Windows 8 vs VISTA
I started using VISTA, shortly after it became available. I never liked the operating system, it is mainly the slowness.
I've been thinking about upgrading to Windows 8, in hope that he would run more smooth. My wife has Windows 7, I love.
So my question is: Windows 8 will work better than VISTA, or that it will be more of the same?
I'd be interested to hear from others who have upgraded to Windows Vista and experience 8.
Thank you
Ray

You must install Flight simulator on vista as well as Windows Xp and vista are two different operating systems.

Windows XP and Vista does support Multi processors
Hello
Could someone tell me if material motherboards today multiprocessor support Windows XP and the same for Windows Vista? If yes would someone also indicate which version of Windows XP and Vista no it support and even for 32/64-bit options? I read that you need Windows Vista Ultimate Edition to run on the hardware of today? Is this correct?
Thanks in advance
Victor
If the material is supported on a given operating system is determined by the manufacturer equipment. If they support a given operating system, then you are good to go. If they do not, things will be less a lot rougher.
However, as a general rule, the professional level of the Windows operating systems support multiple processors if that is your only concern. I hope you understand the difference between multiple processors and multiple cores. :-)
Answers to your, "you must have Windows Vista Ultimate Edition to run on the hardware of today? Is this correct? "query is, 'no, No '.
For Windows Vista (I want to jump, if I thought to upgrade):

I am running Windows XP Professional, can I upgrade to Windows 7 or Vista?
The upgrade to Windows XP Professional editionI am running Windows XP Professional, can I upgrade to Windows 7 or Vista? I want to run the iCloud but need a more recent version to do. Thank you.
The first thing to do is to download and run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor--> http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=20
If your hardware and your applications are compatible with Windows 7 (and there are drivers available for your hardware devices) then you can buy a copy of Windows 7 and install it. You will have to do what Microsoft calls a "custom installation" which is a facility clean Windows 7 in force and which is to format your hard drive.
Thus, you must first save all your data (files, documents, music, photos, etc.) on another medium (the best is an external hard drive), and then import this into the computer after the installation of Windows 7. Microsoft is a tool for this called Windows Easy Transfer, but you can use any method you like.
Also, you must reinstall all of your applications from their original installation media. If any of these applications has been downloaded, you'll need a copy of the downloaded installation package or a way to re - download. You must also make sure that you have all your license keys.
If you go ahead with this, one thing you need to do before your existing XP installation is more usable is to download and run Belarc Advisor (free). Belarc is mainly intended to let you know if your security patches are up-to-date, it also gives you a list of license keys for a large part of your installed software.
PS: Don't waste your time with Vista. If you can not go to Windows 7, stick with XP.

Original title: Netbook Licensing
Can someone give me an answer to confirm if netbooks with Windows XP Home, Vista Home Edition, Windows 7 starter (these BONES other than professional or company) be used in a business, connected to the server environment to share files?
I read somewhere that these permits cannot connect to a domain, is this true?
Of coz these OS has not input parameters are even to join a domain, how can they connect?
CAN, that my understanding of that statement means that it cannot be connected to a domain server, means that the netbook cannot be connected to the server to access files shared server?
Can the netbook share files with other computers (vice versa), other than a domain server, on a network of companies?
So what my final question is a netbook can exist in an enterprise environment? What's a standalone machine?
I'm not able to get an answer very Microsoft Singapore confirm after the call to them.
Hello
Computers running Windows 7 Starter Edition cannot connect to a domain.

Need to have this configuration in a classroom environment.
I don't know what you mean when you ask a desktop or sharing users.
A network computer can share files and printers with other computers, but there are limits that might make it unusable for you. Windows XP and Vista allow 5 or 10 concurrent connections by other computers, depending on the version.
You need an operating system of Windows Server or Linux server to allow for more concurrent connections to shared files and printers.
I also fear that an ad - hoc network does not work well with 50 computers.
