Windows 7 vs. Windows Vista

On October 22, 2009, Microsoft released Windows 7, the successor of the joke-of-an-operating-system, Windows Vista. Some may disagree, and as a matter of fact, I disagree, but I did agree when Vista first came out. After three some years as a Windows Vista user, I became quiet acquainted with it.

Now a Windows 7 user, I've moved more over to its side, rather than Vista's. Here's some reasons why:

• Windows 7 had little (to no) bugs that needed fixing, whereas Windows Vista didn't run smoothly until mid-2008, over a year after it was released.
• Windows 7 has a much more friendly-user interface. Windows Vista needed twice the configuration that both Windows XP and Windows 7 needed to personalize it to your liking.
• Windows 7 is evolution. Windows Vista is revolution.

The first two reasons are factual, but the third one is an opinion, but it's an opinion made by many people, including myself. Windows Vista was released mainly to steer people away from Windows XP, because Windows XP had been around almost six years before Vista was released. Now, in my opinion, I think Windows Vista was released in its "development" stage, rather than its "completed" stage.

However, Windows Vista did have a few pros:

• Windows Vista had a new design, much better than Windows XP's.
• Windows Vista (like all other OS's) came with a wider range of hardware support.
• (After a year or so) Windows Vista became more popular than Windows XP.

Being that Windows 7 is the newest "next big thing," Windows Vista will become like Windows 98, obsolete, just like Windows XP will.
