Windows 7 is better than Vista

For all of those who have struggled with Windows Vista, set your mind on Windows 7. Even in its test form, Windows 7 has defeated Windows Vista in many benchmarks and in daily tasks. Although the look and feel maybe similar to Vista, the mechanics, stability, and ability to correctly use drivers will be far superior.

Many people have tested the beta version and were startled when they believed they saw a mere clone of Windows Vista. They were surprised when they discovered that Windows 7 wasn't just great with Benchmarks, it excelled in everyday tasks and situations.

According to an article from ZD Net, Install time was decreased dramatically as well as startup, shutdown, restart and updating using Windows Update. The taskbar has been improved and they added a feature that allows you to snap windows which makes viewing content in separate windows much easier. One of the better enhancements was the way Windows 7 utilizes resources. It is much more resource friendly! I am a Windows Vista user and I can tell you, my machine has 4 gigs of RAM and Vista manages to use almost half of that when it's just idling.

I believe Windows 7 will be a huge advancement to the technological industry, and I am definitely going to be purchasing it when it releases on October 22, 2009. Windows 7 brings many enhancements and upgrades which most are left unveiled. Keep in mind this new version is still under development. Many enhancements or changes can still be made at this point.
