One more question,…What does Windows XP have that makes it better than Windows 7?

For those who have used Windows XP for a long time and have troubles learning new things, it would be easier for them to continue using XP rather than upgrading to Windows 7 which uses about the same amount of space as XP for the OS itself unlike Windows Vista which seems to use a lot more than it really should.

There is not much of a difference between XP and 7. Most or All Programs are compatible with each other across the 2 Operating Systems. The start menu in laid out differently, the My Documents in XP is just called Documents in 7, etc. More User Login Pictures and Different ones, Icons are different and the Operating Systems work differently from the start (Login, if put in place) to the Homegroup/Workgroup (Workgroups still exist in 7 and so does Domain but Homegroup is a Windows 7 feature)

Windows 7 dumped support for some legacy hardware, such as Advanced Power Management and the ISA bus.

there is no has to say windows 7 dose not have the Improvmint of all the tecnologes but the point is not supporting our programes wich we had to distrow all our prevours programes and bout a new version of it thats why we still hunging up with xp

xp has an easy interface and is very light to use

good day,
ya window xp is important operating system, there are many people that like to work with window xp BECAUSE IT REQUIRE ONLY 256 MB RAM AND THE MOST IMPORTANT IS THAT IT GIVE HIGH SPEED AT LOW RAM SPACE, BUT WINDOWS XP DON’T PROVIDE SEQURITY AS WINDOWS 7. AND IMPORTANT THING IS THAT THE LOOKUP AND FEARTURE OF WINDOWS 7 IS VERY NICE AND EASILY UNDERSTANDABLE. that why i would like to perfer windows 7.

Well I thing this is a top question Number 1 :Windows XP have in the market around 9 years so in this time we can find problems solutions and add tools and utilitis to this one full operative correcting problems it have in the begining but this takes time this a importan factor and of course the is good time to make feal confortable the useres with this OS but it you look back In the begining XP have a low requerments than the spects we have now in hardware and now is a littel bit low demand so dosent use all the potential of your hardware
Number 2: now windows 7 is brand new and of course we are just star to be confortable with this on ( or not but this is a question of time) until we find all the problems and solve this ones we develop tools good for our platatorm and utilits it make more confortambe work with this so I belive is more question of time and the chance to explote the new advantages off this plataform I like windows 7 but really is because I take the risk to changes and i know it will be question of time to get all the tools I just to have when I had my xp but I belive and I hope this new tools will be better that the ones I had before

Windows XP does a better job of running DOS programs.

windows xp will run a lot af old programs designed for win 98 wearas windows 7 will not or come to that nor will vista. there a lot of old games that i like to play but will not run on win 7

Well, many already given excellent answers. Remember, XP has been around since 2001 (9-10 yrs) and Windows 7 has only been around over a year, so most of us are use to XP and many don’t like change, but that’s not the question, the question is what makes XP has that makes it better then windows 7?

Really, there’s not that much difference, however XP is still easier in many ways only because everyone is use to it. 1. Navigation is still better, XP from the start button, all programs is better because it lists all programs in 1 sub-window and also you can navigate to the actual execute file, Windows 7 you have to move your mouse to stroll frame to view all programs, then click a select program to view execute files. 2. Not only start, all programs is better, it show mouseover brief description of the program your selecting and also in some cases list the file location. Windows 7 doesn’t do this. I can list other things, but others already listed them, but I’ll stick to XP is still better in navigation better then windows 7. iaqsuk.

Windows XP’s advantage over 7 really is all about drivers. I installed 7 on my old laptop (Compaq Evo N610c) and it seemed to work okay, but the video driver was not really the right one, and had a problem getting the built-in wireless to work with 7, so went back to xp and reinstalled drivers from Compaq website. So, in my opinion, the biggest drawback (even though I really do like 7 on my new laptop) is that 7 does not have the capability of being compatible with XP manufacturer’s drivers.

First off, keep your software – I don’t want it. As for Windows XP – the only limitation I see it having is that 32 bit won’t address memory above 3.5 GB. It is much easier to create images that can be deployed to similar machines within an organization (with the XP setup manager for creating an answer file!). It can very easily run windows 7 in a virtual environment such as VMware player. Windows XP has been the newest software adopted by organizations for deploying organization wide, and few legacy applications have problems with it. The price of Windows 7 has come down, but still isn’t worth sanctioning it’s cost because of the numerous complications with deploying images. Windows 7 from a home-user stand point is just a regurgitation of Vista (with a few improvements). Microsoft staged a series of television advertisement blunders about “Windows Mojave Experiment” only to say at the end, “This is really Windows Vista”… and the proof is in the pudding that corporations haven’t gravitated to it in droves. In several attempts to learn the image deployment process of Windows 7 – I have learned a lot of limitations, but haven’t discovered much robustness to the new innovations. I will concentrate on seeing what the DSIM tool will do with offline wim editing, but it takes less time to lay out a current xp image on hardware, uninstall and reinstall applications, and then run sysprep to create an updated image.
