Q&A: Windows 7 vs Windows XP Home On Netbooks
iobuffa

In this video, I answer a question from phillymaniac14 who wants to know my thoughts on Windows XP performance versus Windows 7 performance on my netbooks.

I own an HP Mini 1000 while my wife owns a HP Mini Vivienne Tam edition

Both of these are equipped with 2GB of RAM, but my wife still has Windows XP Home and I have Windows 7 Beta

My tests are hardly scientific but I've found that the extra memory definitely helps Windows 7 performance with full screen flash videos

As it stands, Windows 7 and Windows XP full screen flash video performance seem to be identical

With lessar RAM, Windows XP performed better

There are many factors to consider when comparing OS's especially with a beta OS such as Windows 7

There's also Flash software, browser versions and compatibility issues that may need to be adjusted on Windows 7

A very early test, but it was interesting to note

I hope this answers your question phillymaniac14

If you have any other questions you'd like me to attempt to entertain, email me at help@bwana.tv
