(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.

Please +REP and Nominate if this was helpfull.

lol, use 4gb RAM on vista, then try on W7, you'll see the difference

Windows Seven takes less hard drive space and less power to run, so it is completely acceptable that it takes less then half a minute longer to start. But I personally have noticed huge differences between my Windows Vista and the Windows Seven RC.

When does Windows 7 come out because when I bought this laptop a month ago it said it was going to come with windows 7 when it releases

Windows 7 isn't slower then vista.

Agreed, the cold boot of Vista (no software) is faster than 7. 7 however has got a quicker boot up time than Vista with software installed. So it's more practical to look at a computer with software installed.

Just installed 7 last night and love it. I first had XP, then switched to Vista, then back to XP, and now im with 7; I would say 7 is the best out of all those three. I actually think its alot faster than Vista.

Linux or XP FTW. Although i love my XP, i will be upgrading to Windows 7. I mean i cant use XP forever and its time to upgrade and use something newer.

I have windows 7 ultimate and I can say for a fact its waaaaaaaaaaay better then vista and xp. Its alot faster and better looking plus its new its an upgrade. BTW dont just upgrade when you install wipe your harddrive and boot from disk to install its so fukking fast.

I too have noticed the improvements
