Windows 7

Windows 7 - What is it?

Windows 7 is an operating system that is simpler to use, more responsive, and full of new possibilities.

 

Windows 7 - Why do I need it?

 

  • Security - This is perhaps the most important reason for upgrading.  Your XP operating system is over 10 years old now!  (released in October 2001). Windows 7 will provide much better "out of the box" security than XP.  It was written to fix the problems with XP security.
  • Speed and Performance -  Windows 7 beats XP in all performance benchmarks.
  • More Advanced hardware Support - Better support for hardware devices.  XP does not support all of the new hardware devices being released.
  • Especially Good for Notebooks - Faster connections to wireless, faster boot times, low memory requirements.
  • You Don't Lose XP, There is a Virtual XP Mode - If you have an application that ONLY runs on XP, you can still run it in XP mode.  (Virtual XP PC!) * PC has to meet MS minimum requirements.
  • More Intuitive - There are also a numbr of improvements in the user interface that make it simpler and more intuitive to work with the operating sytem.
  • Easier migration from XP - New tools allow for easier migration from XP.
  • XP Support Ending - Mainstream support ended April 2009.  Extended support ends in April 2014.  This includes no more "Fixes" but only Critical Security Hole Patches.
