Is Windows 7 Vista In Disguise?
For those of you who are hoping that Windows 7 is going to be better than Vista, get ready to have those hopes taken away for now. A recent benchmark test revealed that the next version of the operating system is actually pretty close to its predecessor, contradicting previous claims that it’s going to be different.
Just what was so new about Microsoft’s next Windows, apart from a rejuggled UI? Windows 7 appeared to suck memory like Vista, to consume CPU like Vista, and to have the same consumer focus. How would this product be received by enterprise customers, the vast majority of whom had soundly rejected its predecessor?
The article goes on to describe how the benchmark was conducted, but the conclusion remains the same: Windows 7 is essentially Vista. Note that this is an early release, so everything is subject to change and nothing is final. Hopefully the changes that are to be made will really create distance between the two operating systems.
