Intel and Microsoft have worked closely for many years. They even set up a special phrase “Wintel”, which designates the PC working together with Intel and software Microsoft.

But inaction against Intel Vista, most likely, would put Microsoft Corporation in some embarrassment. Source close to Intel told the newspaper New York Times that the company “did not find convincing evidence for the adoption of Vista”.

Vista is strengthened by the business sector

According to some observers, the Windows Vista operating system slowly beginning to turn its attention IT managers of large business companies. Microsoft acknowledges that Vista uses about 5% of all large business companies (and even that information can be very optimistic, according to some analysts), but a combination of hardware readiness, recent additions to Vista and software compatibility – all this makes the latest client OS from Microsoft is appealing to the public.

Now OS has become much better.

Microsoft: Vista user accounts are in need of refinement

Scott Czerny (Scott Charney), the head of one of the units of Microsoft, said this week that the custom control accounts (UAC) in the Windows Vista operating system is not intuitive to users. In his video interview, together with ZDNet.com.au at AusCERT 2008 conference, held this week, Czerny said that Microsoft must improve UAC.

“It is clear that much work must be done to improve the UAC, especially at the point where users get a lot of queries that they may not expect, and this is not a good example intuitively. If you give people a lot of queries in too many situations They simply will not be able to make a scheduled job, because all begin to click on a row – said Scott Czerny. He also said that messages that are displayed at the request of users, is also confusing them with somebody.

“We gave them dialogues and requests that do not help users make the right decisions as often as we would like. You can wandering on the internet, and suddenly see a warning that this site is no longer under the control of another site, or you may be transmit data to another site. What users should do with the information provided to them? “
