Will Windows 7 be able to match the success of windows XP?

I'm using windows 7 i'm sure it'll beat windows xp.

Hi

No doudt the win7 is much faster than XP

Much better problem solving step

driver issue is less ( Drivers built in pack )

I think we can wait for another 2-3 months to see the performace. We can't say that win7 is very good and it is now time to say good bye to XP. The value of XP since 10 year is very high which can not be compared with win7 with in one month of the Launch. We have to see all the feature and then we can compare with xp. As far as the security is concern I hope it is more secure than xp. But the main point we have to see is how USER FRIENDLY is Win7, thats the main point which people like.

Yes, Windows 7 is going great guns and can be happily migrated from XP. Vista users should jump to 7 and can find immediate relief ;)

I like it!

Me personally, is a regular user of Windows 7 and expect other people who are surrounded with the Xp myth

to just use it once. I most of the time use to pen different technical issues in toostep, and seriously observing the cool and highly sophisticated features of Windows 7. I hope in near future to write some article on Windows 7. I would never turn back to XP any more. I owe my gratitude to XP but 7 is far more better. I cannt explain people like them who are not willing to migrate but can expect to just take a trial foe 3 months hands on work with 7 and can bet you r not going back to your xp city any more.

Come on 7 city is glorious and citizenship is available.......

i think windows 7 is good to use microsoft is now got that vista was a failur so now they have given this windows7 which is working like XP and givinig vista look i like it its fast and supporting some of the softwares that vista dont support.....

and also it look like vista which very nice to see so i think this is good ine to use.........

os win 7 is easy to operate. And those who says that it is difficult , it is just because they are not used to it. win 7 is as easy as win xp. And m saying this because I've worked on both. In fact, win 7 has more advance features and I find it more user friendly.

I agree that win xp is very easy. But those who are saying that win 7 is difficult, are wrong. the only matter is that they are not used to it. In my opinion win 7 is very easy to operate. I've installed win xp and win 7 both. And I prefer using win 7. Because it's fast, simple and more secure.

Dear Friend, I think Windows 7 will be very successful as compared to Windows XP. You know what.., it includes all the advance and HD Audio Video and also faster then linux......the main thing in this is virtualization with Windows 7 to Windows 7 and with MS Windows Server 2008 R2. You can access your server from anywhere in the world by just single dedicated/live IP Address. The requirment of VPN is zero. Only thing you will have to get faster internet everywhere.

Cheers please give big hand for success for windows 7....that will be faster than success of Windows XP

I have installed and tested the RC of Windows 7.  It seems to be more responsive than Vista and certainly more appealing and feature rich that XP.  Also, it has compatibility mode for applications that need legacy operating systems and hence more useful for running software.  IMO, Windows 7 will not only be able to match the success of XP but also surpass it.

I think no one can win the race of an OS with only Eye candy ,proper ITIL must be there ,related to both sales & service ,although some hardware requirement analysis will make windows 7 failure ,cause it is not supporting some of the hardwares of Intel 845-865 series ,but  it is part of PDLC ,I support Windows 7...

It is human nature to resist changes but who wants to stay behind when Technologies stepping into new era (64 bit)?

When windows XP was launched people have some views over the OS. It took XP some service packs to get better to serve people's needs. It took some time for XP to grow up on people.

Windows Vista was launched in heist with lot of incomplete features, but it is also true that it has provided 64bit platform for coming OS.

Windows 7 is an outcome of the lessons learnt from Windows XP and Windows Vista. It may take some Service Packs to make it better.

Windows XP has done its job in 32bit era. Now it’s time to move forward to 64bit world that is waiting for lots of new Technologies. The time has come to bid farewell to our beloved OS Windows XP.

Whether one like it or not! He/she has to keep up with the coming Technologies.

every GUI has its own strengths and drawbacks. windows 98 had and was rectified to some extent with the launching of XP. Vista Home being absolutely a mediocre and learners' product I personally like working on Vista Business. As an engineer by profession I find Vista business can support high profile engineering softwares like STTAD or SAP or AutoCAD. Hope in Windows 7 they have improvised over Vista business even. A software is an intellectual product and outcome of extensive continuous research. I personally feel it should be better than Vista Business also. 

Windows 7 is futurisitic product. Its a move to replace or rather shadow the bugs on Vista OS. I think Microsoft did a good job on Windows 7.

Remember we are moving to 64 bit technology and windows 7 in inline with that. Also Microsoft is come up with Windows server 2008 which is again Awsome.

Vista is out of question..The performance and support strength for various product by XP is very important and need to check with Win'7.

Many of us have resolved issues with patch fixing in XP and installed most of products...

I think windows 7 will do better than XP. The trail version is used by one of my friends and he is pleased with the features and speed. Now,it's time to say bye to Vista

Definitely, Win'7 will capture the market

Windows 7 will be hit , it is going to be good fit for office use but will lack with games part.

It has not shown enough flexibity with Games

i do agree with u jayesh , definetly a new product always take a time to settle and make his set up trend..i also feel this OS will work up to level of expectation.

this software is good compared to xp.All the bugs and problems in the vista has been fixed. 

yes window 7 will match the windows xp because its grate innovation by a microsoft,,, i am sure about it it will dominate all the dextop ,,,,,,

Windows 7 has great user rich experience stories and a faster OS with self-controlled utilities. No doubt it can overrule XP market.. just as we have been doing it since Windows 3.0..!!

I believe YES, it can be a success over XP, but nobody knows we might have a better OS than this..!!! All eyes on Google..!!

Yes it has a mixed features of all that are found in XP and Vista and piracy checking has been kept to the highest. Therefore I think it will best for the Software industries. But it requires a high system requirements for its installation. That will be a drawback!!!!!!! and it can't be compared with XP which will lead overall..... but in appearance it is cool and we'll not feel bored to work in its environment.

Yes, if it is a user friendly……….

Coz many of us are only users to the computer but not the professionals who can play with the computer. Literate of computers and computer professionals both are totally different. For professionals they can even enjoy Vista but for users it’s really a much difficult. So the more concentration towards the user’s coz they are the more in percentage rather than professionals. If users really enjoying it then definitely this is the time to say bubye to XP.

i think yes

We all should agree to the fact  that for any product - it takes time to settle in the market followed by users publiicity , Given Microsoft's Windows 7 I think it will also need time - as what i have experienced is that it has a Vista Interface - which itself was quite confusing at times but one will get used to if one begins to use it wisely (as one learns Driving ) , but performace and reliablity wise windows 7 has an edge & will thrill the new generation users who can easily adapt to new technologies. 

Any new OS comes with latest features which were not in the previous versions. Windows 7 also posses many features which makes the works of the user very easy. I personally have worked on Windows 7 and have experienced its very safe, easy to work with, interesting and fun!!! It will definitely become as popular as Windows XP.

Prathana, if you go back to history, the Windows 95 was the most successful OS for end user. Windows 98, a variant of Windows 95 with inbuilt IE was liked by end users. Many other OS came in between but failed to catch the market share. And then, on same concept, Windows XP came, the success story even you know.

Windows Vista was not a great success for many reasons. Windows 7 is modified on the learning from Vista. So it is going to rock.. :-)

Any new OS will take a while to settle and know the features of being user friendlty. We people are so used to Windows XP that we don't look beyound most of the time.

The Windows 7 is far better and robust in terms of OS. It is user and application friendly. Initially people will face a little problem but later it will rock as Windows XP success.

I have seen one of friend using windows 7 and I feel its fast and user friendly. But not friendly as XP. So being a fast os it looks like Window 7 can bit up Window XP upto some extend.
