This article can be seen in New York Time’s technology section, and explores the positives and negatives to Window’s new operating system. With many consumers not being a fan of Microsoft Vista, they will be pleasantly surprised with Windows 7. Some advantageous features are less potential security threats, less exorbitant hardware requirements, and a much faster, responsive performance. The negative traits are consumers that currently operate Windows XP will have difficulty upgrading and will have to move all programs from their hard drive, then reinstall after Windows 7 is set up. Also Windows 7 does not come equipped with the minimum software for managing photos, reading pdf files, or even maintaining a calendar. Instead Windows 7 is liberating their customers by allowing them to download these free applications. Some companies already plan on installing these essential programs before the computers are sold. All in all Windows is living up to its brand and restoring consumer’s faith with its compatibility while throwing in extra efficient features!
