Windows 7 Anyone?


Microsoft has just pushed out it's new operating system -Windows 7. As you all know, Vista, did not make as big of a splash as they would like to have seen. Is Windows 7 any better than Vista and will people finally move from XP to Windows 7? 


Windows 7- What's Your Greatest Fear?

Money and fear can hold people back from buying. Money is pretty much self-explanatory, but the most ominous fear for anyone buying a new operating system is: "Is it going to be another, "Compatibility Problem" with Windows 7, like we had with Vista?"

A new operating system is never completely compatible with your old system. But it looks like for XP users they have included a Windows XP mode, which gives you a way in which to run programs that were compatible with XP.

However, this unique feature is only available with Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise and Ultimate. And...there is also another catch...It an optional 350MB download which requires you to have Microsoft's free virtual PC software installed...And, only Microsoft's free virtual PC software only works on PCs with Intel or AMD virtualization technology enable in the BIOS.

If you have Vista, you should not have any serious problems with the download.


What doesn't come with Windows 7

Some of the accessory programs such as, managing software, editing videos, reading PDF documents, chatting online or writing e-mail doesn't come with Windows 7. Instead you will have to download the free apps from the Microsoft website. But it still comes with IE. Maybe their idea is to save space for it's users. If you need it, download it, if not-you haven't wasted the space.

It does come with Internet Explorer, Media Player, Media Center etc. They also have Windows Security Essentials, which is a set of malware/anti-virus software that is free. You can download that software at Microsoft's Download.live. 

What's Your Options

There are always options, aren't there? Well, you can choose to:

1) wait til all the bugs come to the surface, that way most software and hardware fixes will be in; or...
2) wait til you are ready to buy another computer
