新更新让Win7外接磁盘功能更精彩

Win7之家（ www.win7china.com）：新更新让Win7外接磁盘功能更精彩

 微软最近给Windows 7 Pre-beta的测试者们提供了一个有关NTFS外接磁盘的更新，该更新目前已经出现在Windows Update上，目的是为了消除用户在体验Windows 7外接磁盘功能时的障碍。

当然，微软并没有具体说明该更新是用来解决什么问题的，不过可以肯定的是，当用户使用Windows 7的外接磁盘功能时，该更新将会给用户带来良好的体验。

“该更新用以提高外接NTFS外接磁盘可靠性。安装后您可能需要重新启动您的计算机。该更新将在微软最终用户协议保护下提供给您。”

KB958456并非唯一的一个专为Windows 7提供的更新。即使Vista的继任者，Windows 7还处于Pre-beta开发阶段，即使微软还将其定义为M3，微软的天平已经开始倾向于WIndows 7。早在11月初，MS08-067补丁就涉及了Windows 7.

早在PDC 2008和WINHEC会议时，与会者就得到了Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit和64bit2个版本，随后，Windows 7pre-beta Build 6801的BT种子就出现在网络上了。

原文如下：

Microsoft is offering support to testers of Windows 7 when it comes down to issues associated with the integration of NTFS external drives with the operating system.

In this context, a refresh is now available on Windows Update (WU), designed to smooth out the experience of using a NTFS external drive coupled with Microsoft's next iteration of the Windows client. The Redmond company failed to reveal the specific problems that the update was designed to resolve, but it did indicate that, following implementation, the refresh would deliver a superior experience when it came down to using external NTFS drive in Windows 7 Pre-Beta.

“An update to improve the reliability and operation of an external NTFS drive. After you install this update, you may have to restart your computer. This update is provided and licensed to you under the Windows 7 Pre-Release License Terms,” Microsoft informed.

KB958456 is not the only update Microsoft has delivered for Windows 7. Even if Windows Vista's successor is in the pre-Beta development stage, what the software giant is referring to as Milestone 3, Microsoft is tending to its product. At the start of this month, for example, Microsoft released the first security update for Windows 7. Security bulletin MS08-067 is designed to patch a Critical vulnerability in Server Service also impacting Windows 7, in addition to Windows Vista SP1 and Windows XP SP3.

Windows 7 pre-Beta was made available to participants at the Professional Developers Conference 2008 and the Windows Hardware Engineering Conference 2008 in Los Angeles. This year's PDC and WinHEC attendees received both the 32-bit and the 64-bit editions of Windows 7 Ultimate. However, as soon as the operating system was made available out of Redmond and the company's limited pool of close partners, the pre-Beta Build 6801 bits were leaked and made available for download via torrent websites.
