The Undeveloped Story Secrets of being awesome.

Windows Vista LOVE and moving on to 7!

I’m going to put my Microsoft fanboy hat for this post. I’m going to wear it proudly.

Windows XP was great for its time and it still is..until..  Windows Vista, which may surprise a lot of people, but is actually groundbreaking in terms of the tons of features introduced and how it changed the way you use your computer.

Windows 7 is the best of both worlds.

An honest yet somewhat inaccurate claim is that Vista is actually a lot slower than XP. This is quite true when you install it on a computer running XP and expect it to run just as fast without the need of hardware upgrades. Let’s be fair, since XP was released sometime in 2002, most computers running it are dated and they’ve probably only received minimal hardware upgrades since then. Modern games require another investment in hardware, why shouldn’t it be any different with a new operating system?

I’ve been using Vista since last year and I have no real complains as its obvious to me on why some things just dont work at all. I partly blame most customer hardware compatibility issues with Vista to poor understanding on the part of the users as to why some devices just don’t work on it like it did with XP. Not at all do I expect a 1999 HP scanner to work with Vista or 7 the same way parts of an older model of a car I have shouldn’t fit.

Vista brought the much needed change that adopted much from our own user feedback on how we use and should use our computer. In fact just focusing on usage improvements over XP alone should be enough reason for anyone to go through the necessary upgrades for their computer to run Vista.

This is all speaking from someone who’s at a neutral standpoint when it comes to Vista’s performance. From personal experience.. Vista runs fine, but just to keep myself honest, it has its moments and it does require a heavier hardware budget. I’ve had my share of disappointments as some software (mostly games) I used to run on XP sadly does fail on Vista. I can do with sacrifices as it did bring about more convenience than it brought headaches.

So what am I really saying here!? Windows 7 is awesome, but it was made awesome because it adoptedly heavily from a very misunderstood OS! Everything we love in Vista has been made better in 7!
