Windows operating system has improved a lot compared to the earlier versions, but there is always room for tweaking because the code is after all written by human beings. Performance improvement is what every computer user is looking for and whenever there is a chance to improve performance, you should not miss it. With windows 7 computers, it is always possible to tune performance and remove features that you no longer theme.

The most controversial aspect of the windows 7 operating system is the aero theme. The newest operating system from Microsoft was developed to deal with the errors of the previous versions like Vista. While windows 7 provides numerous security features and upgrades, the aero theme is still questionable because it is resource hungry.

Everyone wants the operating system to be clean, neat and efficient. The aero theme used in windows 7 is merely for visual appearance and the theme actually helps in nothing more specific. Rather than using a desktop that is too familiar, windows 7 provides a new twist to the desktop. The truth is, if you are using windows 7 after trying windows XP for a long time, you will be pretty happy and pleased with the aero theme. However, after a few hours of usage, you will realize that performance is more important.

Disabling aero theme can considerably result in performance improvement because it frees resources. On desktop, right click to open Personalize and go to Window color tab. Choose Open classic appearance properties for more color options and select Basic theme. You should also change the appearance settings to completely get rid of aero theme.
