成部分。 However, with the introduction of Windows XP, Microsoft decided it would be a good idea to protect their OS from unauthorized duplication by tying its installation with the CPU, motherboard, and hard drive serial numbers and requiring online registration.但是，随着引进的Windows XP ，微软决定这将是一个好主意来保护他们的操作系统从未经许可复制由绑其安装的CPU ，主板和硬盘的序号，并要求网上报名。
Microsoft’s DRM Direction for Windows Vista (aka Longhorn):微软的数字版权管理的方向，适用于Windows Vista （又名长） ：
As I’ve stated before, most of the DRM Microsoft is introducing in its future OS release is designed to appease the MPAA and RIAA.正如我刚才已经说明之前，大部分的微软的DRM是引进在其未来的操作系统版本是旨在安抚MPAA的和RIAA 。 It turns out that having only a software based DRM solution, in their eyes, is not sufficient for the playback of copy-protected content on a PC.原来，话虽如此，只有基于软件的DRM解决方案，在他们眼中，是不足够的播放版权保护的内容在PC上。 Content owners are demanding both a software and hardware DRM solution before they are comfortable letting digital works play on a PC.内容所有者的要求，既是一个软件和硬件的DRM解决方案之前，他们是舒适，让数字作品发挥在PC上。 (Remember, though, that 90% of what people use their computers for are commonplace tasks like: writing e-mail, surfing the Web, word processing, finances, and gaming.) （请记住，虽然，有90 ％的是什么人用他们的电脑是司空见惯的任务，例如：写电子邮件，网上冲浪，文字处理，财务，和游戏） 。
So what does this mean?因此，这是什么意思？ The open platform PC you have grown to love is inevitably going to disappear (at least for Windows users).开放平台的PC ，您已发展到爱情是无可避免的将会消失（至少为Windows用户） 。 Here’s what my crystal ball shows me (see Media Advances for the Windows PC Architecture, The Four Musketeers, and Intel to cut Linux out of the content market):这里的什么我的水晶球，表明我（见媒体的进步为Windows的PC架构， 4 musketeers ，以及英特尔削减Linux的退出内容市场） ：
In order to have a trusted/secure computer for the playback of premium digital content, computer owners will be required to have the following certified, DRM-embedded hardware: CPU, motherboard, hard drive, graphics card, sound card, and monitor (yes, even the monitor).为了有一个值得信赖的/安全的计算机为播放的保费数字内容，电脑拥有者将须有以下的认证， DRM的嵌入式硬件：中央处理器，主板，硬盘驱动器，绘图卡，音效卡，和监测（是，连监视器） 。
Microsoft Overview: Windows Longhorn Output Content Protection:微软概述：在Windows Longhorn的输出内容保护：
Protected Video Path (PVP) provides encryption of premium content as it passes over the user-accessible PCIe bus to discrete graphics cards.受保护的视频路径（ PVP ）的提供加密的保费内容，因为它通过在用户可访问的PCIe总线离散图形卡。 It uses Diffie Hellman to establish a session key and seeded hardware functionality scan (HFS) for authentication, and an AES 128-bit counter mode and an optional high-bandwidth cipher to encrypt the data.它使用的Diffie海尔曼建立一个会话密钥和种子的硬体功能扫描（居所资助计划）进行验证，和一AES 128位计数器模式和一个可选的高带宽的密码加密的数据。
Output protection management (OPM) provides secure control of the various output protection schemes such as High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP), Macrovision, CGMS-A, and resolution constrictors.输出保护管理（ OPM ）提供安全控制的各种输出保护计划，如高带宽数字内容保护（ HDCP ）的， Macrovision的，协调小组的一个，和解决constrictors 。 It uses a simpler form of HFS for authentication and requires content industry robustness rules to be met for hardware implementations.它使用一个简单形式的居所资助计划进行验证，并要求内容产业的鲁棒性的规则必须满足的硬件实现。 [Note: OPM is incompatible with most monitors sold today. [注：自由巴布亚运动是不符合大多数显示器出售的今天。 Joe Wilcox explains, “People with non-supported monitors would not be able to play certain types of content, presumably high-definition, at all or full quality.”]乔威尔科克斯解释说： “人与不支持的显示器将无法发挥某些类型的内容，假定高清晰度，在全部或全面质量” 。 ]
Protected User-Mode Audio (PUMA) is the user-mode audio engine (completely new for Windows Longhorn) that runs in the software protected environment.保护用户模式音频（美洲豹）是用户模式音频引擎（完全新的用于Windows的Longhorn ）中运行的软件保护环境。 PUMA also includes the same level of audio output protection management that Secondary Audio Programming (SAP) provides in Windows XP, but it is done in a completely different way and takes advantage of the Windows Longhorn software PE.美洲豹，还包括同样水平的音频输出保护管理中学音频节目（ SAP ）的规定，在Windows XP中，但它是做了一个完全不同的方式和利用的Windows Longhorn的软件体育。
Protected Audio Path (PAP) is a longer term project to introduce audio encryption all the way to the audio codec chips.受保护的音频路径（子宫颈抹片）是一个较长远的项目引入音频加密所有的方式向音频编解码器芯片。
Significant hardware features must be implemented in graphics chips for Windows Longhorn to support PVP and OPM, with additional larger implications for the drivers.显着的硬体功能，必须落实在图形芯片的Windows Longhorn的支持外汇交易同步交收和自由巴布亚运动，与额外的较大的影响，为司机。 This session provides an overview of those requirements.本次会议提供了一个概述了这些要求。
The bottom line is that if you decide to swap out one of the above mentioned hardware items with a non-certified component, the system will be crippled, or worse, unable to boot!底线是，如果您决定要更换之一，上述的硬件项目与非认证的组成部分，该系统将削弱，或者更糟的是，无法开机！ That’s the impression I’m getting.说的印象，我收到。 On top of that, I can see the scenario where you’ll have to update your registration with Microsoft every time you change a component – unless your computer can talk to an online Microsoft hardware database that can give the computer the green light to claim itself a “protected environment” once it checks in.最重要的是，我可以看到的情况下，您可以更新您的登记与微软每一次你改变的一个组成部分â € “除非您的计算机都可以谈，以一个在线Microsoft硬件的数据库，可以让电脑大开绿灯索赔本身就是一个“受保护的环境” ，一旦检查英寸
My other concern is with software developers.我的其他令人关注的是与软件开发商。 If Microsoft is disabling software that circumvents copy-protection, how about software that uses codecs that Microsoft doesn’t deem secure?如果微软是禁用的软件，绕开拷贝保护，如何对软件使用的编解码器，微
