It is New Years 2008, now. Windows Vista will be replaced by Windows 7, around the end of 2009; or maybe in 2010. Windows 7 will the new Beta 8 version browser; and there will it will have more and newer software applications. Windows 7 is supposed to be designed to be compatible to install on computers that are running Windows Vista. The new Windows 7 operating system is supposed to be able to start up; and able to close faster than the Windows Vista operating system. Windows 7 has a combination of the best of Vista and XP, in it's taskbar. It uses cascading documents and you can get to the programs, and the Computer drives and removable storage, and the control panel; from the Start menu. Windows 7; will probably have more advanced software applications like Windows Vista, but newer versions will probably be used; but, it will not come with Windows Movie Maker, and Windows Photo Gallery. The Windows 7, Multimedia will be different, because HDTV instead of Analog TV will be the standard for receiving TV channels; so probably many new computers that are HDTV ready, or a HDTV tuner card will have to be used. Windows XP was the first operating system to have multimedia TV. Windows Vista was the first computer to have a Beta web browser. Some new computers can up to 4GB of RAM memory (1 megabyte (MB) = 1 million bytes; 1 gigabyte (GB) = 1 billion bytes); and computers hardware has always been advancing, since newer operating systems have been made; to make the computers have the full requirements to run the more and more sophisticated software. There are now 1 Terabyte (Tb) and 2Tb (1000Gb = 1Tb) Hard Drives available for computers. There still are many computers using Windows 95 and windows 98, that is almost 15 years old now, but they have to use the old MSIE 5 or 6 version browser, with their operating system. Upgrading windows 7, from Windows XP or Windows Vista, might need updates, so the new operation system will run, and be compatible with the new operating system. A compatible Virus Scanner for Windows 7 will also be needed.
