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.'"

Another shameless public masturbation bought to you by Microsoft.

Since its both "quicker", AND "pre-beta", I think it's probably more like the premature ejaculation scene from American Pie. All the fanbois watching via their webcams, and ... OOPS! AW!!! UCK! Shit, dude, you are SUCH a LOSER!

jcr is responding reasonably despite being subjected to childish name calling

Thanks, Hucko.

I usually shrug off name-calling like that because it's more effective to put the troll's behavior into sharp contrast than to respond in kind. If they persist, they only make themselves look worse.

I'm a contributing member to slashdot,

Well, let's just get you a gold star, then!

unlike the person I'm heckling.

Wow, that would really hurt if I had any reason to value your judgement.

Like I said, I'm having a bad day, and I have karma to burn.

I'm having a great day, and I've had karma to burn since sometime in 1997.

I call out assholes who dont contribute

I'm sure everyone is highly impressed with your diligence. Gosh, how did /. ever get along before you showed up?

I must say though, that from a quick glance at ~Hadlock, I'm not too impressed.

Hi Twitter! Still following me around huh? that's kind of cute, in a weird stalkery sort of way. never had my own pet troll before. But if you are going to accuse someone of being a troll, you might actually want to read some of their posts first. Kinda keeps you from looking stupid, especially considering that I am a Windows repairman with nearly 15 years of working with MSFT products in SOHO, SMB, and home environments. Not too mention I have a grand total of zero FLOSS machines, as I formatted my Xandros laptop to XP to give to my youngest.

But don't worry Twitter i'm sure someone will post a pro MSFT article soon and you can go back to trolling with a dozen sockpuppets going "M$ Suxors,LOL!". Until then enjoy being my pet troll. I should warn you that you have to fight the dog for the tables scraps,though. Personally i got $20 on the dog.
