Windows 7

Operating System:

I decided to do some research on Windows 7. Windows 7 was released to manufacturing in July of 2009. It came out only three years after Vista. This makes sense to me because I have a number of bad things about Vista (though I have never used it). What makes it unique is that it will be compatible with the older versions and with Windows Vista. Some other new features are a new taskbar, the, “Superbar” and a home networking system called the HomeGroup. The moviemaker will not come with Windows 7 which is not a big deal to me since it always fried when I tried to use it anyway. After my interview with my brother in law, I think our school made a good move by skipping Vista. Many companies are in the process upgrading to this system so to keep up with the times, we will all need to upgrade. These are some of the requirements of Windows 7.
