As far as preference for the latest operating system in the market today, a lot of people are caught in a bind on whether to install the new Windows Vista or stick it out with the patched Windows XP that has been around for some years now. Surely, many computer owners today want to check out the Vista series but apparently they are wary of having to deal with the problems that have cropped up from some existing users.

One thing you will note with the Window Vista OS is that not too many have gotten the hang of how to handle the problems such as improper installation and reverting to their old OS. Vista is not the same as previous operating systems that have been in the market. There are some other tweaks to make and looking for them online is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

I say this because people in forums are likewise looking for answers. Most of the things we read there are similar in nature…questions waiting to be answered. We see some suggestions but none of them are promising wanted results. In short, practically all Vista users are searching in the dark as well.

So with these points under consideration, would you take the risk of installing a Windows Vista despite lack of references in case something goes wrong? If you are not the kind that would immediately transfer your precious files to on the new system, then by all means go ahead. But if you want lesser headaches, wait for this software to stabilize before you make the big change!

Out of what little we know of the next version of Windows, this feature might just be the most interesting yet. A team at Microsoft is hiring developers to work on adding native support in Windows 7 for Virtual Hard Disks (VHD) - Microsoft’s semi-proprietary specification for single-file virtual machine hard disks. Their job posting reads,

Do you want to join the team that is bringing virtualization into the mainstream? In Windows 7, our team will be responsible for creating, mounting, performing I/O on, and dismounting VHDs (virtual hard disks) natively. Imagine being able to mount a VHD on any Windows machine, do some offline servicing and then boot from that same VHD. Or perhaps, taking an existing VHD you currently use within Virtual Server and boost performance by booting natively from it.

Do you want to have the opportunity to work on a great Core OS team at the heart of Windows? If you have big ideas and want to implement them, if you love writing code, if you love delving into operating system internals, if you want to work on high visibility projects with direct consumer and customer impact and still work in a very technical environment, then you will feel right at home in this team.

Virtualization technology has been a great success with Virtual Server and Hyper-V. With native OS support on the horizon it will become an even greater hit. Our team is making this a reality in Windows 7. Consider the simplicity of backup using a VHD, or the portability of a virtual disk backed by a single file. These are a few reasons why this technology is poised to be one of the greatest features in Windows 7–come help us achieve this goal.

Whilst “one of the great features in Windows 7″ might be a bit much, this is right up there with the new multi-line Calculator. No seriously, this has rather interesting implications for IT administrators and even home users.

For example, having an VHD dedicated to gaming with optimized system configurations is entirely feasible then. A dynamic VHD would mean it would only take up as much room as it needs, you could move the file on many system and have the same experience, but best of all, you can still enjoy the maximum native performance at the same time being able to load it as a virtual machine to maintain and configure without rebooting.

Considering how much we don’t know about Windows 7, this is extremely promising.

Update: A few people I’ve talked to have expressed their concern this may not make it to RTM and I think it’s a valid point at any time feature may be cut so I’ll just add that note for everyone else.

Update 2: Apparently the technology already exists in Windows 7 today, as indicated somewhat below.

The beauty about computers today is that you can have the luxury of choosing from various specifications that offer varying prices. For the people who have little knowledge on what these specs are for, they would end up buying the lower priced computers. Some are encouraged to buy the higher ones after careful explanation of differences but unless they are techies, chances are they will be fine with the usual Celeron or AMD chips with the right amount of storage and speed requirements.

Some people buy computers to help them in their various needs. This includes documents and spreadsheet preparations. But while others have other various intents on using a computer, it all boils down to knowing what type of specifications you would need as far as getting the ideal computer for you is concerned.

You will notice that these computer geeks would know which hardware to use. Higher end graphic cards and processors are normally advised to them beforehand. While they would want them, sometimes affordability stands in the way. With that in mind they look for alternatives and this includes trading some specs with compromised value which can eventually be replaced in the future once their budget allows them to.

The thing about limiting your computer hardware specs is that they will perform poorly. Nothing beats the performance of a higher based computer. You will notice that once you use your computer with limited specs, the headaches will start. Now if you are wise, buy the right computer at the right time to save yourself of these miseries.
