The 10 Most Common Windows 7 Bugs and Fixes

I've been working a lot these days with my brand new computer which has the Windows 7 OS installed. It looks almost the same as Windows Vista with the difference that many of the bugs on this last version have been solved, or at least that's what Microsoft guys say. But, there are still problems around. I mean, last night, I was in the middle of writing something when some Error message pop up. I was surprised about it and I began to search what the most common Windows 7 bugs and fixes were.

One thing that called my attention is that some say that Windows 7 is based on Windows XP as it was the last estable version of Microsoft Windows OS and with just the visual environment of Windows Vista. I'm not pretty sure if that's true but it make sort of sense. I mean, we all love Windows XP, you can install anything you want. In fact, I keep Windows XP in most of my computers. But it's also true that it's been 10 years since Microsoft launched Windows XP and computers these days are way more powerful and so we need better operating systems.

Windows 7 had thousand of beta testers that were familiarized with Windows Vista. Thanks to that Microsoft was able to solve thousands of bugs and made the launchment of Windows 7 a reality.
