Are You Thinking about Upgrade to Windows 7?

Well, hello again, it’s been over two months sense my last post. It’s not enough hours in a day to get everything done; I will try to do better. If you're on the still on the fence about installing Window 7 or not I hope this post will help.
I do not believe you should upgrade to a new operating system just because upgrade hit’s the market. Although Vista was actually a great operating system, many people trashed it for no apparent reason, other than wanting to jump on the Vista-Hate bandwagon.
With the release of Windows 7 on October 22 2009, Microsoft aims to make it the most formidable operating system ever. Windows Vista which released in 2006 was good but was a nightmare in terms of performance. What worked to Windows Vista’s disadvantage was that it needed significant hardware upgrade for Windows XP users who have been used to the same hardware for many years; for instance, RAM requirements extended to gigabytes. Just as Windows XP released after the unstable Windows ME, Windows 7 has released to correct the issues in Windows Vista.
It is shocking to know that Windows 7 has dumped three of the finest applications of Windows Vista-Windows Photo Gallery, Windows Movie Maker and Windows Mail. You can download all of them for free from Windows Live, but it would have been better if they came pre-installed, especially Windows Movie Maker, whose Windows 7 version rocks. Furthermore, not much is known about the ‘security part’ of Windows 7. However, all in all, buy Windows 7 because it is stylish, stable and smooth.
Though Windows Vista required hardware upgrade, Windows 7 will work comfortably in computers that have been around in the past couple of years. In other words, if you had been using Windows Vista, do not fear; Window 7 will work like butter on it, smooth and easy. Even better news is the fact that Window 7 runs much faster than Windows Vista. Try installing Vista on your Asus notebook, and it will slow down your system, but if you run it on Windows 7, it will work smoothly.
If you're thinking about installing Windows 7 on your Acer Aspire One net book, you should go right ahead. It is a great operating system, and works great with this notebook. It's much better than Vista at handling resources. My install of Windows 7 Ultimate x86 (32-bit) is here to stay,
And I will get rid of the XP partition after I do the comparisons. You should upgrade too.
And even though Vista was and still is a great operating Windows 7 is a lot better. I would never even think about installing Vista on my Acer Aspire One notebook, with its tiny 1. 3GHz Atom processor and 1GB of memory. However, I did think about installing Windows 7. Sorry, XP lovers, but XP suck. It is a very buggy operating system. It wasn't designed to handle today's hardware. The amount of small error XP has to annoy the crap out of me. It happened on my old Pentium 4 system, and is happening on my notebook.
For Windows XP users, if you are using Windows XP, and want to upgrade to Windows 7 Home or Windows 7 Professional, you will have to go for a clean install, which means you have to wipe everything on your computer. Nevertheless, once installed, Windows 7 runs smoothly; in fact, it will be up and running in an hour. It will pick up the printer drivers and graphic cards effortlessly, but it will struggle to find Wi-Fi and Bluetooth drivers, which implies that you will have to manually search for them.
I'm still recommending that whatever you have now, "If it isn’t broken, don't fix it!" But if you need to buy another computer, go with confidence to Windows 7.
