@Hazoom.

you're right there...there's stuff hidden in w7 we're still figuring out.
Hopefully none of them nasty surprizes.

xp is soooo old :P

@Insignia
Firstly, welcome to The Square Circle, and secondly, sorry for the delay.
Hmm, "better" is a relative term depending on how you look at it.
But in all possibilities, this is a ton lighter than Vista.
The best part i like about it is that it doesn't drive you crazy like Vista did.
And it also runs on little netbooks.

actually dude ... there are quite a bit of a thing more than just the view and all to windows 7 ....
incase u dint notice ... ur laptop wud be atleast 50 % more faster than before coz it couples up a lotta fuctions ....

another couple of things u mite like to say about windows 7 .... since it uses lesser processor functions , its more faster ....

next ..... u can and still use all the old programs which used to work on ur xp and not on vista ... heance optimizing the speed and saving resources ...

there are quite a bit of stuff hidden in the damn thing which i m still finding out .... but i must say ...using the xp compatibility thing ... it rocks ! =D

Is this better than Vista?
I got Vista pre installed with Sony Vaio - 2 GB Core 2 Duo when I bought it early last year.

The performance was pathetic. I had to upgrade the RAM. I am not satisfied yet

dont know abt your vista speed,
my friend had it on her lappy, and it was pretty bad. like usin internet explorer on a low bandwidth connection :P
with regular 'not responding' notifs :P

for now, im happy with my XP and its vista look alike features :D

lets see what the future has in store :)

@Shimmer
say what?
hmm, I hope your opinion changes soon.

And speed is not so much different from Vista; but then even Vista was fast enough on my laptop...I'm guessing it performs better on older computers though: I know a guy at work who's using this on a 3-yr-old thinkpad.
I doubt if you can ever run Vista on that!

Welcome to The Square Circle, and thanks for dropping by, Mr. Joseph.
You're right that Vista was a pain, as an ex-Vista user myself, I've experienced first-hand the problems it has.
Win7 is much better!

@Darshan
No problem...glad you found it useful
:D

Hi Greetings:)

Very interesting and informative post. I understand Vista has been having problems since introduction and many people preferred XP professional. I suppose windows 7 will be ideal.

Have a nice day:)

@Sana
Yeah, and by the looks of it, W7 users are not complaining at all

@Dhanya
Thx
:D
Btw, if you already have xp (original :P) you can get an 'upgrade' edition that's loads cheaper than a full version...although it is exactly the same.

@Rayees
Well not really.
The default installation sets up your startup with every program you own...so it was actually slower than Vista in the beginning.
You then need to clear out all the junk software from the startup.
I feel its about the same speed as vista...no differences here.

And no clue what's wrong with my RSS...let me see wat's messing up.

Interesting ! Well, how about the speed.. swift ?...
