Is Windows XP comparable to Windows 7?
Functionally yes. Windows 7 was built upon the evolution of core system components that began with Windows NT and Windows 2000, just as XP was. However, XP is several generations behind, as you can see in this timeline: Windows 5.0 = Windows 2000 Windows 5.1 = Windows XP Windows 6.0 = Windows Vista Windows 6.1 = Windows 7 Windows XP uses the old GDI graphics subsystem, which is the leading cause of crashes. Because this old system does not make use of the dedicated Graphics Card, it also uses more memory and CPU cycles, making XP perform slower than newer versions. From a usability perspective, the systems are nearly identical. Windows 7 has a few new features, but they are not required to use the system.
Why some software cannot function in Windows 7 compared to windows XP?
My guess would be the software was created before Windows 7, so it was never given the compatibility to run on the newer system
