What is annoying for Vista users are the icons present in the bottom right corner of the screen that feel the need to inform the user of any new installation update or that the antivirus has been updated for the umpteenth time during the day or any other information that the user might just feel bothered reading about after listening to a “bubble pop” sound, a distraction on its own. Windows 7 users however, have the authority to change the icons as they please as well as change any notification settings that previously distracted them. Therefore a new taskbar makes life easy and less distracting for a Windows 7 user.
Speed is an added benefit with Windows 7. The slow application installation on the Vista is in the past now. Windows 7 gives the user a true experience of an operating system of the present. In addition to speed, Windows 7 users have the facility of watching Internet television.
