Windows 7 vs. Windows XP

Windows 7 is by far one of the best operating systems i have ever used. It even loads faster than XP and thats saying something!

 

I think Microsoft's job No.1 is to make money regardless of what they say And if they have partners among hardware developers their OS will require a new hardware.

 

I think overall windows 7 better than Windows XP

 

I really like the interaction in win 7, the usability is much better

 

Purchased Windows 7 Ultimate yesterday, it's great. Definitely a step up from XP in my opinion.

 

go for windows 7 since xp can't be bought officially anymore.

and xp will discontinue their support on 2014 completely and i am guessing no more major bug fixes will be released for xp any more as well.

 

No Doubts! XP is far better because i got free from with purchase of new system! but Windows 7 so will like to think about it to change

 

still love winXP for gaming

 

1. $29 to university students, Free to House Party hosts
2. 1 GB ram and considering Win 7 has XP emulator built in
3. Fast twice as quick loading up
4. No problems yet.

 

Any one had luck with installing the bluetooth drivers on installs on laptops ?

 

I really think they will make money with windows 7. So many people i know love it.

 

win 7 wins hands down

 

Windows 7 is the best OS I have ever used, by far. It works on older hardware a lot better than you would expect. I was a huge linux fan and did not like Microsoft a whole lot, but MS has done an amazing job with Win7.

 

Indeed. Windows 7 is a VERY GOOD operating system.

 

I heard that you can even change to XP mode. I am still trying to figure that one out.. Its not working for me yet..

 

I think I'll wait until it has been out for a while. MS always seems to have something up with the os in the beginning. It would almost be a better route to just buy a new machine with win7 rather than messing with the price of an upgrade and the time and hassle. I'll wait for more time to pass and more reviews, then probably just buy a new pc probably in the first 1/2 of 2010.

 

This is true, I think you need Virtualization turned on in your BIOS and you have to install the XP Mode, the base files are included, but you have to install it if you want to use it.

I like Virtual PC.

 

Windows 7 > Windows XP in these categories: GUI, Performance, Stability

 

Win 7 rocks!

 

Iv had windows 7 for around 3 - 4 months now iv done many testing and playing around with it. The major advantage of windows 7 is the boot up and hibernation/sleep/shutdown timing has been reduced so much that it only takes around a minutes to boot up from the moment you power up.

Another good thing about it is that all the problems you had in vista have now been resolved in windows 7 and made more user friendly interface's around the system, such as navigation and accessiblity weather it is using the search feature or just browsing your documents.
