Windows 7 vs. Windows XP

Many PC manufacturers, including netbook makers, are alms a free upgrades and advancement agenda for Microsoft's Windows 7 and it's time we activate out how Windows 7 will accomplish on one of the a lot of accepted netbooks currently on the market! Using the absolution candidate, we installed Windows 7 on the Dell netbook and ran all the benchmarks we run in our abounding reviews in adjustment to get a abounding consequence on how Windows 7 endless up against Microsoft Windows XP on a netbook. Many in the association active netbooks are absolutely acquisitive Windows 7 holds its own on a netbook because, let's face it, 2002's Windows XP on any 2009 arrangement just seems backwards.

Armed with a 4 GB accelerated USB flash drive and step-by-step instructions by Kurt Shintaku, we were calmly able to install Windows 7 on the netbook.

However, afterwards a amount of updates, Windows 7 in fact knew that we had not installed the ACPI disciplinarian yet and acicular us anon to disciplinarian which we downloaded and installed and it formed perfectly. I would also acclaim installing the Intel Graphics disciplinarian from the alternative Windows updates as it does install some added files acclimated by the driver.

Now that we accept explained how we accept installed Windows 7 on the Dell netbook, let’s see how it performed adjoin the pre-installed Windows XP installation!
