Windows 7 has released after three years of Vista. Vista and Windows 7 can be compared on many points and in all of them Windows 7 will win. If you take a Windows 7 review, then you will feel that it is better than any other Windows operating system. You are aware about the concept of boot time. It is the time taken by the system while booting. Windows 7 takes less time in booting as compared to Vista.
Windows 7 and Vista has same hardware requirements and hardware compatibility model. In Windows 7, user interface has been improved with usable features like Aero Peek, Aero Shake. While working on the Windows 7, you will feel uneasy because of the too many opened windows. Aero Peek feature gives you the facility to view the outline of every window, which is recently opened. You can view this outline by hovering over a show desktop field in the right of the task bar. Aero Shake feature lets you minimize all the windows except the one, on which you are working. To utilize this feature, you have to hover over one window and the other windows will be minimized.
Windows Media Centre in Windows 7 has been improved than it was in Vista. After knowing about all the features of it, it is certain that you will think of Windows 7 replacement with your current operating system. In Windows 7, a feature known as Windows Live Essentials is available, this feature is basically a bundle of applications. Now, you do not have to install each application separately, because of this feature all of the applications will be installed concurrently.
Windows 7 has improved searching mechanism. If you search for a file, then you will also get some of the information about the file. In this way, you can easily search for any of the file present on your system. Windows 7 minimum system requirements are as follows:
1 GHz processor for both of the 32-bit or 64-bit system. 1 GB of RAM for 32-bit and 2 GB of RAM for 64-bit processor. 16 GB of available free disk space for 32-bit and 20 GB of available disk space for 64-bit processor. DirectX 9 graphics processor with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver are all the basic Windows 7 requirements.

Update Windows 7 System Files
When you upgrade to Windows 7 or purchase a Windows 7 computer, the operating system files are the ones available when your Windows 7 installation media was created or when Windows was installed. Whenever necessary, Microsoft releases updates to Windows , either to provide additional functionality or to protect your computer from new security threats. It’s important to install these updates as soon
after their release as possible.
Windows Update is a feature that scans your computer, check with the Microsoft Update online database, and recommends or installs any updates that are available for Windows 7, your software programs, or your hardware.
Types of Updates given below:
● Important updates These enhances the security or reliability of the operating system and Microsoft software products.
● Recommended updates These identifies non-critical problems, and help enhance your computing experience.
● Optional updates These do not address specific Microsoft software problems. They might include software add-ons or drivers for third-party hardware. With the default settings, at 3:00 in the morning, Windows Update collects the version numbers of your operating system, Web browser, and other installed software, as well as
information about the hardware devices that are connected to your computer. It then proactively contacts the Microsoft Update site, compiles a list of updates that are available for your system, downloads any available Important or Recommended updates for Windows and Windows programs (even for Windows Update itself), and installs them.
When the update process is complete, Windows 7 Update discards the version and ID information that it collected from your computer.
Some updates require that you reboot the computer to finish the installation, because files can’t be updated while they’re in use. If you don’t restart the computer immediately after installing an update that requires a restart, Windows Update displays a reminder message. From the reminder message, you can restart the computer or dismiss the message for 10 minutes, 1 hour, or 4 hours.

Windows 7: Making SSDs Work Better
New Windows 7 is bringing many changes, including more support for new hardware, especially for solid state drives (SSD), both in terms of new commands and the operation of the system itself works. A regular user will not see anything different, but over time, we get better performance with the systems with SSD.
So far, SSDs have been used mainly in three situations: First, relatively small amounts of flash storage used in the first Netbooks, providing 4 GB, 8 GB or 16 GB of storage. That made sense, since PC manufacturers can buy flash memory in small increments, which could include 8GB of flash memory for less money than a hard drive. The problem is that users decided they wanted to do more in this type of machine in particular to running Windows who need more storage, so most of the market has now moved to low cost drives.
More importantly, I've seen a lot of thin and light notebooks using the SSD, the MacBook Air to the ThinkPad X300 to most of the new thin-and-light machines have been introduced recently. Current Units in this area often use what is called MLC (multi-level cell) NAND flash and special drivers. They tend to be especially fast read speeds compared to hard drives, so it's ideal for things like startup, but slower for writes, so many drivers for special use and cache.
(Moreover, in some ways more important now, SSDs have been used in situations in server performance is very important reading. In this case, companies have mainly used the units based on what is known as Flash SLC as a front-end for databases. A number of companies have focused on making or simply put SSD Flash memory on the boards. However, these systems do not use server operating systems, customers.)
If you've used a laptop with an SSD drive and Windows Vista, it's likely that you realize you have picked up very fast, but he wrote relatively slowly. And well has also noticed that slows time. That's because the way it operates.
Because an SSD does not require a disk head to reach a point in a dish (like a hard drive), which offers particularly fast reads of random information. In addition, SSD can read data from many sequential apace. However, random write a different story. Your typical hard disk drive has a small amount of RAM cache, so write to the disk seems to take a very short amount of time. (It takes more time to write the data physically on disk, but probably will not notice the difference, except in case of power failure.) And of course, writing a large amount of data (rather than fill the cache) will slow disk hard.
When using a hard disk and delete a file (or in fact, all data), what really happens is that the block of the unit being marked as unused, but the data really is not overridden (the why programs like Undelete often at work). This makes no difference in performance, because the system only write new data on old data when it has to.
