Wrong! Here is the right list (dare try to catch my at any point?):
If you want a good reason to upgrade then consider these points about
Win XP 64bit compared to
Win 7 32bit on the same hardware:
1. you can use more than 4GB of ram with
Win XP 64bit
2. most programs will run faster if you have more than 4GB of ram in
Win XP 64bit due to having more memory available for each program
3. 32bit programs run faster in 64bit Win 7 than on 32bit XP
<< Wrong for both Win 7 64bit and Win XP 64bit operating systems. It seems you have no clue how 32bit applications are running in 64bit environment and you even have no idea what thunking is, but I'm telling you that 32bit applications will work as fast as they can on 32bit operating systems ONLY.
4.
Win XP is faster overall than
Win 7 and there are lots of benchmarks in the Net that prove it. Furthermore, there are many benchmarks that says: Vista and Win 7 have almost the same speed,e.g.:
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/...ance,2442.html :
At some serious tasks Vista is even faster than Win 7: What a surprise!
So please don't even try to state that Win 7 is faster than Win XP. Sometimes it even slower than Vista which was sucking from its birthday and will suck forever.
