  • Abstract:  While most Tom’s Hardware readers initially resisted the switch from Windows XP, responses to our own articles since last year suggested that many have given up the fight and moved to Vista. Perhaps Microsoft’s end-of-life announcement for that venerab...

  • This is the Ferrari to Windows 7 Home Premium's Ford, and that's reflected in the price. If you're after the true power of Windows 7, however, Ultimate is the best option ...

  • umption benchmark, and find out what issues your business needs to focus on.
  • Windows 7 is more than what Vista should have been: its where Microsoft needs to go. How much damage Vista did, and whether Windows 7 will persuade people to finally abandon Windows XP, remains to be seen...

  • Abstract:  I’m a big fan of Windows 7—it runs fast and never crashed during all of my testing. It is a rock-solid OS for photographic workflows, providing a good platform for Adobe’s Photoshop and other commercial apps, handles memory well, and has a slight inter...

  • Strong design and Microsoft dont always go together, but they do in Windows 7. Users might take a while to get used to the new taskbar and Aero Peek, but theyre a pleasure to use.
  • Performance is still hit-or-miss in Windows 7. At the ripe age of seven, Windows XP still performs better in some categories.
  • Windows 7 is more than what Vista should have been, its where Microsoft needed to go. How much damage Vista did and whether Windows 7 is enough for people to finally abandon Windows XP are questions that nobody has the answers to right now.
