32-bit vs. 64-bit
Ribbon
Introduced in Office 2007, it is clear that Microsoft will continue to push the Ribbon interface over the more familiar drop-down menu and toolbar approach to using programs. If you want to get a taste of the Ribbon, start up Microsoft Paint or WordPad on a computer running Windows 7 and you can see for yourself whether the Ribbon is going to be useful or just another technology forced upon you.
Aero Desktop
No e-mail Client

1. The major difference between Windows XP & Windows 7 is sharing security. in Windows XP while sharing a file or folder there is no security option, but in Windows 7 security option is there we can restrict unwanted users to access the file or folder.

2. In Windows XP there is an inbuilt in email client called outlook express, but in Windows 7 Microsoft removed that build in email client, you need to install separate clients like Microsoft outlook or Thunderbird.. etc
