Performance Tests Show Early Windows 7 Build Beats Vista
The Other A.N. Other writes "How does the latest build of Windows 7 stack up against Windows Vista? The answer seems to be very well if the benchmarks run by ZDNet are anything to go by. If Microsoft keeps up the good then Windows 7 should be head and shoulders better than Vista. 'What we have here is one set of data points for one particular system, but I think that the results are very promising. The fact that Windows 7 comes out on top in three out of four of these tests at this early stage is very promising indeed. The boot time and PCMark Vantage results are particularly good.'"
Microsoft still has plenty of time to slow it down.
Let's all give MS a pat on the back for clearing such a low bar.

NT4 is faster than vista.
So there.

First Post! But I posted it with Vista, so it may actually show up a bit later.

Could this be the version of Windows that will finally get me to switch? Stay tuned!

By the time they release it, they'll have fixed this bug.
Great Intellect...
It will be about as difficult for Windows 7 to be a better OS than Vista as it is for Obama to be a better president than Bush!
I've abandoned my search for truth; now I'm just looking for some useful delusions.
Things are improving. Or at least, the rate at which they're going to hell is decreasing.

This were actually another Mojave experiment prank, played on ZDnet?
Mod me down with all of your hatred and your journey towards the dark side will be complete!
People still defragment hard drives? NTFS isn't resistant to fragmentation?
The real "Libtards" are the Libertarians!
Well, this definitely sounds like it happened.
Why did you read the entire post before replying? Crazy talk!

Don't ever dare compare the OS X operating system to windows or even Linux with WINE in terms of gaming ever again.
I'm curious.. Do you actually expect people to comply when you issue a demand like this?

His fucked what?
Is that big-ass taskbar a feature? How will that huge horse's ass look on a netbook?
This is great! I love my DRM to be nice and speedy!
Microsoft is the only company I know that can get its customers to pay for a downgrade.
Don't bother flaming me for telling you this. If you can't see what I do by now, you will be one of the nine or ten percent of users that...
post on Slashdot and aren't Twitter sock puppets?
His fucked what?
Your sister!
Horns are really just a broken halo.
That is why I am so thankful that I still have ten XP licenses from a MSDN subscription I bought back in 2003. The first thing I do when I get a new computer or laptop for personal use is reload it with XP.
Wow, way to violate the license agreement. MSDN isn't a free-for-all way to get bulk licenses for personal use. The software is licensed solely for software development and test purposes. More info at the MSDN Subscription FAQ.
We can start spreading the word to wait for Windows 8

God I hope they bring the paperclip thing back :-)

True. ME sucked. Vista blows.
Slow down, cowboy! It has been 4 hours since you last posted. You must wait another few hours.
Well if we compare a very slow dinosaur against the speed of an elephant the elephant is FASTER. This does not mean that the ELEPHANT is fast only faster as the big, slow and waiting for extinction dinosaur. (hey I being nice with vista)
