Going from windows XP to Vista was a painful experience. Not only were these some issues with Vista at first, the hardware requirements were ridiculous. Even if you met the specifications to run Vista, the system was extremely slow and sluggish. windows 7 finally offers an experience where one can upgrade and not feel slighted. This new operating system does not leave feeling they have a slower computer.
Much of the time in the computing world everyone feels that the machine must have more power year after year. Realistically this is pointless just like buying a car that 150 miles an hours is since you can't really drive that fast demands more from the user's hardware isn't the best options. Eventually the hardware statistics to run an operating system would have been outrageous if windows 7 was as big of a jump as vista.
On many machines windows 7 is only taking up somewhere around 550 to 750 megabytes of ram which is a considerable improvement. On most machines with at least 2 gigabytes, this leaves plenty of space for other processes and applications. for the most part these applications are fairly similar to what they were six years ago so it's senseless to have three or four times the computer power just to run the same things.
