what is the disadvantage in windows 7?

what is the disadvantage in windows 7? because all are saying that windows xp is better than windows 7 what is the reason?

 

I think its just trying to get used to it. I know a lot of the classic view setting are gone and you just have to get used to the new format. Seems pretty secure and faster than Vista.

 

It uses more RAM and if you are on 1 GB then it will eat up your full RAM and then your system becomes tooo slow.

Advice: Stay away!!

 

I'm still using Windows XP. But I admit that Vista's graphics looks great.
How about Windows 7? What are the major differences between the 3?

windows 7 utilizing more RAM memory remaining features or ok for me

 

I also wan to get the answer.

 

One of the biggest is its compatibility for software. I have found that many software are not working well with Win 7...Better to stay with XP untill all the software are compatible with Win 7

 

I'm using W7 for a month now and I haven't had any problems.
I have 2 GB's of ram and it works smooth as it can be. No problems with windowed gaming and photoshop minimized at the same time.
As for the compatibility issues with software, only think that didn't work on w7 64 bit was some old CPU downgrading process. I'm guessing that it requested some unique dll for 32 bit OS or something. Even when I found the dll it would work.
Besides that, everything works great.

 

I'm very happy with windows 7 ultimate for now. It's fast and stable so far but I have only use it for 2 months.

 

You need to put some faith in the new versions of Microsoft Windows instead of hugging to the close to 10yrs Windows XP.
In all ways, Microsoft will definitely make Windows 7 works better than Windows XP because this is their latest OS they are marketing.
It is a good product to cover off their Vista which has lots of flaws.

Windows 7 uses much memory compared to XP but please, memories are cheap now.
If you are still running <1GB of RAM, please upgrade.
2GB of RAM is sufficient to run Windows 7 efficiently.

Some facts about these Windows.
Windows are all about utilizing your hardware, yes Win7 does use more RAM but this is because RAM are easily attained to 3-6GB nowadays.
WinXP is an old OS that does not run many hidden applications Win7 does, these applications and interfaces is meant to utilize the Hardware better and provide more optimized performance on the OS itself.
Using an up-to-date computer with good hardwares are not releasing their full capabilities using WinXP.
A simple logic which you should easily find out is WinXP being an old OS does not utilize multi-core processors much.
Vista does utilize multi-core processors more than XP but Vista does not seems to optimize memory that well.
Win7 which is a much better product compare to Vista runs much better utilizing the most recent hardware you see around.

For the current hardware market with such high end computers, if you are using a Quad Core processors with >4GB ram, which is easily attained, Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit is the best choice.

 

From my understanding (and trials) W7 doesn't run well with systems under 1gb ram, best push towards 2gb, and XP->W7 doesn't have a perfect flow.

 

Biggest disadvantage i found in Windows 7 is loss of appropriate drivers of your hard ware devices

 

I think the main reason people have been recommending XP over 7 is that XP has had many years to be refined for ease-of-use and is very secure, not to mention the resources required to run it are far less than 7 and can pretty much be run universally on almost any machine. Windows 7 has much higher hardware requirements (especially the 64-bit version), so only more modern systems can run it comfortably. However, keep in mind that WinXP is in extended support and is far outdated compared to 7, XP will not be updated to support new hardware interfaces and software capabilities in the following years as far as I know.

Bottom line: Win7 is superior in every area when compared against XP, it just has higher hardware requirements to run it.

 

I just am getting used to vista, why did MS need to bring in another OS

 

Vista is kinda bad. Windows 7 somehow is meant to replace their "not very good" product Vista.

If you have a relatively new and up-to-date computer with decent RAM and Processor - Windows 7

If you are still using your more than 3 yrs old computer with <2GB RAM - continue hugging your XP and probably end up changing in 1-2 yrs.

 

I dont feel that windows 7 is user friendly, more over it occupies more memory.

 

It's common to see many people hugging onto Windows XP.
After all it went through many years and get to such a stable state.

But move on, Windows 7 is made to keep things up-to-date.
Hardware are improving so fast, software are barely catching up.
Core i9 processors are coming soon, and software/applications are barely using dual/quad cores.

Think back when people are hugging onto Windows 98 and dare not change to Windows XP.
It's a similar situation and the complain was also XP is taking up too much resources.
Back then memory was expensive and only 256/512 MB RAM.
Now memories are flying cheap at 2GB 4GB 8GB.
A decent 2-4GB of RAM with a duo/quad core processor would run Windows 7 without any problem.

Please don't complain about occupying more memory if you haven't try it yet.
Because people who have been saying Windows 7 occupies more memory are people who dare not try it or did not have the chance to try it or their computer are just too slow for Windows 7. Same goes to those who mention hardware driver supports were bad. It's either you don't know how to use it or I shouldn't be too offensive. From my personal experience, my Windows 7 Ultimate settled all the hardware drivers by itself once I get the internet connection setup, except graphic card which you need specific ATI/NVIDIA drivers. As compared to XP you need to manually find every single drivers yourself. And with 4GB RAM, Core 2 Duo, I did not feel any sense of slowness in my Windows 7.

 

Not tried windows 7 yet but I noticed that I loads the software slowly as I saw this on my brother-in-laws laptop.
