Page 2 of 3 Windows 7 will also be available in 32bit and 64bit versions. Although 64 bit Vista is the way of the future, given that it can handle up to 4TB (4 terabytes or 4000 gigabytes) of memory, there will be plenty of older machines that will work better with a 32bit version of Windows 7.

But for graphics pros, professional workstation users and others, all who have high-end machines today, more memory is an ultra important everyday requirement right now. Already many choosing to use 64bit Vista despite less drivers and compatible software, but the situation is already far better than it ever was for Windows XP 64bit. Windows 7 will essentially be the version of Windows that Vista was supposed to be, although Vista certainly hasn’t failed even though some still think XP is preferable. Vista introduced new graphics, audio and other subsystems that improved reliability, stability and crash protection from bringing down the whole system as could happen in Windows XP. Microsoft says it has been working hard in Vista SP1 and Windows Server 2008 to make the internals of Windows much, much more reliable and instantly compatible. Steve Sinofsky, Windows head honcho, says that he feel that by 2010, or 3 years since the January 30 release of Vista to consumers in early 2007, Microsoft will be in a position to launch its strongest, most reliable, most compatible and best operating system ever – or so Microsoft would have us all believe. So, we’ll have to see if Microsoft keeps its promises to ‘under promise and over deliver’, while undoubtedly – in my mind, anyway – seeing if there’s any way to get this new version of Windows out sooner, say mid 2009. So, release info early, or later in the cycle? Microsoft has changed over the years, but this time the online masses seemed filled with advice on how they can make Windows 7 better. Whether any of this will help Microsoft make a better Windows, however, is yet to be seen. Is it a change for the better or an attempt to avoid OS embarassment with things don't go to the originally publicised plan? Can Microsoft release an OS that is truly mature, is fully compatible with Windows Vista software and hardware, and is everything that Vista wasn't at start? Please read on to page 3. |
