9 details to see the difference XP/Vista/Win7 function comparison

At the beginning of this year, Microsoft introduced the Windows 7 Beta1 (Figure 1) version, and I also installed and tried it in the first place. Some netizens said that there is not much difference between Windows Vista and other users. Some users think that Windows 7 system is very disappointing. However, the author believes that as a Microsoft operating system for the future, the details and functional improvements are still very obvious. Only through comparison can we really let everyone see the difference. I used Windows XP SP3, Windows Vista SP1, and Windows 7 beta1 versions to compare the additional features and components of the three systems to see if the difference exists. The former will still occupy more than half of the country in the next few years, or the latter will be expected to come up later and “unify the world”.

Windows XP (Figure 2) installation process I believe that everyone is very clear, use the CD to start or call the startup file, check the hardware environment and prompt whether to agree to the installation agreement, then select the corresponding drive letter, prompt whether to format, then copy System files, and start the installation after reboot, and after the installation, will restart again, and enter the desktop, start personal settings, such as entering a user name, password, select the network environment. If you choose a custom installation, you need about 5 to 10 steps to choose. Automated installation is possible with some DIY versions.

After that, the user is prompted to confirm the license and select the partition. At this time, the file is automatically copied, but the installation will be completed automatically when copying. After the end of the step, the system will automatically re-enter and enter the system, but the entire installation process only needs to be restarted once. After the installation, the user is also prompted to enter account information and set the time and network environment. Once the setup is complete, you can easily access the system.
