Is there a reason to upgrade from XP to Wind7?

Windows 7 is finally available, but in fact, Xiao Jiang has been using the Beta and RTM versions for a few months. A little special case, Xiao Jiang is directly upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7 -- for various reasons, I have not been able to fill Vista on my own computer. So like many people who are about to abandon XP and turn into Win 7 embrace, this is a brand new experience for Xiao Jiang. Not only are many custom interface components changed (will flash network connection?), many system settings There is also a strong wind blowing (damn network connection settings), not to mention some strange interface design decisions (who knows the bottom right corner of the display desktop ah \\_/). For people upgrading from Vista, Windows 7 should have more in common, but for those who have upgraded from Windows XP, getting used to Windows 7 is bound to undergo a painful re-adjustment period. If there is a reason to upgrade to Windows XP, it is imperative to jump. The question is, is there a reason to upgrade to Windows 7?

In terms of new features, the main change in Windows 7 is its newly designed work queue and the improved Aero interface than Vista. The former combines the quick launch column with the open program to save work space, but in fact, in this new design, you can not only directly see the title of each window, but also become more open when the same application is opened. For a window (such as IE or Firefox), you must first press the button that represents the application, and from the pop-up menu, select the window you want to switch, and whiten one more step. In the previous month, Xiao Jiang was switched to the previous appearance, and later he gradually got used to it. This toolbar, plus Aero's other new features, such as automatically moving the window when it is moved to the edge of the screen, or shaking the window to minimize other windows, etc., basically no Xiao Jiang feels absolutely necessary of. XP has been used for so many years, didn't you think there was anything wrong with it? Another place that people often hear that Windows 7 predominates is stability. At this point, Windows 7 is really stable. It took so long that Xiao Jiang has never been dead. Even the graphics card driver hangs the system and can still save it. It is a must say. admire. But on the other hand, after many years of tinkering with Windows XP, XP SP3 is not necessarily worse. As long as it is not too outrageous, XP is a fairly reliable choice. Most importantly, after so many years of "training", most people have the ability to make initial diagnosis and debugging for XP. If you upgrade to Windows 7, there are many settings, and I am afraid to relearn. Moreover, any new operating system listed, there will be loopholes to make up. In this regard, although Windows 7 is built on Vista, it should be relatively safe, but it will not be a bad thing to wait for Windows 7 SP1 to upgrade.

In terms of resources, people often hear that Windows 7 eats less, but this should be for Windows Vista. Xiao Jiang's observation Windows 7 actually eats more resources than XP, but the management of the remaining resources Windows 7 is more appropriate than Windows XP, especially when the boot time is extended, this gap will appear. From this point of view, people often have a computer for a few months, or a computer with about 1.5~2GB of memory may be the best choice for Windows 7 -- Windows XP will be less resource-intensive than 1.5GB. But in fact, Win7 is not bad, especially when the notebook is more concerned about resource allocation, and there is no need for high-powered hard disk to provide virtual memory support. If it is more than 2GB, it will not make a difference.

At present, XP still accounts for the majority of personal computers. Even Vista has not replaced XP's status, so for the foreseeable future (at least until Windows 7 SP1), neither software nor drivers. It may claim that it does not support Windows XP. Similarly, although Microsoft has stopped supporting Windows XP, considering the huge use of the group, the security patch is still required? As long as there is a problem, you can find a good person to save, and you must continue to use XP in software is also innocent.

Finally, do you have to change your computer one day? Before that, look for opportunities to borrow people with Windows 7 to familiarize yourself with the new working environment. When you change your computer, you can enjoy the new era of Windows 7 without pain! By the way, the above description is only for XP users. If you use that interface to be similar to Windows 7, poor stability, and resource-hungry Vista, I really can't think of a reason why you don't want to upgrade soon.
