You should look at user interface and stuff. XP has best of them, W7 has the worst, I even had to install classic shell program to remove useless features and return old start menu. But it's still not the same — context menu in W7 is horrible, billion useless options, while I need only few of them. Close program button on desktop bar, they moved it up, os you have to move mouse longer, etc... You compare wrong things. You should look at user interface and stuff.

Yes I know the box says less but when did the specs on the box ever be accurate when it comes to a windows OS? An i7 CPU will provide an awesome experience but make sure you have a decent graphics card, at least an Nvidia 8800 is suffice. Win7 requires a tricore processor and 3 gigs of ram to properly runs.

However this also means that stronger hardware is needed to rune it. It will ALWAYS be this way. Whether a person stays with Windows, goes to Mac, Or goes to Linux. Windows XP is dead and there is no way around it eventually stuff will stop working as it is dated and software writers won't be writing apps that will be support with XP, remember Windows 98? This is how it was killed the same will happen to XP. Windows 7 requires more to run it but it doesn’t mean its a bad OS as time goes on the need to change the OS to be able to do more is needed.

You can say that openGL runs fast on XP but you can work faster on Win7 because it is more productivity oriented. I can say that you can take 5 seconds to get to your fave program on you start menu on xp but on 7 it will take you only 2 seconds by pressing winkey, typing the first letters of the program and then hitting enter. Scenarios like that really makes win7 the winner. Windows 7 is far more productive than XP.

That will do it... If you have low specs you should try windows 95. lol. Get a fast PC then install Win7. That will do it… If you have low specs you should try windows 95. lol.

I'm sorry to contradict you but as long as Windows 7 came out I installed on both my computers and I should say, it really works! Not only is nice to see but also functional and brings out the best from the various connected devices, plus at first I've tried the 32 bit version and since few months I'm trying out the 64 bit version that takes full advantage of the 4 Gb of RAM I have installed. Well XP also is a good one and when it came out I immediately did put it on my pc but now... now it's a really old op. sys. and it doesn't give the advantages expected from newer components. Sometimes you can't even find the appropriate drivers cause many brands took them out from their websites. What to say: in conclusion everything works out fine, games, applications, programs, movie conversions, data transferring. Maybe I'm the only one who think in that way but I'm happy with it so, I'm not gonna change my op. sys. neither my opinion. Best wishes Contras. :) Hi Contras.

You gotta be kidding, right? There are people in the world who, in 2011, still think Windows XP is superior to Windows 7. I mean, Windows 7 may be "resource hungrier" than Windows XP, but c'mon. You don't have to be a professional to clearly see that Windows 7 is WAY faster, more reliable, safer and nicer looking that XP. I'm surprised by some "experienced user and programmer" comments such as "Windows 7 is the worst version ever". LMAO! Where did you take your programming classes? In the 90s? Guys, this is simple: Windows XP support is KAPUT. It's an outdated Windows version. Go for Windows 7 without fear. Of course, I'm assuming this is indeed the 21st century and you could buy a computer which is capable of running windows 7 for $ 1,000. You could upgrade yours for much less than that. LOL!
