  Why XP owners won't love Windows 7
Time: 23:59 EST/04:59 GMT | News Source: ComputerWorld | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

Microsoft is betting that Windows 7 will succeed where Windows Vista failed. But there's one group of people who most likely won't like Windows 7 any more than they do Windows Vista --- Windows XP users. Here's why.

One of the biggest complaints that XP users had with Windows Vista was its hardware incompatibilities. Older printers, scanners, network cards, and other peripherals simply didn't work with Vista. Here's the bad news: They won't work in Windows 7, either, because Windows 7 uses the same driver model as Windows Vista. So XP users will be out of luck.

this is in no way correct. if you have the drivers for a old device simply install it, vista will tell you that the driver did not pass, blah, blah, blah... simply tell it to install and it will work. i have an old rig more than 5 years old and vista worked and now i am working with windows 7.

Typical Computerworld FUD... People that are installing the Win7 beta are finding BETTER driver compatibility than Vista - of course, this is only because the manufacturers have caught up with the "new" (now 3 year old) driver model.

Ya know, I tried Win 7 and I like Vista better.

Believe it or not all UI changes slow down a regular user of an OS. I'm not sure the benefits of Win7 will get me to "upgrade" from Vista.

I usually find that after using UI changes for a week or so, you get pretty accustomed to them. For example, I have both Office 2003 and Office 2007 installed on my work laptop and instinctively gravitate to the newer version. Access 2007 took a little longer because more than just the tool bar changed, but I nevertheless use it almost exclusively.

#3, Oldog, I was definately of the same opinion initially.... and like it seems for you, it was more than just familiarity with one UI over another. I looked a good bit deeper and started to find a lot to like about the new OS and then unlike any new OS, 7 started to creep up on me and I found myself missing its features and many of its new UI elements. It was kind of weird, actually - as no OS had quite done that before. I am a big one about muscle memory - so it was especially odd to find myself wanting to run the new OS vice Vista - which for me, has been really nice.

Now that said, I agree with TL when he says that any owner of Vista deserves a free upgrade to Windows 7. There, I said it. I really believe that despite Vista's value, the changes and costs users paid for, qualify them for this no-cost upgrade. While I know it was pretty easy to deliver great Vista experiences, I also know a great many OEM's didn't. Ultimately, that was MS's fight to win - their responsibility to influence the OEM's and have them ship solid builds at all price points. The OEM's chose not to. Even if MS had to cut prices to them to help keep the junk off of the PC's shipping, it would have been worth it, I think.
