My parents have been using XP for a while now. They felt weird when i installed the new MS Office which had a new look (mainly just unnecessary glitter, even i didn’t like it) but they got used to it i guess.
They just use IE and solitaire. but even these take a hell of a long time to load and get stuck often. The computer takes at least 2 minutes to start up and another few minutes for the antivirus and other addons to load. Even the browser takes a long time to open new tabs, etc.
I cant watch them go on like this. I have a mac so i cant really judge and they are comfortable with XP. So is windows 7 that much faster or better than XP or will it become just as slow as XP after using it for a while.
Computer specs: core2duo 2. something, 2gb ram, mid level graphics card.
and also should they go 32 or 64bit ?
isnt their computer fast enough for 7 ? they mainly browse the web.
its 2.4 GHz i think. should they upgrade their ram or something ?
ideally we would all live in the matrix
