windows 7 vs windows vista
There it is. The October 22 will be launched officially Windows 7 , the new operating system Microsoft , the supposed panacea of the American giant in front of his unfortunate (mis-managed) Windows Vista .
Much has been written a lot and the other, but really what differences exist between the two platforms? Are we witnessing a new version of Windows or to a newer version of Windows Vista ? How would you proceed with the migration of an operating system to another ? Will crudely copying the styles of Mac OS X ?
Well, let’s go by parts.
Vista, also known as the antichrist of the computer or the wrong horse ( it will be so slow went it in full capacity), provoked a barrage of criticism pointed to two basic form of touch noses to the user
1.Slowdown of applications and the operating system
2.Compatibility issues with certain drivers and program
SOLUTION in WINDOWS 7
One of the workhorses of the engineers at Microsoft was to recover the thousands of customers dissatisfiedwith the problems arising from these two circumstances.In fact, one of the weapons to promote the new operating system is its operation : in just 20 seconds, Windows 7 is ready for use .
Furthermore, once open, the platform leverages the resources of the team did not crush as its predecessor.Without reaching the point of optimization that could Windows XP , Windows 7 has certainly improved the viability of the power system to function properly in computers with single-core processor supported by a gig of RAM (which points directly to netbooks lighter , the target of many software manufacturers ).
Regarding the compatibility , Windows 7 has also been stepping up .When the average user migrated from Windows XP to Vista (or when it was forced, via pre-installed in new equipment, with an inability to go back) found that many of the tools and programs used usually had no version for the new operating system .And it was.And was not corrected in many thousands of cases .Between 15,000 and 20,000 applications were certified for Vista .
Given this fact, there are already 80,000 drivers ready for Windows 7a month to come out officially to the market. The figure speaks for itself demonstrated the incompetence that Microsoft in this regard .
Jumping from stage one of the data that has surprised most Windows users usually are not much interested in computers and technology that benefit has been so fashionable these days , that Windowshas been able to use for personal gain face the popular audience: the screen touch .
The interface of this new version, based on what we know of Vista , the latter known as Aero , and it is not just a microsoftiana adaptation of that used by Mac OSX, Aqua (which is showing signs of creative laziness Microsoft ... until to baptize their products), is prepared for capacitive monitors .
What is a capacitive monitor ?Well, imagine ascreen iPhone , say, between 12 and 22 inches : it is a monitor with multitouch capabilities, much like the all in one HP or Asus (or nettops , as they are known).And yes, it is. Windows 7 may be used without the need for a mouse and keyboard , the traditional way, but tinkering directly on the screen .
In the end, then are we to a new operating system or upgrade baptized by another name ?When in doubt,references .The most striking leaps in the evolution of Windows we have them in the passage of the NT versions 3.11 and Windows 98 (possibly the most stable version in the version in Second Edition , along with the aforementioned 3.11 ) to XP (of course experiences Millennium and 2000 ).
Are we witnessing a quantum leap of this nature?
Radically, no .Some people says that Windows 7 is just an upgrade to Windows Vista's letter where complaints have forced users to redefine the operating system while retaining its essence.However, the name of Windows Vista was so devalued as a brand that Microsoft chose to lock him in the basement and making a new name .
The experiences with the beta of Windows 7 being at least satisfactory for those who have tried it.
However, as always seems to happen to these cases, of little worth justifications or comparative assessments against tough jury that is the market .
And finally, the last word belongs to that user who knows nothing about performance, and updates computer architecture : that works , do not hang up or make you wait , it will be satisfied .
