微软公布了其新版本系统的承诺计划,在计划中声明了微软对用户和其它应用软件在这个平台上的态度,这也意味着Vista的开发接近尾声,正式发布日期的临近.此次承诺计划的亮点在于微软给出了 "Twelve Tenets to Promote Competition",12条未曾明确的内容,我们选出其中4条最有价值的内容:
- Computer makers are free to add any software to PCs that run Windows, and promote non-Windows operating systems, and applications.
-计算机制造商可以自由添加在Windows PC中运行的软件,包括非Windows OS和应用程序.
- Computer makers and users can easily change default applications like Web browsers and media players to non-Microsoft choices. Likewise, computer makers can remove access to default Microsoft choices all together if they wish.
- 计算机制造商和用户可以自由更改系统中默认的应用程序,例如浏览器和MediaPlayer,同时,计算机制造商也可以按他们的需求去除默认的应用程序设置.
- Microsoft will not retaliate against computer makers that support non-Microsoft software. To ensure this is the case, Microsoft will price Windows according to a volume-based price list that will be made available to PC makers.
- 微软承诺不对计算机制造商支持非微软软件的行为作出报复性行动,为了确保这种情形,微软将向厂商提供Windows批量产品价格列表.
下面是最重要的一条:
- Windows Live and other Microsoft Internet services will be made available separately from Windows.
- Windows Live 和其余 Microsoft Internet 服务并不属于Windows的一部分.
就在微软允许Google 引擎加入Windows Vista默认搜索之后不久,微软发布了这一计划,以完全公开发表见解的方式,应对来自各方面的指责.详细的12条,我们可以看微软官方站点:
