There was quite a buzz in the market about Microsoft’s new upgraded version of OS - Windows 7.Mostly upgraded versions are always assumed to be a better one, but this time we were sadly mistaken. But Alas! WIN 7 disappointed its users. And guess what, it’s the age old Windows XP that stands as a challenge to WIN 7!
Okay, let’s see a few details about WIN 7 that do not work in its favor:
If you thought Win7 had some great additional or power features with it, you were sadly mistaken. Only WIN 7’s look scores more than Windows XP.
For better insight read below, the direct excerpt from the blog post on WIN 7:
“The perfect example of why some people might not take the Win 7 plunge. He has been using an R series ThinkPad since 2004, with 512 MB RAM, a 20 GB hard drive, and a Celeron processor. He is perfectly delighted with it and when I showed him Windows 7, said, “Yes, it is very pretty. But I can access e-mail, run MS Office, surf the Net, play around with Photoshop, access all my social networks, blog and all on my current notebook. Why do I need to upgrade? I will need a new notebook or will need to upgrade this one significantly, pay for the new OS, and will have to invest in software all over again.”
Most XP users’ arguments are simple – in terms of functionality, they can do most of their basic as well as advanced computing tasks on Windows XP, which has a lower hardware requirement than Windows 7. So why on earth should they upgrade? Windows 7 does look stacks better and has some terrifically cool features, but so far Microsoft has not come up with a compelling reason for Win XP users to move to it.”http://www.articlemarketingautomation.com/articles/edit/afC7pEgXeAnrfYu2AdJrwqhrXjbPga7X6UeApB2Q
