From Windows XP to Windows 7

Salam to all my readers.

Just to share my experience when I’m upgrading my operation system from Windows XP to Windows 7. After I have done my homework, studying the pros and cons of Win7 from the internet, I decided to upgrade because it feels like Win7 has many cool feature.

Since I don’t use Windows Vista at all, there’s a slight confusion when I’m browsing here and there. Anyway, I don’t want to explain about the advantage. You can read about it here. What I want to share is the cons or disadvantages especially on the driver support.

This is a common issues among hardware manufacturer. Win7 does not support two of my hardwares which is Aztech Wifi PCI card and Happauge TV Tuner card. Its a bit frustation because without Wifi, its hard for me to connect to the internet from my PC. Anyway, I have the solution by bridging the connection with my Laptop Wifi.

About the TV card, I don’t think Happauge will release a driver for Win7 because its an old hardware.

So far, I’m satisfied with the overall performance of Windows 7. It just a matter of time because I believe, computer programmers and software developers are moving towards Windows 7 compatibility.

P/S – love the fast startup, less than 45 seconds!
