Win7之家（ www.win7china.com）：低配置也能运行Win7，微软会这么做么？

 现在不少人都在想，到底Windows 7能不能运行在旧机器上？考虑到微软和其硬件合作伙伴之间的关系以及其一直想法设法说服消费者购买新机器的态度，这将会是个很有趣的问题。

从最近的Windows 7 pre-beta和Beta看来，Windows 7确实能够在处理器不够强劲、内存比推荐内存还小的旧机器上运行，甚至于在Netbook上也能用。

不过，我想微软及其合作伙伴恐怕不大愿意看到用户在旧机器上运行Windows 7。他们想要用户去购买新机器。也就是说，即使Windows 7能够支持老版XDDM驱动模型，我也在怀疑他们到底会不会这么做。

另外，我对微软是否会提供XP→Windows 7的升级也很感兴趣，不知他们会同时提供XP→Windows 7和Vista→Windows 7还是只提供Vista→Windows 7。而考虑到目前的市场份额，XP很有可能是Windows 7的最大竞争对手。

如果Windows 7能够在低配置旧机器上流畅运行，你会选择就这么将就用着还是换新机器呢？

小编：一点个人意见，考虑到Vista不佳的市场反应，我想微软不大可能会冒天下之大不韪，仅仅为了合作伙伴的利益而不顾市场反应。

There are a few bloggers wondering aloud about how well Windows 7 ultimately is going to run on older hardware. That’s an interesting question, given Microsoft’s symbiotic relationship with its hardware partners who constantly are in search of new ways to convince users to buy pricier PCs.

From early accounts by those using Windows 7 pre-beta and beta releases, Windows 7 is running pretty nicely on older machines with less powerful processors and less-than-optimal memory. In fact, as has been noted over the past few months, Windows 7 runs well on netbooks that haven’t been able to accommodate Vista.
