1、内存使用的问题:这是个大误区,很多人都用xp时代的眼光来审视Windows 7,这是错误的,因为两者的内存使用机制本身就不同。打个比方,2G内存装win7,开机显示占用500mb左右,4G内存装win7,开启则占用1G 多,内存越大占用就越大。xp则基本是固定的,2G和4G装完系统的内存占用率都差不多。所以说,用xp那套理论来看待win7本身就错了。建议阅读 《Win7占用内存多是聪明的、故意的》这篇文章。
2、uac的问题:其实这是个很好的机制,开启了uac起码很多病毒无法偷偷执 行,因为任何系统的变动都需要经过uac的确认。开启了uac就意味着多了一道让你知道系统在干吗的手续,安全性也就更高一些。当然 administrator帐户也是一样的,正因为administrator拥有最高的权限,所以很多病毒或者黑客程序可以轻松利用其做很多事而让你无 法得知,更况且还有很多人不设置密码,简直就是给黑客和病毒敞开了大门,使用权限低一些的帐户对于安全系数来说本身是很好的。其实xp原版在安装完毕后也 会让你新建一个帐号而不是使用administrator,只不过因为国内的精简、ghost版xp太多,而它们默认是使用administrator 的,所以很多人就习惯性地使用administrator罢了。正常来讲,使用非administrator帐号对日常操作完全没有任何困扰,如果非要使 用administrator的用户,建议改名并且设置一个密码,这才是一个好的使用习惯。 点击此处查看Windows7 UAC使用知识大全。
3、操作不如xp便利:这是一个适应性的问题。笔者最初用Vista的时候也有种摸不到北的感觉,但是适应了以后,觉得很多改动还是很贴心、很便利的,特别是Win7在细节处的改动更贴近用户的操作习惯。
4、软件、游戏的兼容性:除了那些老掉牙不更新的软件,现在软件基本都有对应win7的版本,起码常用软件完全没啥问题。至于那些大型商业软件,更应该 能跟上潮流。唯独国内某些软件,可能会出现一些问题,其实这个也不能埋怨操作系统,软件不思进取是最大的原因,实在离不开就跑个虚拟机吧,基本能解决。随 着时间的推移,兼容性问题早晚会不存在。win7已经好多了,经过Vista的铺垫,不兼容的现象早已最少了。毫不夸张地说,xp刚上市的时候,不兼容的 现象比Win7要多了数倍,这丝毫没有影响xp成为了一代主流系统好多年。
5、优化:看到很多关于优化的帖子,关掉这 个、那个。我个人觉得为了节约那么一点空间而把win7打造成一个类xp是没啥意义的行为。这样各位还不如继续使用xp呢,你说是不?win7默认装完就 挺好了,没有太多优化的价值,已经挺优了。当然,如果你的电脑配置不是太高,硬盘不是太大,就需要去做下瘦身和精简,但是必须是在你明白意义的情况下。像 Win7优化大师这样的软件,我基本不用来做优化,而是用来做其他方面的设置和美化。
6、关闭update:为了防止被微软ban 而关闭update,这也是个误区。update是治病的根本,也是系统安全的根本,再如何装杀毒软件也顶不上从本身弥补缺陷更实在。第三方的打补丁程序 也远远不如windows本身更了解windows。update没什么可怕的,开吧,真的。笔者从xp到win7一路走来都是开着update的,并未 造成什么血案。如果对update实在有阴影的用户,可以把update设置成有更新提示,但不自动安装,这样你可以查阅哪些更新你不需要安装,以便杜绝 误装了某些可能会ban掉盗版的patch。关闭update是非常不推荐的。
7、Win7温度高:这个的确,毕竟系统的界面更华 丽了。特别是笔记本用户,因为很多笔记本是集成显卡,也就是说需要CPU来充当GPU。在此类笔记本使用win7时,CPU运算量因为高于使用xp,所以 温度有提升是很正常的。相信独显的本本在温度方面会控制得更好一点。
8、死机、重启多了,上网慢了,看视频花了:说实话,这些都是软件、驱动问 题造成的,和系统本身无关。死机、重启、上网变慢笔者倒没碰到过。视频不清晰、有锯齿感或者太卡这个是存在的,不过并非不能解决。视频不清晰有锯齿跟显卡 驱动和渲染方式有关。在使用播放器默认的渲染方式下,新版显卡驱动会造成这一现象,而老版则没问题。(nvidia显卡以182.xx驱动为分界 线,182.xx以上存在这些问题,以下则不存在。)如果更换了驱动还不能解决就尝试更换播放器的渲染方式,通常都可以解决。总的来说,因为系统的变更, 旧的渲染方式和系统本身会引起一些冲突,所以造成了这些问题,相信随着时间的推移,播放软件的完善,这些问题都会解决的。在线播放有锯齿的问题,有人说关 闭aero效果就行了,因为笔者没有遇到过,所以姑且这么一提。
另外播放视频卡的问题,特别是一些720P/1080P的MKV。 这是因为win7内置了解码器,你会发现新装的系统即便不安装任何解码,大部分视频都能播放,这就是win7内置的编、解码器的功劳。但是这些编、解码器 兼容性肯定不如那些对应的编、解码器效果好,所以播放时打些折扣也是再正常不过的了。而默认情况下,系统内置解码器的优先级别又是最高,再加上现在的编、 解码软件还未完全吃透win7,所以无法驾驭也很正常。可以自行删除内置的解码器,或者等待编、解码软件进一步更新后能争夺优先权的时候 (wincodecs似乎比较有针对性)。system32(32位系统)和syswow64(64位系统)目录内的msmpeg2adec.dll和 msmpeg2vdec.dll两个文件是解码的元凶,获取权限后改名或者删除即可。不过win7的系统评分检测需要用到他们,建议改名就行了。

