Microsoft Windows 7 VS Microsoft Windows Vista

The all new Windows 7 from the outset closely resembles its predecessor. The first thing you will notice is that the Windows 7 looks and works very similar to Vista, in the sense that it has a similar infrastructure underneath.  However, the tech team at Microsoft have ironed out the problems and removed the majority of nuisances of Vista to create an operating system that is problem free and can be personalised to work the way you want it too.

When developing Windows 7, Microsoft analysed data from hundreds of millions of computing sessions to find out exactly what people do with their computers and then removed or adjusted the OS to make Windows 7, faster and smoother than previous OS.

Windows 7 has a smaller foot print than Vista which means you need less space to install the new operating system. It works using few resources which means that it loads up and shuts down quicker than any other Windows OS  – no more waiting around whilst your computer loads up!

In terms of the user interface Windows 7 has a few noticeable changes. The Vista sidebar has been removed and replaced by a new task bar which allows you to pin applications alongside running applications which speeds up navigation and multi-tasking.  If you want an interface which makes navigation easy and efficient then buy Windows 7.

Windows 7 also boasts a whole array of new functions compared to the Vista OS which is made to improve user experience. Overall, I would recommend buying Windows 7 – it is smoother and easier to use than Vista and so far has proved to be a lot less buggy.
