Vista之家（www.vista123.com）：Intel已經(jīng)開(kāi)始提供Windows 7專用驅(qū)動(dòng)

 Intel已經(jīng)為其旗下的一些芯片準(zhǔn)備了Windows 7的前瞻性驅(qū)動(dòng)。這對(duì)于避免遇到像Vista一樣的兼容性問(wèn)題來(lái)說(shuō)是一次不錯(cuò)的嘗試。雖然下一代Windows還在Beta階段，Intel依然宣布：

Intel開(kāi)發(fā)的前瞻性WDDM1.1顯示芯片驅(qū)動(dòng)已經(jīng)可以下載，包含了全功能Windows 7體驗(yàn)。該驅(qū)動(dòng)是微軟與OEM廠商合作的結(jié)果。通過(guò)該驅(qū)動(dòng)，OEM廠商和用戶可以輕松進(jìn)行針對(duì)Windows 7的產(chǎn)品開(kāi)發(fā)。

在計(jì)算機(jī)中，驅(qū)動(dòng)是連接軟件和硬件的橋梁。WDDM全稱為Windows Display Driver Model,即Windows顯卡驅(qū)動(dòng)模型，這項(xiàng)技術(shù)是從Vista時(shí)代開(kāi)始使用的，當(dāng)然，也會(huì)在Windows 7中繼續(xù)下去。

簡(jiǎn)單說(shuō)來(lái)，Intel正在認(rèn)真努力地使得其芯片可以很好地在Windows 7下工作。如果在兼容性上存在任何問(wèn)題，這就必須在正式版發(fā)布前解決，而這需要大量的時(shí)間。

該公告也證明了此前微軟宣稱將會(huì)與硬件廠商展開(kāi)合作以確保兼容性的決心。此前，許多廠商都曾抱怨他們沒(méi)有得到足夠有關(guān)Vista驅(qū)動(dòng)需求的信息，導(dǎo)致了大量兼容性問(wèn)題。

但是，Intel是硬件領(lǐng)域舉足輕重的廠商，微軟不得不對(duì)其分外重視，但愿對(duì)于那些小廠商，微軟也能如此上心。

附部分原文：

Intel has a series of ‘pre-production’ drivers for its graphics chipsets in Windows 7. It’s a clear attempt to avoid the incompatibility problems which plagues Vista.

Though the next edition of Windows isn’t even at beta stage yet, Intel has announced:

    Intel is making available for testing its preproduction WDDM1.1 graphics driver, enabling the full Windows 7 experience. The driver is the result of an ongoing collaboration with Microsoft to provide OEMs and developers with drivers that deliver all of the required WDDM1.1 features for Windows 7. As a result of the collaboration, OEMs and beta users can stay in step with Windows 7 prereleases for smooth product development.

To explain the jargon, drivers are the link between hardware and Windows, while WDDM is Windows Display Driver Model, the overall system for graphics drivers which was introduced in Vista and continued in Windows 7.

OEMs are Original Equipment Manufacturers: in other words, firms which make computer parts (or entire machines) which are then usually sold on by other manufacturers.

In short, the announcement means Intel is taking serious steps to make sure its chips work properly in Windows 7. If there are any problems, it wants plenty of time to sort them out before the official release.
