Microsoft released Windows Seven (7) on Oct 22, 2009.

Here are the things you need to know about it.

First, it does improve Vista. But, if it did not, how retarded would that be? An idiot could tell you what was wrong with Vista. Vista was a RAM and CPU pig. It was sluggish when it came to starting applications and even slower when copying files to and from. Not, to mention Vista had a terribly bad navigation problem, when trying to location options to configure your system.

Windows 7 does reduce the ‘fat’. It requires less memory and made minor improvements to the ’snappyness’ of the Operating System.

However, these comparisons are against Vista, the PIG. Any improvements, can be regarded as an improvement, no matter how small, because Vista was really that bad. (Sure after a year or two and SP2 Vista was stable and usable). But, if you compare Windows 7 to XP, Windows 7 is still a PIG. It still consumes triple the RAM, Disk and CPU power, not to mention Graphics memory.

So, comparing Windows 7 to Vista is not fair. The reason comparisons should be with Vista, Yes, but still compared with XP. XP is still used by 70+% of Windows users and corporations.

If you are planning on ‘upgrading’ XP to Windows 7… well you can’t! You have to do a full reinstall. Which means you have to back up ALL your pictures, music and files than reinstall them on Windows 7. Vista users can upgrade, but if your a Vista user already, you are probably a die hard MS fan willing to put up with anything Microsoft decides to be ‘quality’ releases for you to install and use.

But, for those still sticking to XP for so many reasons, there is STILL little incentive to go out and install Windows 7.

Concidering the economy is in the gutter, and millions do not have jobs. What makes Windows 7 so great? Especially, when you will need to buy a new computer to run it? Your still going to be running the same Firefox, Chrome or IE browser you where before. If you play games, most games will have to run in virtual mode, which comes with Windows 7.

A word about visualization to run XP in Windows 7. When you get Windows 7, you will be able to download a copy of XP, that you can run in a window while running Windows 7. Why do you have to run XP when you have the latest Microsoft WIndows 7 Operating System? Because, XP games and or major software will not run on Windows 7! And the XP mode will be as slow as a snail. Why? Well it is easy to imagine that if your computer has to run both Windows 7 AND XP and the XP software you are trying to run, will slow even dual/quad core CPU’s with 2+ gigs of RAM to a crawl.

Which concludes with what type of graphics card you will need. I hope you plan to pay for a new graphics card in the hundreds, because that is what Microsoft wants you to spend just to run their bare minimum software! Because, I promise you will need the extra horse power.
