不過,已經有以下事情發生:
Windows 7 upgrade paralyses some PCs with endless reboots一些急不及待想升級到 Windows 7 的用家發覺,
在安裝 Windows 7 升級版 ( 由 Vista 升級至 7 ) 時,安裝程式中途中止,重新啟動電腦又再啟動 Windows 7 安裝程式,如是者電腦不斷重新啟動,無法使用。
而微軟 Microsoft 對於這個問題仍然未有解決方法:
Windows 7 endless reboot answer evades Microsoft不過,Microsoft 的高級職員 Ben Bennett 竟然說:
In terms of the top issues of customers who choose to upgrade, the
XP-to-Windows 7 [upgrade] is up there on the list for lots of reasons.
The netbook upgrade scenario -- how do I upgrade my netbook to Windows
7 -- is also a big one. And another is, 'Where are my applications?'
after people have upgraded. They wonder what happened to e-mail and
photo editing, for example. Those are the top issues so far.
完全沒有提到這個升級導致不斷重新啟動的問題,即是說這個問題對 Microsoft 來說並不是需要立即解決的問題。不知那些遇到這個問題的用家聽到這種說法會怎麼想?Microsoft 只擔心如何可以誘使使用 Windows XP 的用家 ( 包括使用 Netbook 的用家 ) 付錢將他們的 Windows XP 升級到 Windows 7 ( 因為這可能是一個很可觀的收入來源 ) 而不理會用家在升級過程中會遇到或可能會遇到的問題。
我以前曾經說過,
Microsoft 已經淪為一間只顧賺錢而完全漠視一般用家利益的公司了。這件事在我眼中不啻於再次證實了我之前的想法。
有一位網友就說得好:
I too recommend that a clean install is the way to go, but we have
to remember that the average Joe consumer out there does not want to
reinstall everything and if Microsoft says you can do an in-place
upgrade, it should work.
What bothers me the most is that Microsoft is trying to downplay the
issue. Blowing off customers is not going to get them any points. They
need to get some engineers working on the issue and tell the public
they are working on the problem.
還有一件事不要忘記,你是不能由 Windows XP 直接升級到 Windows 7 的。如果你想要將一部運行 Windows XP 的電腦升級到 Windows 7,你必須備份所有資料,然後將 Windows XP 移除,再重新安裝 Windows 7,即是所謂的 Clean Install。
我看到網上有人提議,遇到這種情況,可以先將 XP 升級到 Vista,然後再由 Vista 升級到 7:
Anyhow, although you can't do an "in-place" upgrade from XP to 7, you
*can* do such an upgrade to Vista first (but only for as long as it
takes to upgrade to 7 - I'm not a fool). Upgrade to Vista, then
immediately upgrade to 7. Both "in-place", and all of your files and
apps will work just fine, if they work with 7 at all. Most of them will.
我就認為,一次升級可能已經有很多問題 ( 例如以上的電腦不斷重新啟動 ),何況兩次?這種建議很大機會不可行。另外一個問題是,如果 Windows XP 是運行得很暢順,為什麼要花這麼多功夫升級?Windows 7 是不是真的比 Windows XP 好得多?
我覺得大家在考慮是否替舊電腦升級到 Windows 7 時,應該好好想一想這個問題。如果你真的想用 Windows 7 而不懂自行安裝,不如就先等一下,然後買一部預載了 Windows 7 的電腦不是更好嗎?
至於我自己,目前我沒有打算安裝 Windows 7,可見的將來也應該不會。我會仍然繼續用 Windows XP 和 Windows Server 2003。
