All of the updates did improve it greatly, but I've still had several here that I compared with a fresh Vista (updated) vs 7.
7 was still faster, though we're talking 10% or so. In games there really wasn't any difference beyond load time. Vista load time was usually 50-100% longer. A good Vista machine has impressed me in the past, but that same machine upgraded to 7 was faster. ----- Original Message ----- From: Josh Luthman To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, March 20, 2015 1:51 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT: Win8 Essentials It upgraded to become 7.1 anyway.

I've only used it on my netbook before, but it's much smaller screen. What 'Must have's' Do I need to get it functional as a good desktop? I'm guessing some sort of start menu replacement. Or should I just wipe it and put Windows7 on it? Nate -- If you only see yourself as part of the team but you don't see your team as part of yourself you have already failed as part of the team.
