Newest Version of Windows Released |
|
Microsoft has released a new version of their operating system called Windows 7, and inital sales figures
report that twice as many copies of Windows 7 have been sold than were sold during the same period during the release of Windows
Vista. It only includes a few new features, like touch screen compatibility. You'll likely need a new monitor to use that
feature, which is not an option for built in laptop monitors. It was designed to be compatible with hardware and software that is
currently available for Windows Vista. So upgrading from Vista to Windows 7 is not as difficult as it was from XP to Vista. |
