WHY WINDOWS 7 CAN FINALLY RETIRE XP


Microsoft for some time has been wanting to kill off XP --- and when Windows 7 hits, the company will finally be able to do it. Here's why Windows 7 will let Microsoft pull the plug.
First off, it's no secret that Vista hasn't been embraced by enterprises, many of whom have treated it like the plague. That's unlikely to be the case with Windows 7. One reason: Vista wouldn't run properly on a fair number of PCs in enterprises when it was initially launched because the hardware wasn't high-powered enough.
Today that's no longer the case. Enterprises have gone through at least one round of hardware refresh since the Vista launch, and so now virtually all of their PCs will run Windows 7.
The same thing holds for printers and other peripherals. One of Vista's biggest problems was that too many peripherals wouldn't run with it.
Again, though, that's no longer true. Enterprises have newer peripherals now than they had years ago. Newer peripherals will work with Windows 7, because it was designed to work with Vista-compatible hardware.
In addition, the Windows 7 beta has been quite solid and stable -- so much so that Gartner has been telling businesses that they don't need to hold off until Windows 7 SP1 to plan for deployment -- they can start planning at launch.
Given all that, Microsoft will be able to move enterprises toward Windows 7 and away from XP, ultimately allowing the company to kill XP.
Windows 7 will run on netbooks, which Vista can't do. Because Vista can't power notebooks, Microsoft has had to keep XP alive for the large and growing netbook market. But when Windows 7 ships, Microsoft will have Windows 7 installed on netbooks, not XP. That also will let it kill XP more quickly.
The upshot? Windows 7 will do something that Vista couldn't -- kill XP.

Vista wasn't bad from a users perspective. I don't understand all the negative reports on the operating system.

Hello there my friend. I am somewhat confused. You said that Vista will not run on Notebooks? What is a netbook? I have Vista on my laptop and it runs well (although I am not a fan). Is my laptop not a notebook? What is the difference?

Sorry to bombard you with these questions, but this time I really got confused. Hope all is well with you and a Happy Easter

(Windows 7 will run on netbooks, which Vista can't do. Because Vista can't power notebooks,)

I guess your wrong bro .. vista can run on netbooks. Some of new release of netbooks now are run with os windows vista home / starter.. But its not a good idea if your system are lowends or not as much power. So some users change it to windows xp. About windows 7 I've already try it. Its kinda buggy. And the official release of windows 7 will be year of 2010 or 2011. I guess.?. Xp is better than vista and windows 7.

Sorry for my english..

What you're saying is completely true. I know that everybody must say the same thing, but I just think that you put it in a way that everyone can understand. I'm sure you'll reach so many people with what you've got to say.
