1. Comparison With Windows Vista
After the launch of Windows Vista a few years after XP, the company
said it would be the ideal replacement for Windows XP
But after its usage they found all kinds of issues with the software.
It was found out that Vista wasnt as robust or reliable as Windows XP.
It suffered from gaping security holes, weird design quirks, and other
issues.
 Continued
Watching these issues unfold, many enterprises decided to steer clear
of Windows Vista.
The most prudent move at that juncture was to stick with XP and wait
for the next best OS from Microsoft.
Luckily, that solution came along in 2009 in the form of Windows 7
 2.COMPARISON WITH Windows 7
The shutdown and the start up is very fast in Windows 7 while
compared to the Windows Xp.

There are not much graphical components present in the Windows XP

but Windows 7 provides good Graphical User Interface (GUI).

In windows 7 there is no necessity for the drivers to be installed but in

Windows XP it is necessary to install drivers.
 Continued
The Kernel of Windows 7 is very good when compared to the
Windows XP.
User defined themes can be implemented in Windows 7 but in
Windows XP themes cannot be created by the user
The Windows defender in Windows 7 provides maximum security to
the operating system but in Windows XP this feature is not available.
 3. COMPARISON WITH WINDOWS 8
Windows 8 supports new advancing technology such as USB 3.0, 4Kn

Advanced Format, near field communications, cloud computing, and the

low-power ARM architecture.

This is the first OS that allows ARM architecture support, with the

previous OS only supporting IA-32 and x86-64 architectures.

It offers built-in antivirus capabilities and advanced security features.
