![Microsoft Windows 7 Professional SP1 64bit (OEM) System Builder DVD 1 Pack [Old Version]](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61sYIienQyL._AC_UL160_SR160,160_.jpg)
After using Windows Vista for a couple of years it was time to finally change to Window 7. Windows 7 works extremely fast, smooth, and crash free compared to Windows Vista. Installation was easy with the Win 7 DVD just installing itself on my new hard drive in about 20 minutes. On the initial start up there were a few configurations including language and internet to click through. Before installation was complete I was already connected to my home wireless internet.
Connecting to wireless is easy with Win 7. Vista sometimes had issues connecting to wireless internets, wireless printers, home networks etc, all of those problems are gone with Win 7.
Vista always had a knack for crashing and I would usually find my computer crashing a few times a month. Windows 7 has not crashed yet and I've been using it for a few months now.
Start up with Vista could take up to 7 minutes at it's worst. Win 7 startup is just over 1 minute. Shut down with Vista usually was at least 2 minutes. Win 7 shuts down in about 12 seconds.
Overall, I am very please with my transition to Win 7 and I highly recommend it, especially if you are using Vista right now.

Windows 7...an Operating System done right
Windows 7 is simply the best operating system in the market today. I have had tons of experience using Windows Operating System back when Windows 95 first debuted its Desktop Graphical User Interface. Windows 7 is truly an awesome rock-solid platform...if you could care less about Operating systems, and simply just wanna have a good computer experience, Windows 7 is right for you. In this review, i will point out versions, features, and bottom line conclusion for Microsoft's latest operating sysem.Versions:Here's the skinny on versions...Windows 7 Starter- this version is by far the least efficient version...usually comes with cheap notebooks and is nothing more than a shell with no real power. Starter works fine though on a medium laptop, but on a notebook, Starter is nothing more than a waste of time.Windows 7 Home Premium- this version of 7 is the best all-round version for anybody from stay-at home moms to mid-level laptop experts. It includes all the neat Aero Glass features and plenty of stability for whatever need you may have. If Windows 7 is a first for you, I recommend Home Premium.Windows 7 Professional- this version is primarily designed for people who wanna rune old business software...the Windows XP mode and other business features such Domain Join for better company network connectionWindows 7 Ultimate- as it name implies, this is the most expensive version...primarily designed for geeks and high-level business, features include Bitlocker Encryption for Hard Drive and support for any language of your choiceFeatures:Windows 7 Home Premium features great improvements on Vista and XPAERO PEEK- easily peek through the many open windows to your desktop by making your windows go transparentAERO SHAKE- minimize all Windows by simply shaking the windows you want to remain openAERO SNAP- drag a windows to the border of your desktop, the windows snaps into placeJUMPLISTS- shortcut into a favorite file or program feature by right-clicking the program that has been pinned to the taskbarPINNED SITES- pin programs for quick access from the taskbarImprovements:IMPROVED NOTIFICATION- no more annoyng messages, notifications are streamlined into the Action CenterIMPROVED SEARCH- faster search than Vista'sIMPROVED SECURITY- better UAC along with more reliable interface and Windows Update optionsBottom line: this is the Operating System to beat; Microsoft has already announced that all Windows 7 machines are upgradeable to Windows 8. So, if you want to remain up to date, get Windows 7 and enjoy true stability for all your PC and gaming needs! Take it from a geek!!!
