Some of the Day”s ago Windows launched Windows 7 and Apple launched Mac OS X Snow Leopard. Both are launched with New Features and Brand New Designs.The Windows 7 uses most of the Features and looks of Vista with fast responses but Snow Leopard have a completely New Design and look from older versions. Let’s have a look at both of the Operating Systems in deep :-

Startup, Shutdown and Sleep

Windows 7 has somewhat Vista’s looks with sub-30-second start up times, and RC1 is even faster. Shutdowns and Start ups are quicker too. But there are problems with sleep in the beta release, but it still seemed better than Vista, if not faster. Apple doesn’t pimp a specific improvement in start up time, but promises double-time wake ups and 1.75x faster shutdowns than Leopard.

Multicore Parallel Processing Power

Some of the changes that Microsoft made to the core of Windows 7 are to improve parallel processing—in short, using multiple cores to handle more simultaneous tasks than previous versions of Windows. But these multicore-optimizing tweaks don’t seem as extensive as Apple’s parallel processing plans in Snow Leopard, headlined by what it calls Grand Central Dispatch which makes its speed faster than Windows 7.

Safari In Windows 7

Internet Explorer 8 is the best browser Microsoft has ever inbuilt-ed in Windows versions , but when you consider it needs a compatibility list for all the sites coded for Internet Explorer’s past shiftiness, the real modern web standards support in Safari 4 gives this one to Safari without even considering the other features. It’s also wildly better than IE8 at handling JavaScript, which is pretty faster and key in the age of web apps.

Networking View

Networking is quite better in Windows 7 than it was in Windows Vista—you can actually get to wireless networking with fewer than seventeen clicks, and the networking UI makes more compatible . It also seems to be a little smarter at searching stuffs on your network.

Apple’s not really promoting any changes to networking in Snow Leopard beyond the metric that it’s 1.55 times faster at joining networks than Leopard it’s got more efficient file-sharing. You could argue networking in Leopard didn’t need to be reworked—it was definitely better than Vista’s—but really, networking is one of those things that’s still not easy to understand for regular people in either OS.

Media Playing

Windows Media Player will handle pretty much any kind of mainstream video or audio format you run on it, be it H.264, Divx, Xvid or AAC. And it has a few pretty great tricks, like “Play To,” that’ll command any compatible device on your network and stream stuffs to it by way of the newest DLNA standard. 

Apple doesn’t get too specific on whether or not QuickTime X can now handle a broader range of formats with its brand new logo, just that it’ll play “the latest modern media formats” like H.264 and AAC even more bettered. It’s also got a pretty classy new UI and supports graphics-accelerated playback . But may be the best new feature is built-in video recording and trimming.

Backgrounds and Skins

Windows 7″s Acid-Trip Backgrounds are really Incredible ? What’s Snow Leopard got? Some stupid purple star thing. Apple background designers needs more drugs, plz.But no other Operating System can displace Windows 7 from visual themes and skins.
