With Windows 7 now available, you can go into a store and buy a new computer with Windows 7 or you can purchase a copy of Windows 7 to put on your current computer. But should you? Well, reading my experience in upgrading my Windows Vista computer to Windows 7 will give you a little insight to help you make that decision.
Have you ever wondered how fast your computer is compared to other computers? Or would you like to know which component you should upgrade in order to speed up your computer? In Windows XP and older versions of Windows, there were always ways to get performance information. However, this information was given in cryptic charts and numbers. The average person would have had to spend a lot of time to find and assess that information. Now, however, with Windows Vista and Windows 7, Microsoft has made finding and assessing this information much easier.
With Microsoft Windows 7 coming soon, I've encountered many people who are waiting for October 22 so they can rush to the store to purchase a Windows 7 computer. Others, however, are more reluctant. They are questioning whether they should give Microsoft a few months to work out the bugs before they buy a computer with the new operating system.
In days gone by, the most useful everyday tools might have been a shovel or a knife. While we still use these tools, today one of the most useful tools is a small device our great-grand parents never even heard of - the computer mouse.
For the most part Windows Updates are good things. They are usually updates and patches that Microsoft rolls out to keep your computer safer. Occasionally, however, Microsoft uses Windows Updates to send you things that you don't want - like internet Explorer 8 or an update that screws up your computer. And Microsoft keeps trying to install the update over and over again. So you have to keep saying "No" over and over again or in some cases you have to uninstall the update over and over again.
There is, however, a way to tell Microsoft that you don't want a certain update and to make them stop bugging you about it. It is called "hiding" an update.
