目前windows平台上这种软件安装方式是行不通的,太不合理,和20年前安装软件还一样,这样不行的
我上午清洗了cpu风扇,然后想安装一个core temp来测cpu温度,就这么小心安装,也让人装了没用的软件,windows app store也是要失败的

What is wrong with Windows Software and why Windows 8 doesn’t solve a thing – Part 1: Finding, Downloading & Installing
Posted on September 22, 2011
In this post I talk mainly about existing Windows applications and not the new Metro applications which will be introduced in Windows 8. Metro apps are a new type of application which are mainly for touch devices and are not meant to replace Desktop apps.
If you are somewhat experienced in using a mouse and keyboard then chances are that you have helped other people to install software on Windows before. Downloading applications, installing them and making sure that you don’t get any viruses, malware or browser toolbars in the process seems to be quite a challenge for a lot of Windows users and I am not at all surprised about this.
I think, as developers, we are so used to these familiar actions that we forget how difficult and daunting they are for the average user.
Finding Software
The first challenge is finding software. I am a naturally curious person and as such I have tried thousands of applications over the years, hence, when someone needs advise for a CD recoding software or a photo library application I point them to CD Burner XP and Google Picasa as in my experience they are the most usable and useful. Without personal recommendations from someone you trust or the experience of having tried a number of these applications, users normally just Google what they are looking for and are confronted with a huge number of different websites and applications. Some of them are great. Some of them are not so great and some of them are harmful. Scams, viruses and malware is often unfortunately just a few clicks away.
Downloading Software
Even when users settle on an application to try out it is often difficult to navigate the thousand different websites to download the application. A lot of websites also have advertisements that look like they are the download links to trick people to click on them.
A great example of this unfortunate practice is the website of the quite popular and useful Paint.NET application. |
