Windows 7 Better Than Vista?

Today on October 22nd of 2009, Microsoft released their new computer operating system. The new Windows 7 takes all the problems of Vista, the previous software system, and removes them. Vista caused many problems for people and that led to a development of a new computer operating system they called Windows 7, supposedly better then the not so successful Vista. It is still a wonder if Windows will take on those technical bugs and stop them since this is the first day of release. Thanks to Vista, Microsoft can gain more cash for solving there customers problems and needs. "If consumers like the new Windows 7 operating system, they'll have the much-maligned Windows Vista to thank.", says CNN. "Until Vista, Microsoft was fully thinking on their own and implementing their own ideas and then releasing it." Thankfully before shipping out a new product, they heard their customers problems and they decided to make a change. The product has been given good review so far, but who knows what might happen? Bugs and glitches can take time to show up and that can waste time, money, and electricity, which are all very important in today's economy. Many different changes have been added to the new software like less clutter on the desktop leaving room for more options. "The result is that Windows 7, in many cases, can boot up more quickly and go in and out of sleep in a matter of seconds." All in all Windows 7 seems successful so far.

The new Windows 7 seems to make me uneasy. I predict that some kind of bug will show up one day and prove to be as unreliable as the previous Vista. Microsoft changed their whole design, going for something newer, adding to the risk. I still look forward to buying the software and testing it out to see if my guess was correct. The quote, "Microsoft, too, still has room for improvement," added to my suspensions because it seemed like the company wasn't too sure if they were going to be successful with their new launch. Technically, a company should be confident in their work and hope for the best. You might say that it is just my opinion and you are probably right, but I have a feeling Windows 7 won't be worth all the hype. I wish the Microsoft company good luck with their productivity rates and let us see how things turn out. There past products have been outstanding and have helped many people complete their work, including me type this blog post with Windows Vista. An example of one problem Vista has is that when a family member tried to open a document from a flash-drive, the program did not regester in Vista and the memory on the flash-drive deleted. I hope Windows 7 is better than Vista for the sake of the company, and for myself. Look out for more coverage on the topic on their website-http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/. For now, keep learning fellow bloggers!

  1. I agree. Windows Vista was a horrible operating system with tons of glitches and little improvements. However, I think Windows 7 will be awesome and I'm definitely looking forward to upgrading.
