要回答這個(gè)問(wèn)題,那么就要先提到對HTPC/下載機 系統的幾點(diǎn)要求:
1. 兼容性好,這個(gè)是廢話(huà)。對清晰字體支持完善,輸出到電視不會(huì )發(fā)虛
2. 硬件要求低,不要動(dòng)不動(dòng)要用個(gè)i3 i5 i7才能跑
3. 硬盤(pán)占用空間小,大家肯定不希望把下載機/HTPC上的寶貴空間用于系統本身吧
4. 支持各種軟件,比如常用的pplive之流
5. 穩定省點(diǎn),作為下載機 兼顧HTPC,比如需要7*24小時(shí)開(kāi)機
6. 管理方便,換句話(huà)說(shuō),就是必須支持遠程桌面,不需要打開(kāi)電視去管理下載啥的。
那么,我們的選擇有什么?首先各種2b Linux先排除掉。那么只有windows 了
XP? 這個(gè)已經(jīng)過(guò)時(shí)了,XP對字體,對HDMI的支持,就是一種硬傷,更何況目前已經(jīng)out of support了
Win7? 那么必然就是Win7 Pro了,在下載機/HTPC上用U版,那是刺果果的2B行為。用家庭版?高級家庭版?沒(méi)有遠程桌面,你真的想用么?
但是Win7 Pro 的一個(gè)最大問(wèn)題是,安裝之后,有14-17G。。。哪怕我把所有不用的組件都刪掉,依然占用很大空間。對于我的小硬盤(pán)來(lái)說(shuō),C盤(pán)一共才有30G,再安上各種軟件。。。Oh。。痛苦
那么,我們還有沒(méi)有更好的選擇?
當然,那就是今天的主角 —— Windows Thin PC
首先當然是官方的介紹,我實(shí)在是懶得翻譯。。。想必絕大多數人應該看的懂
Windows Thin PC
Windows Thin PC enables customers to repurpose existing PCs as thin clients by providing a smaller footprint, locked down version of Windows 7. This provides organizations with significant benefits:
Reduced End Point costs for VDI: Windows Thin PC empowers enterprises to leverage their end point hardware investments to access virtual desktops that are delivered using VDI or sessions. Windows Thin PC is available as a benefit of SA, and hence does not represent any additional cost for SA customers. Windows Thin PC also provides IT with the flexibility to revert back to PCs if necessary, in case the thin client computing model does not provide the benefits they were after.
Excellent Thin Client experience: Windows Thin PC offers many of the benefits of a thin client. Organizations can improve security and compliance on their repurposed PCs, by using write filters to prevent data from being written to disk. Additionally, Windows Thin PC ensures a rich remote desktop experience through RemoteFX, enabling delivery of high fidelity multimedia content from centralized desktops.
Enterprise Ready platform: Windows Thin PC is built on the proven Windows 7 platform. Organizations can leverage existing management strategy and tools such as System Center to centrally manage Windows Thin PC, including accelerated role based deployment of applications, security patches, updates, and data. Enterprise features such as BitLocker and AppLocker further help IT secure their devices, while DirectAccess helps customers securely access their corporate data on repurposed laptops.
Microsoft recommends that customers who are currently evaluating thin client computing begin their journey by first repurposing existing PCs as thin clients with Windows Thin PC and evaluate the benefits they would get with this architecture. Once Windows Thin PC device hardware get decommissioned, customers can then purchase new Windows Embedded Thin Clients from our OEM partners without having to make changes to their existing management and security policies.
真的看不懂?那百度的吧。。

在Windows 7 SP1發(fā)布之后,微軟宣布了一款新的Windows7版本W(wǎng)indows Thin PC(WinTPC),主要面向虛擬桌面基礎架構(VDI)消費者,其前身是WinFLP,它基于WindowsEmbedded Standard 7系統開(kāi)發(fā),是一個(gè)超輕量級系統,可以工作在低配置的系統下,降低運行成本。2011年三月底,微軟公開(kāi)提供了Windows Thin PC的社區預覽版(CTP),所有用戶(hù)均可下載體驗。2011年5月,微軟Connet網(wǎng)站出現了WinTPC的RC版本,并向12000個(gè)報名用戶(hù)測試發(fā)放。2011年6月,Windows Thin PC完成RTM階段,2011年7月1日起擁有軟件保障(Software Assurance)的批量授權(volume licensees)用戶(hù)可免費下載,不需要VDA授權也能使用。

編輯本段特點(diǎn)
WinTPC的核心是Windows 7,相當于是Windows 7的瘦身版,企業(yè)可以使用現有管理工具如系統中心集中管理所有安裝WinTPC設備,包括依功能部署軟件,更新程序,WinTPC也可以使用如的BitLocker和AppLocker的等安全控管機制。
總結:
Windows Thin PC是微軟官方出品的精簡(jiǎn) Win7
那么對我們來(lái)說(shuō),Windows Thin PC有多大?精簡(jiǎn)了哪些內容?硬件要求有多低?
簡(jiǎn)單上圖, 我把Thin PC 安裝到了家里幾年前的HTPC兼下載機上。
老舊的ION平臺,atom 330, 2G內存
安裝之后占用的硬盤(pán)空間,你沒(méi)有看錯,真的只占用了3G空間
那么,CPU 內存占用情況呢
35個(gè)進(jìn)程,430M內存,這個(gè),難道是當年的XP附體?
功能上有沒(méi)有什么缺失呢?
開(kāi)始菜單中的所有程序
其中沒(méi)有圖片瀏覽器,但是居然有powershell...media player, IE均健在
當然,遠程桌面還有的,毫無(wú)用處的系統還原沒(méi)有了!
有沒(méi)有中文?
當然,官方語(yǔ)言包,下載地址
