Which is better Windows 7 or windows 8?

 As human life is subjected to change from generation to generation, changes in sophisticated technologies are usual. Microsoft, the biggest software company, has released its latest version of operating system called Windows 8.It is the only operating system which is compactable for  computers, mobile phones and tablet computers. Some people say that windows8 is the best for tablets and mobile phones however others oppose it. The following paragraphs discuss about the pros and cons of windows8 and comparison between windows 8 and its former.

Firstly, increased performance is one of the best advantages of windows 8.As the new operating system uses less graphics compared to windows7, the overall performance of the system automatically improves which results in handling multiple applications at once. For instance, a user can listen to music, scan for viruses, surf internet and download from internet simultaneously without any time delay. This was possible in windows 7 too but with so ease in the latter. If a person is a sophisticated user handling with complex applications, windows8 can make many differences for them as it does not have transparent display which is included in windows 7. So while considering performance of system, windows8 is better than windows 7.

Another advantage of windows 8 is its new user interface. Apart from win 98/XP/vista/seven, windows have launched a new user interface. When a user clicks on start button, all installed applications come by thumbnails on monitor which helps in increasing the ease to select the desired applications. For example, weather forecast can be easily seen by selecting weather application on windows 8.Thus the new operating system has improved the easiness of handling a computer system.

Windows8 support multi touch screen and receive voice input. Moreover it consumes less booting time compared to windows7. It requires a minimum of 1 GHz processor to be installed. The performance varies according to RAM, processor and graphics card. It is said that if your computer can run windows 7, then it can also run windows 8. 32 bit version of windows 8 requires at least 1GB of RAM while 64 bit needs 2GB for installation and smooth working. So, technically windows 8 require less space and specifications while equating with windows7.

However, there are some drawbacks in windows 8 operating system such as the difficulty to use horizontal scroll bar for mouse users. As this operating system is mainly designed for top end monitors, the default monitor size is higher than usual which creates the user to scroll horizontally to view full screen. When the user is using a conventional mouse as pointing device, the scroller is mainly used for vertical scrolling. To scroll horizontally, it should be clicked in horizontal scroll bar and moved. Moreover, people who were used to the older windows operating system may feel discomfort to use new user interface as it is totally unknown for them especially for people who are aged. Besides this, some functions like restart the computer, start an application are only available on tablet interface which make inconvenience to other platform users.

Overall, windows8 is one of the best operating systems for tablets and mobile phones. But there are some inconveniences in normal computer platform. But let us hope that the providers will rectify all the bugs after some updates so that future generations can access computer with much quality.
