Study: Windows 7 doesn't boot faster
,----[ Quote ]
| Although Windows 7 has been praised for loading and
| shutting down faster than prior versions of Windows,
| one software company says that, in many cases, the
| new operating system can take longer to get started
| than Windows Vista.
|
| Iolo Technologies, which sells PC tune-up software,
| said its lab unit found that a brand-new machine
| running Windows 7 takes a minute and 34 seconds to
| become usable, as compared to a minute and six
| seconds for Windows Vista. Iolo notes that it
| measured not the time it takes for the desktop to
| appear â which can be as little as 40 seconds on a
| fresh installation of Windows 7 â but rather the time
| it takes to become fully usable "with CPU cycles no
| longer significantly high and a true idle state
| achieved".

Windows 7: R.I.P.
,----[ Quote ]
| Death throes. Thatâs how Iâd describe the latest barrage of white papers from
| Microsoft. The companyâs flagship, Windows Vista, is thrashing around in the
| shallows like a wounded animal, fighting in vain to escape the inevitable.
|
| [...]
|
| Now we learn that thereâs no point in waiting for Windows 7 because,
| according to Microsoft, âitâll be just like Vista.â
|
| Talk about eating your young! Microsoft is now publicly trashing their next
| version in order to salvage their current dud. Never mind that theyâre
| killing the very positive mystique surrounding Windows 7. Company executives
| are hell bent on proving that the Vista âRefuseniksâ were wrong, and theyâre
| not above using force to achieve their goal.
|
| Thatâs right, hidden within their latest propaganda piece is the not so
| veiled threat that customers who bypass Vista risk widening the very
| compatibility chasm that dissuaded them in the first place. Thatâs because
| Microsoft has no intention of making it any easier for customers to upgrade
| to Windows 7 from XP than it is for them to upgrade from XP to Vista today.
