Simple

Windows 7 is simple, attractive and fast! It has a better way to find and manage those files. It has Jump Lists and enhanced views of the taskbar, which helps to perform those everyday tasks with ease. It is designed for more reliable performance. It has cool features such as Windows Media Center, Windows Touch and HomeGroup. I like how everything on it seems to be easy to use. I mean, I haven't came across anything that is complicated yet, but of course, that does not mean that it doesn't exist.

The Booth Performance

I must say that I have noticed the boot performance is better. The boot performance was a big complaint about Windows Vista. Microsoft has the goal to make Windows 7 take only 15 minutes to boot up. As for Windows Vista, it takes 30 seconds to booth up.

The Desktop

I really like the desktop features of windows 7. Not to mention the fact that the taskbar has larger buttons. Right now, I have my desktop set on switching pictures ever so often – that's a pretty cool feature for people like me who cannot decide which picture they want on their desktop. I can now have them all!

HomeGroup

With HomeGroup, you can easily share files and the printer network is not so hard to set up. You can connect multiple computers that are running Windows 7 effortlessly and start sharing images, music, documents and videos.

3

Memory

I really like how Windows 7 does not take up as much memory as Vista did. The services in the background are only powered when you need them. Therefore, Windows 7 is designed to run programs faster.

Famous Quotes

To give oneself earnestly to the duties due to men, and, while respecting spiritual beings, to keep aloof from them, may be called wisdom.

Windows Touch

If you have Windows Touch, Windows 7 makes it a whole lot easier. You can use your finger tips to browse the web. This is a whole new way of working on the computer.

Personalize

Windows 7 makes it much easier to personalize your computer. You can easily customize the themes, desktop background, desktop slide and a whole lot more. The new downloads will be available in the gallery of personalization. I like the personal touch I can give my laptop –It's pretty cool.

There you have 7 reasons to use Windows 7. Of course, those are not the only reasons to use Windows 7 – there are plenty of other reasons for you to get it. I know, it's pretty expensive, especially if you get the ultimate, like I did – but I think it is all well worth it. So, do you have Windows 7 yet?

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

You're article is well thought out and all but there some things that you failed to mention which really puts things in a different perspective. While Windows Vista was not a good OS, it did have its good points as it has major improvements over the previous versions. One of the major improvements was the in-built security that come in with the OS, however as always happens too much of a good thing becomes a bad thing and its needless security made the system slow and annoying to use. As for the Visual Eye Candy that you mention, they were actually all available in Windows Vista, however if the PC was not strong enough these were disabled. As for the big icons in the task bar, they were allowed in Vista too. As for sharing, it is pretty easy once you shared on a network once, and Homegroup gets pretty annoying after a while as it does not support multiple accounts (example one for home and one for work). By setting up the files properly better sharing can be achieved by both OSes regardless of homegroup. As for touch, that was available since the times of XP as there were Windows XP tablets that came out in 2001, laggy as they were. In conclusion: Vista was a bad OS that was not properly tested and Windows 7 is a much better release however most of the reasons given do not reflect the situation.... it is like saying eating a salad is better for your health than pasta because it can be eaten cold. So before posting an article about something, please do some research, you may learn something that changes your whole perspective of the subject.
