No real advantages to users not tightly integrated with Google services. Slows down when using more tabs. Basically pointless OS without internet connection.

Windows 7 revamped the entire user interface to become more simple and efficient. From an administer's point of view as well as a user's, this is the best OS from Microsoft since XP and for both home and business it is great.

I used to use Windows, mainly because of it's low cost, but now I use Mac since it's so much less buggy and a lot faster. Windows regularly crashed and messed up stuff I had installed.
