Windows 7 Beta: Inconvenient Truth discovered

Posted on 13. Jan, 2009 by SciTech Shark in Software

Quote from the review: “Let’s just cut to the chase here: Windows 7 is built on top of Windows Vista. It doesn’t roll back the major changes that Vista made; it doesn’t reduce system requirements (for example, it still needs Direct3D graphics and 1 GB RAM to be worthwhile), it doesn’t undo security decisions like UAC, and, except for specific scenarios like booting, it doesn’t really perform significantly better. However, Windows 7 shouldn’t make anything any worse.”
