    What runs better on an old laptop? Windows 7 or Windows Vista?


    I have this old Windows Xp era laptop and have Windows 7 installed but its really slow, so I was wondering if Windows Vista being older runs faster than 7.

    Windows 7 vs XP vs Vista

    I think windows 7 is what vista SHOULD have been, still waiting for windows 7

    it seems that alot of the suggestions people gave in longhorn were implemented in windows 7 instead of vista, wth

    Windows 7 or vista..?

    You should mention the Vista crapiness compared to 7 even after Vista's had two service pack releases.

    Also, if your buying a laptop with Vista on it you can get a free Win 7 upgrade through MS. I've even noticed some places discounting Vista systems just to get rid of them.

    After Vista Beta 2, they went full on Windows 7.

    The reason it's a lot more stable than Vista was at this stage in development is because Windows Vista was made from scratch. Windows 7 is built off of Windows Vista. Windows 7 is what Vista was supposed to be, but it was rushed out for the interm release.
