Good operating system still has some problems..
by Ke11er on October 13, 2009
Pros: It was a strong system has amazing new looks and features and very user friendly.
Cons: Still a bit of a hog like vista performance wise and has problems with some alot of its own drivers ie. Lifecam downloaded the driver and it disabled it for online use via flash player....problems with windows 7, drivers are my only real complaint.
Summary: great operating system, still has it bugs ie.driver support....and a bit more umph to run. But definitely where Microsoft needed to go and best thing since XP! the ...

It's an improvement on Vista
by blufyre on March 12, 2010
Pros: It has an attractive look and is quite speedy.
Cons: Certain functions that worked great in XP have been tampered with and messed up - see summary. I always say,"If it ain't broke, don't fix it". It's change for the sake of change.
Summary: Folders have no menu bar. Say you want to use the 'select all' function inside a large folder; well you can't, because there isn't one. The only way ...

Summary: Folders have no menu bar. Say you want to use the 'select all' function inside a large folder; well you can't, because there isn't one. The only way you can do it is to drag your mouse across the files and hope it gets them all.
The 'Search' function is utterly useless no matter how you set up the indexing. It can't even find a file like 'hiberfil.sys' which is right under its nose in the very root of C: drive. I've had to install Locate32, a brilliant little search application that finds any file in a flash.
Shortcuts in the Documents folder to My Videos, My Pictures and My Music folders don't work (access is denied, administrator or not) and there is no way of making them work. What barm! Believe it or not, Microsoft has an excuse for this.
The system tray volume control is only for the speakers. I eventually found that adjusting the recording volume had been made unneccessarily complicated by having to go in Control Panel/Sound/Microphone or Line-In Properties.
You can't enable 'stereo mix' if you use onboard sound, so if you want to capture a video clip and you only have onboard sound, revert to XP.
My scanner works in XP but there are no driver updates to make it work in W7.

I dual boot Windows 7 with XP. To be quite honest, if I had to choose between them, it would be XP. It's still the stablest and most efficient system Microsoft ever made. Speed wise, Windows 7 might have a very slight edge over XP, but then, it needs twice as much RAM to run.

Better than Vista, not sure about XP
by imtiazjamil on November 4, 2009
Pros: It can run almost every software made for Windows. Performance is good with system crashes like once-in-a-blue-moon. Relatively low system requirements.
Cons: It is still a lot slower than XP... Wmp 12 is a garbage and you cant even shift back to Wmp 11
Summary: You really don't need it if you are a basic user... It still lags.

Clearly better than Vista, but not without issues.
by galindenba on November 2, 2009
Pros: I just bought a brand new machine with 7 Ultimate. This runs MUCH faster and much more stable. Task bar is more functional and the Windows Explorer function which is much improved. Networking and WiFi hookup was fast, intuitive, and automatic.
Cons: OK here's my problem. I've had software, printers, and other devices running on my XP and Vista machines for a long time. With Windows 7 there are no drivers available for my HP printers. A disturbing number of applications will NOT RUN on Windows 7
Summary: While this is a very clear improvement over Vista, I am hoping that the software and device compatibility issues I am now experiencing are resolved especially the printer driver issues ...

Summary: While this is a very clear improvement over Vista, I am hoping that the software and device compatibility issues I am now experiencing are resolved especially the printer driver issues since I have no intention of replacing to perfectly good printers.
