Experience on Windows 7(1)

If you have installed Windows 7 and been running it in a computer which is running Windows Vista as well,you’ll exactly find that it works much faster than Windows Vista.Why?

Windows

You should know that the big problems of Windows Vista are the incompatibility with quite a number of software(well,a bit improvements in SP1) and the high requirement of specs.It avoids some purchasing demand of consumers because it may cost some inconvenience and a price to upgrade the system too.For most people,that is not a worth-to-do thing.Windows 7 is trying to erase this bad history and so make a much popular requirement instead.Let’s see the comparison of minimum recommended specs.

Windows Vista(Home Premium/Business/Ultimate):

Windows 7(Ultimate)

  • 1 GHz 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor

  • 1 GB of system memory

  • 40 GB hard drive with at least 15 GB of available space

  • Support for DirectX 9 graphics with:

    • WDDM Driver

    • 128 MB of graphics memory (minimum)

    • Pixel Shader 2.0 in hardware

    • 32 bits per pixel

  • DVD-ROM drive

  • Audio Output

  • Internet access (fees may apply)

  • 1 GHz 32-bit or 64-bit processor

  • 1 GB of system memory

  • 16 GB of available disk space

  • Support for DirectX 9 graphics with 128 MB memory (to enable the Aero theme)

  • DVD-R/W Drive

  • Internet access (to download the Beta and get updates)

And yes, like anything tech-related, these specs could change.

Though you may find the requirements are so similar,from my tests I feel that Windows 7 occupies less physical memory than Windows Vista when both of them are running with those beautiful Aero themes.I’ll post up the screenshots of the real usages later in order to make a detailed analysis.

All right,if you haven’t yet downloaded Windows 7 and had a try,you may refer to my previous step-by-step post and then enjoy it.I hope you will feel good on it. :)
