what is the disadvantage in windows 7?

Under 1 gb of ram? Wow, time to update hardware.... Or if you're using a 10 year old PC, you should use the 10 year old software to go with it. Maybe w7 is made to run on computers built within the last 5 years...

Fact is w7 utilizes memory way better than XP. Just cause it uses more at once doesn't mean it's using it inefficiently.

 

The disadvantage about it is that its not free.

 

I love Windows 7. If you've been using Vista and don't want to upgrade then you're out of your mind. It is infinitely better than Vista. Windows 7 is what Vista should have been.

Those of you with XP need to upgrade. Yes, Windows 7 uses more system resources. It's a modern operating system. Windows 3.1 uses less system resources than XP yet you use XP. Same difference. Windows 7 is superior. Even my Mac has been collecting dust since I switched up to Windows 7.

 

Better than Vista, but not as good as windows xp

 

well windows 7 is just superb
under 1 gb ram also its damn fast for me
my oldest lappy got 1 gb ram and 40 gb hdd

in that win7 is damn faster then xp
and vista lol its damn slow in that same lappy

I prefer Windows 7

i even left Mac Book coz Windows 7 is very good and better for me now

 

I would go with: show desktop button is in opposite side.

Everything else is epic.

 

It could be argued the disadvantage is that its a Microsoft product

But we are stuck with it and its the best windows yet.

 

Biggest disadvantages? Well, it's built upon the same kernel as Vista, only slightly polished...

 

one reason for me. and still expensive price on my country

 

Well, I don't think there is any disadvantage in Windows 7.
All features are better than earlier OS's.

Taking too much time from loading. but it is quite nice from xp. I likes it calculator functionality.

 

I never use Vista because I've heard so many negative things about the software but in Windows 7 I'm hearing lots of good feedback.

 

Well, windows 7 often require us to restart explorer.exe if you open many applications and right click to refresh desktop. It may be a disadvantage.

 

I think the problem varies and the disadvantage is based on every individual's situation. If you have an old computer with Win XP, and you upgrade it to Win 7; your computer will most likely have hardware comp-ability problems and you might blast Win 7 for your frustration with installing drivers.

But sense everything went well with me, I say the disadvantage is getting used to it and start fresh.

 

I believe that's your own problem, either hardware or you have some malware infected. It's nothing to do with Windows 7.
My Windows 7 runs 24/7 without even rebooting. I don't feel any slow or 'laggyness' at all.

 

uh.. it takes just over 5 seconds to boot up for me.. and I dont know why people say its a memory hog... I always have the following running at all time: photoshop, notepad++, 5+ tabs in chrome and then usually 2-3 additional programs and I have never had 2gb+ memory being used. (have 4gb ddr3)

 

I dont think it is actually a disadvantage in case of Windows 7, Windows 7 can be used to work in "XP mode" also. As such, there is no point in using XP anymore.

 

Same.
Photoshop + Chrome and IE with >3 tabs each + MSN with Video Conference + AVG + 2D Game.. still hardly hit 2GB+ memory in task manager and still smooth.
4GB DDR2

Going to get my new computer soon and going for Windows 7 Professional 64bit.

 

You should reconsider your feelings, Win 7 has so many new features that makes it the most user friendly OS built by MS.
Did you even get a chance to use Win 7?

 

People are usually saying that windows XP is better than 7 because they are either too ignorant or they have an old PC. For older PCs yes, windows XP is recommended but I don't see any excuse not to upgrade if you have new hardware.
