If It Prints, I'll Let You Know

According to reviews, Windows 7 is the operating system that its predecessor, Windows Vista, should have been. However, Windows 7 has features that prove it to be more than just an improved Windows Vista, and there are a number of differences that set this new operating system apart from its predecessor.

Included in these differences is the fact that Windows 7 is less resource intensive than Vista. The system requirements of Windows 7 are only half of what Vista needs to run properly. Windows 7 can even run on old Windows XP computers. In addition, Windows 7 has better back compatibility and is a lot easier to tweak and customize than Vista.

It is also easier to sort and share files over a network using Windows 7. The revamped My Documents folder and the new home groups make this possible. Also, it is now easier to get work done with Windows 7 because of improvements done to the taskbar – icons can now be rearranged according to the needs of the user, full-screen previews are now available, and right-clicking on an icon pulls up a jump list menu.
