I am strongly considering upgrading my laptop from Vista to Windows 7, in the next few months or so. What are the main differences between the two operating systems ?. How many of you out there prefer Windows 7, and why ?. Do you think I would be making the right choice, by upgrading ?.
Answer
Aero Peek
allows Win 7 users to instantly make all the opened windows transparent. So let say, you want to see the weather on Windows 7 sidebar Gadget, this will be very useful.
New Taskbar
Windows 7 desktop will look different now because of the new taskbar. You can now reorder the opened Window buttons. It has Jump Lists feature which will allow you to access common programs very easily. And you can see the full screen preview before switching to a window.
Media Center
Win 7 comes with enhanced Media Center experience. It will have Internet TV which will telecast MSN channels by default and will have a desktop sidebar gadget for the same too.
Better and Faster Performance
One problem that we found with Vista, of course, was with performance. Vista loads so many programs at start-up that it creates an annoyingly slow boot-up sequence. Windows 7 will address this Vista flaw with fewer services that will launch at start-up, and these services will run in parallel. Hence, this results in a faster boot-up sequence leading to a more compact and yet very efficient Windows 7 OS. Microsoft also promises fewer system crashes in Windows 7 than in Windows Vista.
Less Storage Requirement
My favorite Windows 7 improvement has got to be this one - a lesser storage space requirement. We all know that Vista eats up a huge amount of space on your hard drive, something around 13.3GB. With Windows 7, the storage requirement has been reduced to around 7.4GB. In addition, the program files folder was significantly reduced in size. Less storage requirement equates to faster performance.

Where do I get the vista desktop sidebar for windows 7?
Rin Medea
I have just gotten a new laptop with windows 7 as the operating system and I am used to the sidebar in vista that could show the weather/date/games etc. I have tried just to google it and did find something but it wasn't the same as the sidebar I got with vista. Is there a special website I can go to to install one?
Answer
Right-click the desktop and there should be an option labelled "Gadgets." They've been improved over Vista in that they're no longer confined to a sidebar. You can drag them anywhere on the screen now.
