Microsoft Windows 7 Features Preview

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

Although many say Microsoft Windows operating system is poor, it still the biggest player in Worldwide market. For example myself prefer MAC OS X Leopard, but it didn’t come as cheap as Windows price and also some hardware compatibility problem. At the end, I stick with Windows.

Actually not only me. Are you one of the Windows user here? I pick up the statistics from Google Analytics and found 71% Windows XP user, 27% Windows Vista user, and only 7% Macintosh user. From the results, we know most of the Windows user stick at Windows XP since it release on year 2002. Why? Are they waiting for better OS? Or they computer specs unable to support resources hungry Vista?