<师说> 韩愈
古之学者必有师。师者,所以传道、受业、解惑也。人非生而知之者,孰能无惑?惑而不从师,其为惑也终不解矣。
生乎吾前,其闻道也固先乎吾,吾从而师之;生乎吾后,其闻道也亦先乎吾,吾从而师之。吾师道也,夫庸知其年之先后生於吾乎?是故无贵无贱,无长无少,道之所存,师之所存也。
嗟乎!师道之不传也久矣!欲人之无惑也难矣!古之圣人,其出人也远矣,犹且从师而问焉;今之众人,其下圣人也亦远矣,而耻学於师;是故圣益圣,愚益愚,圣人之所以为圣,愚人之所以为愚,其皆出於此乎?
爱其子,择师而教之,於其身也则耻师焉,惑矣!彼童子之师,授之书而习其句读者也,非吾所谓传其道,解其惑者也。句读之不知,惑之不解,或师焉,或不焉,小学而大遗,吾未见其明也。
巫医乐师百工之人,不耻相师;士大夫之族,曰师曰弟子云者,则群聚而笑之,问之,则曰:“彼与彼年相若也,道相似也。位卑则足羞,官盛则近谀。”呜呼!师道之不复可知矣。巫医乐师百工之人,君子不齿,今其智乃反不能及,其可怪也欤!
圣人无常师,孔子师郯子、苌弘、师襄、老聃。郯子之徒,其贤不及孔子。孔子曰:“叁人行,则必有我师。”是故弟子不必不如师,师不必贤於弟子,<闻道有先后,术业有专攻>,如是而已。
李氏子蟠,年十七,好古文,六艺经传皆通习之;不拘於时,学於余,余嘉其能行古道,作师说以贻之。

