Windows 7’s claim to fame: better than Vista

admin — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 12:01:27 +0000

Pros: Easy to install, easier to use, fixes a lot of problems, XP Mode is handy. Cons: Preferences are still difficult to navigate, Windows Update is still annoying, versions still confusing. Upgrade process flawed, at best.With the end of October comes the beginning of holiday shopping season. What better way to kick that off than to introduce a new version of Windows?
