• Best version of Windows Microsoft has ever released.

  craigf702January 8, 2012

  Pros

  Great hardware compatibility. Super quick boot-times with proper hardware. Very customizable. Networking is easier than ever. More secure against viruses and Mal-ware than any previous version of windows. Comes pre-loaded with great apps and progs.

  Cons

  Uses a lot of system resources to run.

  Summary

  I think Microsoft out did itself with Windows 7. Given the proper hardware it runs better than any previous versions of Windows. It has a remarkable ability to support various hardware and software. The utilities that come pre-loaded are better than ever. You still need a third-party anti-virus but virtually every other maintenance and security software comes pre-loaded. The new Internet Explorer is great, but I still recommend downloading Mozilla Firefox. For anti-virus simply download the free edition of AVG from download.com. This is a very good showing from Microsoft.

• Windows 7 kills all other Operating Systems

  Windows7fan527July 5, 2011

  Pros

  Fast, stable, faster start-up and shutdown, great at multitasking, Aero peak and snap are nice features, and oh yeah, IT IS THE BEST OPERATING SYSTEM EVER!!!!

  Cons

  Not as compatible with as many programs as xp. Somewhat expensive and battery life on laptops hasn't improved much.

  Summary

  You would be insane to stick with xp and vista. It is no doubt one of the best operating systems ever. Congratulations to you Microsoft!!!

• Windows 7 Home Premium

  marky500June 14, 2010

  Pros

  Nicely redesigned UI Faster More transparency Faster boot time and shut down Libraries added

  Cons

  Pricey for only minor UI improvements Beginning to copy off of the Mac

  Summary

  While Windows 7 offers unique functionality over past Windows versions, it is not worth $119 to upgrade. Some programs loose compatibility while others maintain better speed. It is becoming more and more like the Mac.

• One of the best OS evah!

  Jim_DAJune 8, 2010

  Pros

  The OS runs remarkably well on newer laptops (Mine having 3GB RAM), programs run rather well on it. Rather user friendly. Good for the basic home uses and mostly for College work.

  Cons

  Some older programs take a little tweaking to get it to work. Somewhat expensive.

  Summary

  This operating system was a real comeback for Windows after the Vista disaster. This one doesn't take up much processing compared to its predecessor. Most older programs will work on it, though some will require tweaking. On the upside, those that do need tweaking VIA Compatibility mode isn't as difficult to tweak as an option was added to test for the best compatibility setting for optimal performance. Newer programs don't require much of any tweaking... if any! Rather useful for those (like myself) who are going to college for a computer-based degree and will be dealing with programs old and new while going through the courses. Though on the topic of college, the price is a bit high... but then again, what does one expect from an operating system this good and this fresh into the market?
