(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The newly launched operating system of Microsoft, the Windows 7 has been reported to be slower than Windows Vista by as much as 42 percent. A Los Angeles based PC software company called iolo has made a report that the system takes One minute and 34 seconds to boot against one minute and six seconds by Vista.




The report was released after carrying a series of tests by iolo. The catch here is the startup point. Iolo has taken the start up point as the point when the PC becomes fully usable. Whereas Microsoft has claimed that the Windows 7 is faster than Vista with its time to the desktop.

Microsoft has also claimed that the system is faster while getting out of hibernation and sleep. A number of other tests have also agreed on to the claims made by iolo. PC World and Computerworld have reported the Windows 7 to be slower than Windows Vista by 10 to 14 percent. Iolo has reported that the delay could be the large number of applications that load with the Windows 7 box. Time will tell which system will emerge the winner.

Microsoft fails again. :p

yeah man i know

Well guess I won't be upgrading to windows 7

That's completely misleading. Overall, the performance of W7 is much better than Vista.

i totally agree.

No windows 7 is faster than vista. But it very much depends on what programs you are running. For example., Photoshop takes longer to open in W7 then in Vista.

yeah microsoft is like overloaded becuase they got to deal about xbox computers programs it fails on 7

Windows 7 is a lot better than Vista.

Oh boohoo, it takes 28 seconds longer to boot up.

I am beta testing Windows 7 and has a lot less crap that Vista had. 7 is basically more eye candy and stripped all the crap that made Vista slow. Test it for yourself, then check reviews.
