Virtual environment, ensuring better backward compatibility. Additionally, the User Account Control (UAC) customization in Windows 7 meant that it was easier to run applications that required administrative privileges without encountering as many compatibility hurdles. Compatibility AspectDescriptionWindows XP ModeSupported older applications within a virtual environmentImproved UACEasier execution of applications requiring admin privileges System Requirements: The Hardware Barrier Windows Vista: Windows Vista had relatively high system requirements compared to its predecessors. The demanding Aero interface and other features required a powerful PC to function smoothly. This led to frustration for users with older hardware, as they often needed to upgrade their systems to run Vista effectively. System RequirementDescriptionHigh Hardware DemandsAero and other features necessitated powerful hardware Windows 7: Recognizing the hardware limitations faced by many users, Windows 7 was designed to be more forgiving. It had lower system requirements than Windows Vista, making it accessible to a broader range of computers. This was a welcome change for those who didn’t want to invest in new hardware. System RequirementDescriptionLower Hardware DemandsMore accessible to a broader range of computers Networking and Sharing: Enhanced Connectivity Windows Vista: Windows Vista introduced a feature called “Network and Sharing Center” to simplify the management of network connections. It allowed users to set up and configure networks more easily, making it a significant improvement over Windows XP. However, the early versions of Vista faced criticism for compatibility issues with some network devices and third-party firewalls. Networking and Sharing AspectDescriptionNetwork and Sharing CenterSimplified network setup and managementCompatibility IssuesProblems with some network devices and firewalls Windows 7: Building on the foundation laid by Vista, Windows 7 improved networking and sharing capabilities. HomeGroup was introduced, enabling easy file and printer sharing among computers on the same network. This feature simplified the sharing of resources, making it a more seamless experience for users. Windows 7 also addressed many of the compatibility issues with network devices and third-party software, resulting in a smoother networking experience.

You are using an out of date browser. It may not display this or other websites correctly.You should upgrade or use an alternative browser. Thanks yosef, just downloaded!Had a problem uninstalling Online Armor though, tried the 'uninstall or change a program' route but just got a box saying something about closing Online Armor then nothing. Couldn't reboot so had to do the 4sec power button shutdown. Rebooted and thankfully it uninstalled!!Couldn't get Comodo running initially as it said the firewall wasn't functioning properly? Found out I had done the 'MaxNumFilters' trick to try to get the previous version of Comodo firewall working but it just wouldn't work under 8.1 so uninstalled but forgot to delete the MaxNumFilters entry from the registry. After deleting that from the registry and uninstalling/re-installing Comodo it's now working :banana: For Windows8 the "signed" 3rd party firewalls do nothing but add a custom UI to control the Windows firewall. MS doesn't actually allow the Windows Firewall to be disabled in Windows8. Ghosty Ancient Guru Messages: 8,445 Likes Received: 1,468 GPU: I didn't know that. I have WIndow 8 firewall turned off. Checked the inbound and outbound rule set, and yes you are correct. The fact that you can't turn it off is a bit rubbish.EDIT* You can completely disable Windows Firewall by going to services and disabling it that way. Last edited: Sep 26, 2013 The user can disable it, but the security companies aren't permitted to do so themselves. The Windows Firewall has a ****load of configuration options available that aren't generally exposed to the user for security reasons. Instead, you have to use 3rd party applications to expose those options, which can be both good and bad as we all know. MS does allow 3rd party security software to provide additional features to work in conjunction with the Windows Firewall though. Ghosty Ancient Guru Messages: 8,445 Likes Received: 1,468 GPU: Is disabling Windows firewall a good idea. I like the idea of it not running, whilst I use a 3rd party one. But is it truly disabled via services? Once the service is stopped, it should be completely disabled. However, since 3rd party security firms are only supposed to be providing a UI with access to settings for the Windows Firewall, I don't know how you'd run a firewall once you stop the service. Ghosty Ancient Guru Messages: 8,445 Likes Received: 1,468 GPU: The firewall I am using is still showing new prompts for applications. So either the built in firewall isn't fully disabled or 3rd party firewalls can still operate independently. 3rd party firewalls works independently just like in windows 7. Yes Microsoft changed the way 3rd party firewalls can disable windows firewall
