Why switch to windows 7?

Well, I've seen windows 7 (I use windows XP) and I thought "Why upgrade. Well I don't see, my computer runs fast, I don't care about windows areo and windows xp runs already all the programs I need.
So, I'm sitting here in my way of thinking of office "Why Upgrade?

catman232,
Well, here is a link to a FAQ of Windows 7 and the first issue is that you are meditating.  The key is that even as great that XP is, that it will end in the near future and support programs\hardware will begin is not not compatible at some point.  But you'll probably still some time before that begins to happen.

  • Why Illustrator on Windows 7, 64 bit, lasts 30 seconds + to save a single image?

    This question is for Adobe, thank you Customer Service.

    Why Illustrator on Windows 7, 64 bit, lasts 30 seconds + to save a single image composed of two rectangles only (screenshot below)?  I created a document like this to test the speed, because I struggled to save all documents - they hang, sometimes with the message "this program is not responding.   Switch to CC is not an option.

    If it helps, I can get off at the Adobe San Francisco Office with my computer.  I spent a lot of time trying to fix this problem without success.

    BTW, Photoshop CS6 records very well.

    Thanks again.

    I put a printer (in fact, I put it to 'Adobe PDF') and this seems to have solved the problem :-)

    I had the default printer for Windows on a network printer...  I guess that's what was causing the slowdown, even if I'm not sure of the mechanics behind this affects saving a document (without no impression goes).  I need to switch to the printer, if I need to see a copy of the paper, at least, which in my case is rare.

    I hope that others will find this thread and solve slow recording as well.

    Thanks for saving me "30 seconds x obsessive-ctrl - be ing", Jacob!

  • Can I switch from Windows XP to Windows 7 by installing Windows 7 without uninstalling XP?

    Original title: improvement of the operating system.

    Can I switch from Windows XP to Windows 7 by installing Windows 7 without uninstalling XP?

    Yes, and in fact you must do in order to qualify for the upgrade price.  You must realize, however, this update of XP to 7 involves a "custom installation" - that is, you must save your data first (on external support) and to reinstall all your applications after that Win 7 is running.

    Under certain circumstances, installing Windows 7 might create a windows.old file, but it's not clear to me what is stored in memory in the transition from XP to 7. you will certainly be able to run one of your older applications without having to reinstall them.  See, for example, http://www.chron.com/business/silverman/article/Going-from-Windows-XP-to-Windows-7-It-s-not-1609463.php

  • Why pay for Windows

    Windows seems too unreliable for pay.  It works about 90% of the time and is a constant battle.  Purchase Windows pretty much guarantees it issues.  So, why pay for Windows and then for support?  Can't Microsoft give this free?

    You can use Linux if you want something for free:

  • Lack the "Switch between Windows" button in my Quick Launch toolbar

    From: Daz 150969

    I don't have the button tab in the taskbar in order to operate the Aero of the computer part. My card under windows is 5.9. I can run aero if one press tab, ctrl and windows key and it work very well, but I think that there should be a button on the tab in the taskbar?

    From: Andrew McLaren

    The "Switch between Windows" button in the toolbar quick launch is enabled by a file called "Window Switcher.lnk" in your Quick Launch folder. If this file is missing, the icon does not appear in the Quick Launch toolbar.

    You are probably missing this file and need to replace it.

    You can get a copy of the original file here:

    "C:\Users\Default\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\Window Switcher.lnk"

    This place is normally hidden in Explorer (you won't see it).

    To put it on your own toolbar quick launch, go to a command prompt and enter these commands (replace "" with your real username, of course!  :-) -

    C:\>CD C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

    C:\Users\launch \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick > copy "C:\Users\Default\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\Window Switcher.lnk.

    You should see a "1 file (s) copied" message when the file is copied successfully. Then type "exit" to exit the command prompt.

    The "Switch between Windows" icon now needs re - appear in your quick launch menu.

    It will be useful,
