Windows 7 Versus Windows XP

Windows Tips and Tricks: Windows 7 Versus Windows XP
“Is it really time to drop XP?”

I’ve seen many articles about Win 7 vs. Vista, but what about an article about Win 7 vs. XP?

My family (including two seniors) and our family business (a non-profit) have been using XP on our three computers for years. I’m pretty comfortable with it, but my wife is weak with computers. She can e-mail, write simple documents and print them, and browse the Internet, but has a hard time learning anything different. We tried a Vista laptop once, hated it, and took it right back to the store.

Is there any good reason for us to switch to 7? How will it be better?

That’s an excellent, timely question. I have no doubt that there are many people in your situation. Admittedly, Windows Vista was a bomb when introduced—although it is working pretty well for many people now. Microsoft is now trying to make amends with Windows 7. However, just because Win 7 is universally acknowledged as better than Vista, doesn’t necessarily mean it is time to drop XP. Bob’s question prompted me to investigate the subject, and there is a great deal of data available.
