In developing the operating system Windows Vista, Microsoft has added to it a lot of functions and the various possibilities, which did not have Windows XP, but not limited to diligently improving safety. A side effect of this was the voracity and the awkwardness of Windows Vista compared with Windows XP. As a result, until October this year on netbooks established exclusively by Windows XP. In Windows 7 was added even more new features, but this time to create the operating system was adopted more rigorous approach, which helped, in particular, the mass public testing. Compared to its predecessor Windows 7 as Vista is considerably inferior in terms of memory load, and for placement on the disk, as well as on many critical parameters, ie, load time, etc., approaching the characteristics of Windows XP.

However, the new brainchild of Microsoft still does not reach operating eight years ago from a pair of critical exponents. According to the results of numerous tests, one of the biggest disappointments in Windows 7 is the duration of the netbooks. The source reports that the results not even close; Windows 7 is spending much more energy and significantly reduces battery life netbook. Compared with gray veteran XP, netbook under Windows 7 on average running on battery in 47 minutes less. In some models, such as the ASUS 1008HA, the difference was almost an hour (57 minutes), battery life decreased by approximately 16% (about 1 / 6).Testing in other laboratories showed almost the same results.

If you think positively, compared with Windows Vista the new Windows 7 markedly better, as its predecessor, in principle, could not work on most netbooks. Microsoft, however, the work can be called a rough and disappointing, because the manufacturer has not yet been able to create an operating system that will surpass all product parameters, established ten years earlier.
