 INTRODUCTION

Windows 7 (codenamed Vienna, formerly Blackcomb) is a personal

computer operating system developed by Microsoft.

Windows 7 was released to manufacturing on July 22, 2009, and

became generally available on October 22, 2009, less than three years
after the release of its predecessor, Windows Vista.

Windows 7 was primarily intended to be an incremental upgrade to the

operating system intending to address Windows Vistas poor critical
reception while maintaining hardware and software compatibility.
 HISTORY
In July 2007, six months following the public release of
Vista, it was reported that the next version of Windows
would then be codenamed Windows 7, with plans for a
final release within three years.
. Speaking about Windows 7 on October 16, 2008,
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer confirmed compatibility
between Windows Vista and Windows 7, indicating that
Windows 7 would be a refined version of Windows
Vista.
Microsoft released Windows 7 to MSDN and TechNet
subscribers on August 6, 2009, at 10:00 am PDT

 Both operating system now occupy
a distinctly different part of the
market.
Linux is completely open, out of the

can be the only way to run older
hardware at its fullest potential,
especially if there isnt a new driver
for windows 7.
Windows 7 enables faster transfer
of large files whereas Linux
supports smaller installation size.
 CONCLUSION
Windows 7 was primarily intended to be an
incremental upgrade to the operating system,
intending to address Windows Vistas poor critical
reception while maintain hardware and software
compatibility.
