Topic: Windows 7 Called Slower than Vista (iolo tests)

[Samker]

WHAT!!!! My Win7 WOOOORKIIING PERFECT. Faster then XP SP3, and Vista Ultimate.
Maybe new iolo software is crap. I cant belive.

In my opinion, there is a catch  :

Microsoft's new Windows 7 operating system boots slower than its unloved predecessor, Windows Vista, a PC tune-up developer said today.

Windows 7 does seem to start faster than Vista, said iolo, with its time-to-the-desktop measured as around 40 seconds. But iolo measured startup as the point where the computer is "fully usable," with a low load on the processor.

Generally newer version of anything run slower.  This has always been the Microsoft philosophy: release new software that runs slower on current computers thus forcing the consumer to buy a new computer to run the updated software which by the time he does the new software will already be outdated thus forcing another new pc purchase.  It's sort of a catch 22.  Personally I never get new versions of anything.  I always wait a good while so the bugs can be ironed out.

he utilizado el win vista y win 7 en el trabajo y de uso en  mi portatil y la verdad el w7 se lleva por lejos al win vista.

y la compatibilidad con software antigua es una de las mejoras sustanciales.
