Time for an UPGRADE!

Sorry guys, I didn't have time for a video pick of the week, because I was too busy upgrading my laptop from Windows Vista 64 bit to Windows 7 64 bit! The funny thing is that I was really close to actually purchasing a student version for $29.99. What's funny about it is the fact that my college, NYITregisters the students majoring in either Computer Science and Engineering. Lucky for me I'm majoring in Computer Science!

Windows 7 Pro 64bit is more elegant and better coded than Vista. Which is good because Vista is too heavy on computers. For those of you who don't use Vista, in order for you to run it "smoothly" you need at least 3GB of RAM because Vista needs around 2GB to run. Windows 7 on the other hand runs just fine with 1GB of RAM. Personally, I have 4GB of RAM which is great, for now at least.

Major improvements in Windows 7:

It's lighter than VISTA, more user friendly, faster start up.

What can be a bit hard to get used to at first with Windows 7, is the task bar. It's a bit different, but in a matter of minutes you'll get used to it. It took me around 15 minutes to get used to it

To tell you the truth, I kind of liked Windows Vista, but could see the flaws in why users weren't upgrading from XP to VISTA. 7 on the other hand, I think it will truly replace XP as the widely used OS, hence satisfying PC Users.

Have an awesome weekend everyone!
