Download Windows 7

Windows 7 is Microsoft’s latest operating system. Although it seems to be a re-worked version of Microsoft Vista, this is not the case.

Windows Vista employed a technology that was very new at the time, 2006, when 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. They did, but it took up too much space for many users’ computers to operate well and required enough authorizations to complete common tasks that it would make a patient person go mad, never mention the rest of the world.

A FASTER OPERATING SYSTEM

Windows 7 offers customizable levels of user account control or UAC. Plus, it has all the same benefits of decentralized function without using as many resources as Vista did.

In fact, it takes up approximately the same footprint as Windows XP did. Just remember that Winows XP was created in 2001 when hard drives of 60GB was considered as super cool and 1GB of RAM was only a luxury.

Because Windows 7 taxes the computer’s resources the same than Windows XP did, it runs twice as fast as Windows Vista did. 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 it caused a big inconvenience, but with Windows 7, Microsoft enabled a way to stream information, music and files between users.

Another huge benefit, The HomeGroup, was added when this feature was opened up. With The HomeGroup you can easily navigate firewalls and do file permissions because it only needs the setting up of a password for the home network.

Even a printer can be shared on the HomeGroup features as it operates pretty much the same as signing onto a router. Media can be streamed to non-computer devices , such as televisions or stereos, by using the new “Play to” feature when connected to the HomeGroup, even when the user is not at home.

Windows 7 offers several other features and benefits to its users, making the decision to upgrade Vista to Windows 7 more than about the low price. Windows 7 has new features like “Shake”, the ability to minimize all but the active window by “shaking” it. Users can maximize performance based upon their computer’s strengths and weaknesses with the power efficiency reports.

They have even added improvements to favorite features like the addition of the Ribbon, as seen in Office 2007, to all Windows applications/applets and new ways to specify audio outputs. Windows 7 is the first Microsoft operating system to fully support touch screens.
