Windows 7 VS Windows Vista

Windows has come up with many different opperating systems such as Windows XP, Windows Vista, and their newest one Windows 7. Now everyone of these opperating systems had new features. With Window’s latest opperating system, there are many new features. The one that stands out the most is how much bit space they have. See all of the operating systems before Windows 7 had 32 bits in the computer. Now a 32 bits are equal to about 4.3 GB. So this means that you can make a document that takes up the space of  4.3 GB, nothing more. Now with Windows 7 you have 64 bits. This means that you can have a file that is 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 GB file. This is a really big file you could fit about 10 High Defention Movies in this space.

Figureing this out was not so easy for me. Now first you need to understand what a bit is. A bit is  a binary digit. Have you ever heard of the binary system, well that is how I figured out this problem. First you need to now that there are only two numbers in the binary system, 1 & 0. Next you need to find the largest number that you can make in the binary system. So since there are 32 bits, that means that the largest number would be 11111111111111111111111111111111. Now when you convert that into the decimal system, you should get 4,294,967,295. Then you need to convert that into GB or gigabytes. After you do that your final answer should be 4.294967295 GB. I rounded that to 4.3 GB. Once you figured that out you should see that you should be able to do the same thing with 64 bits which is what Windows 7 has. After all of the math you should come up with about 9.2 Quillion. This will be converted into billion becuase that is what GB are. After converting your final answer should be 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 GB. See, Windows 7 is a lot better.