[How-To] Run Snow Leopard in VMware Workstation *****
- Don’t want a Mac
- Can’t afford a Mac
- Don’t know how to hackintosh
- (All of the above)
What we’re doing here, is pretty much making a hackintosh inside of a virtual machine (in this case, VMware Workstation 7 for Windows XP/Vista/7).
You could always make a hackintosh, but your system may not be *fully* compatible. Doing this in a virtual machine instead of natively ON your machine is a safe and simple process for anyone.
Pros
- Run the latest version of Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard (including 10.6.2) on ANY PC.
- Quite speedy.
- Simple and safe alternative to hackintoshing.
- Only one: No hardware video acceleration (QE/CI). Without QuartzExtreme and CoreImage, graphics will be laggy, and a lot of programs (such as iMovie ’09) will not run. Why? Because there are no display drivers. But don’t let this ruin everything, as you can still run other things, like iTunes, Tweetie, Adium, etc.
*Being worked on at the moment.
Requirements
- VMware Workstation 7 – Pretty pricey, but you can get a trial of it. YOU MAY ALSO TRY VMWARE PLAYER, WHICH IS FREE.
- Retail Mac OS X Snow Leopard DVD – Only $30; go get it.
- Intel CPU (with VT-x support) – Check your BIOS to see if your CPU supports this (you’ll see an option for VT-x or ‘Virtualization Technology’). Most modern Intel CPUs have VT-x (ie. Core 2 Duo).
- This file – About 13MB, which has everything you need (besides a copy of Snow Leopard).
- About 45-60 minutes of time.
- Some common sense, and the ability to follow [simple] directions.
Part 1 – Setting up the VM
*Make sure you have the file (from step 4 above) extracted – Just take the ‘Snowy_VM’ folder and stick it on your desktop.
*Make sure VMware Workstation 7 is installed and working.
- Open VMware, and load the .vmx file that you extracted (in /Snowy_VM/Mac OS X Server 10.6 (experimental).vmwarevm/).
- Edit the settings for Processors and Memory to suit your needs. Mine was 2 CPU cores, and 2.5GB RAM.
- With the ‘Virtual Machine Settings’ window still open, go to CD/DVD (IDE), and click on the bubble for Use ISO image file, and find the ‘darwin_snow.iso’ file (in /Snowy_VM/). Click on OK when finished.
*Now comes the fun stuff!
*Insert your Mac OS X Snow Leopard DVD at this time.
- Start the virtual machine.
- Hit F8 after seeing the VMware boot screen.
- In the bottom of the virtual machine window, right-click on the CD/DVD drive icon, and choose ‘Settings’.
- Choose Use physical drive, and make sure the proper drive is selected.Also make sure that the Connected & Connect at power on checkboxes are checked. Click on OK when done.
- Press c on your keyboard (to boot from the DVD).
- (Optional) – Press F8 on your keyboard, and type -v and press enter. This bypasses the Apple boot screen, and boots into verbose mode.
- Once you’re at the installer, follow the prompts to install it. Reboot when finished. If you get a kernel panic upon rebooting, open up the “Mac OS X Server 10.6 (experimental).VMX” file in /Snowy_VM/Mac OS X Server 10.6 (experimental).vmwarevm with Notepad, search for “smc.present”, and change “TRUE” to “FALSE”. Save and close out of Notepad. You shouldn’t get anymore kernel panics.
*Assuming installation went well… (Which it should)
- Start the virtual machine up again. It can take anywhere from 30 seconds to 3 minutes to boot, depending on your virtual machine settings.
- If you get a “Operating system not found” error, go back to part 2 and follow steps 3, 4, and 5. BUT, on step 5, instead of pressing c, press h. This boots from the hard disk instead of from the DVD.
- Once booted, you should be at the setup screens.
- Fill out the registration details and whatnot. When you’re finally at your desktop, go to step 3.
- You’re booted!
*This is assuming your DVD of Snow Leopard is 10.6.
- Inside of Mac OS X, open up Safari, and go to this link (the 10.6.2 Combo Update): http://bit.ly/4zMBJJ
- Download the .dmg to your desktop.
- When done downloading, open the installation package, and install 10.6.2.
- Reboot when completed.
*This will get audio working.
*You’ll need to put “EnsoniqAudioPCI.mpkg.tar.gz” onto your Mac OS X desktop. You can put the files on a USB drive, and mount the drive in the virtual machine. Once mounted, copy that file to your desktop.
- Double-click on “EnsoniqAudioPCI.mpkg.tar.gz”. Out should come a installation package.
- Double-click on the installation package.
- When you get to where you have to ‘customize’ the installation, check all 2 options.
- Install.
- Reboot when finished.
*This helps in overall performance of the VM.
- In the bottom of the virtual machine window, right-click on the CD/DVD drive icon, and choose ‘Settings’.
- Click on the bubble for Use ISO image file, and find the ‘darwin_snow.iso‘ file (in /Snowy_VM/). Click on OK when finished.
- You should see a new drive on your desktop called ‘VMware Tools’. Double-click on this.
- Run the installation package.
- Reboot when finished.

Installing Mac OS X 10.4.8 ON VMware Workstation 6.5
Environment Specifications:
1. VMware workstation 6.5.1 running on Windows XP SP2
2. JaS Mac OS X 10.4.8 AMD Intel SSe2 SSe3 Beta v2 w/Semthex’s 8.8.1 Kernel
3. Intel Core 2 Duo processor 2 GHz with 2 GB RAM
This article is focused on installing it on VMware workstation. Here on this article I would be posting step by step screenshots of the installation process on VMware workstation 6.5.1. The Mac OS X image used here is “JaS Mac OS X 10.4.8 AMD Intel SSe2 SSe3 Beta v2 w/Semthex’s 8.8.1 Kernel”.
Creating the Virtual Machine:
The VM is created using FreeBSD as the template. Hard Drive should be in IDE Mode which is another requirement. This happens by default if FreeBSD is selected though. Make sure you allocate a good amount of memory (512 recommended).
Screenshots step by step









Once the VM is started it will boot to the Mac OS X image.
Screenshots step by step































Voila !!! Click on Restart and the VM will now boot into Mac OS X.
