As Windows 7 hits the retail shelves, we read more and more reviews that encourage us to spend our money and upgrade to the latest and greatest Windows from Microsoft. Surely, Windows 7 offers the finest functionality improvement, from user interface to management and control, over all previous Windows versions especially the misconceived Vista. We tested the RC and saw that the praises are true, among them, Windows 7 indeed boots faster, performs better and has a more convenient UAC.

 

Some comments in the reviews even go so far as to suggest that Windows 7 scales better than XP, and that multitasking in XP is slow and painful, whereas Windows 7 seems to multitask so much better with the new taskbar. So there is no point supporting a 10 years old OS and it's time to let go, is there? Although we may say Windows 7 is good partly because Vista is bad, we wouldn't think XP is bad just because Windows 7 is good.

We work in an online publishing and software engineering business and often find ourselves facing heavy workload, tight budget and deadlines. We learnt from experience that to survive any understaffed situations, multi-tasking is the only way to go. Now we are like others, considering upgrade or not to upgrade. We decided to publish our guide about how to multi-task with Window XP (The guide also applies to Windows Vista as well) and look for feedback that shows us we could be more productive and efficient on Windows 7.

 

 

Windows 7 created a media frenzy with everyone waiting for so far (probably) the best designed Windows OS to ship. Most people see that it could deliver and save Microsoft some face from the Vista woe. Windows 7 carries a price tag, so we are here to help you judge whether the new features introduced in 7 are useful or not. If you look forward to upgrade to improve your work, check this article out to see if Windows 7 offers any productivity enhancement.
