Q&A: Windows 7 vs Windows XP Home On Netbooks

Computer Technology and Software

August 23rd, 2010 by admin

In this video, I answer a question from phillymaniac14 who wants to know my thoughts on Windows XP performance versus Windows 7 performance on my netbooks. I own an HP Mini 1000 while my wife owns a HP Mini Vivienne Tam edition. Both of these are equipped with 2GB of RAM, but my wife still has Windows XP Home and I have Windows 7 Beta. My tests are hardly scientific but I've found that the extra memory definitely helps Windows 7 performance with full screen flash videos. As it stands, Windows 7 and Windows XP full screen flash video performance seem to be identical. With lessar RAM, Windows XP performed better. There are many factors to consider when comparing OS's especially with a beta OS such as Windows 7. There's also Flash software, browser versions and compatibility issues that may need to be adjusted on Windows 7. A very early test, but it was interesting to note. I hope this answers your question phillymaniac14. If you have any other questions you'd like me to attempt to entertain, email me at help@bwana.tv

@Thall7308 do you realize that you actually asked someone to spell something right when you spelled something else right, that makes you a “basterd”

Doesn’t Windows 7 render some programs useless where as Windows XP can use some programs Windows 7 can’t?

@iobuffa So which is better? Windows xp or windows 7? I’m thinking about switching to xp because in 7 when I play counter strike it likes to close the window and crashes and all that stuff… So which would be better, 7 or xp? Thanks in advance.
