Why You Should Upgrade To Windows 7

Windows 7 is Microsoft’s latest operating system. This latest version of Windows may appear to be a re-worked version of Vista, but that’s only half the story.
A totally new technology was employed in 2006 when Windows Vista was launched. The new technology involves the way in which the kernel of the computer operates. Because the computer ran off the kernel with Windows XP, there was a need for many new service packs and updates.
The system became vulnerable for hackers from all over the world that took advantage with labyrinth of Trojans, worms and even more.
Microsoft tried to address this issue in Windows Vista. This took up too much space for many users’ computers to operate sufficiently and even common tasks required too much authorization and made the most users loose their patience.
A MORE EFFICIENT OPERATING SYSTEM
Windows 7 offers its users customizable levels of user account control, also known as UAC for short. Although it has all the same benefits of decentralized function, it does not use nearly as many resources.
In fact, Windows 7 takes up the approximately the same footprint as Windows XP. Keeping in mind that XP was created in 2001 when a 60GB hard drive was considered rather large and 1GB of RAM was seen as a luxury.
Windows 7 runs twice as fast as Vista because the computer’s resources is only taxed like with Windows XP. This is a huge reason to upgrade Vista to Windows 7 in and of itself.
FEATURES OF WINDOWS 7
One of the worst side effects of decentralizing core operations from the kernel means that the user re-focus the operations. This means that users can have very separate libraries. In previous versions of Windows, this would have been a big inconvenience for Windows households, but Microsoft enabled a way to stream information, music, files, etc. from one user library to another.
When this feature was opened up, another huge benefit was added, The HomeGroup . The HomeGroup makes navigating firewalls and file permissions a snap, really just as easy as setting a password for the home network.
The HomeGroup feature operates similarly to signing onto a router only the HomeGroup exists in a cloud that makes sharing easy, even sharing a printer. Non-computer devices, such as televisions or stereos, can be connected to the HomeGroup and have media streamed to it by using the new “Play to” feature, even when users are not at home.
Although Windows 7 stunned users with its low price, the decision to upgrade Vista to Windows 7 is made easier with the several other features it has to offer. One of these new features is the “Shake” that enables a user to minimize all windows but the active window by “shaking” it. A power efficiency report enables a user to maximize his computer’s performance according to the strengths and weaknesses of his specific computer.
Improvements has been added to the popular features such as the Ribbon, as seen in Office 2007, to all Windows applets/applications and new ways to easily specify audio outputs. Windows 7 fully supports touch screens, making it the very first of any Microsoft operating systems to do so.
