Is Win7 just Vista SP2?

From: shegeek72 on 14 Jan 2010 01:24 I keep hearing this. However, I've read that Win7 is based on the MS Server 2008 code base and Vista on Server 2003. I've also read conflicting reports about the Win7 kernal. Some say it wasn't changed and others say it was changed in Win7. I have to admit Win7 looks and acts an awful like Vista.

Win 7 looks like Vista, but it runs more smoothly and efficiently. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_7

Any operating system that won't do what I want it to do and can't be set up as I want is of no use to me even if it is "smooth and efficient." I'm sticking with XP! Larc

Server 2003 was originally based on an updated version of the XP codebase. Windows Vista and Server 2008 share a common codebase, Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 share a codebase. Windows 7 is the next version of Windows, it's an evolutionary step forward from Vista, but likely won't replace a subsequent Vista service pack. Service packs and new OS releases are different things in the Windows world. >Some say it wasn't changed >and others say it was changed in Win7. I have to admit Win7 looks and >acts an awful like Vista. The kernel has changed, but Windows 7's kernel is fundamentally similar to Vista. The kernel also has absolutely nothing to do with how the OS looks, and very little to do with the UI experience. |
