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.

    Curiously, they do expect people to do as they say. I've seen a lot of these demands. Whey I did not comply, they modbombed me to oblivion.

    Ultimately they want Slashdot and free software to just go away, so they can get back to their little Windows monopoly and great big piles of coke. The goal of the Slog is for M$ to remain the "center of the computing world." This has obviously failed.

    That's right you stupid fucking piece of shit.

      Spewing childish insults is hardly a convincing technical argument.

    The OS X kernel remains a complete joke.

    Is that what your friends on the playground are telling you?
    Maybe someday you might grow up and acquire the technical skills to judge it for yourself.

    What? I'm offended you think I'm someone else. Just look at my post history to see I'm a contributing member to slashdot, unlike the person I'm heckling. I'm having a bad day at work and calling him out on not contributing to the thread by making accusations and not contributing anything to the thread. Simply pointing out a single fallacy in someones argument like he didand then not following it up with any meaningful discourse is a waste of everyone's time. Why did I post something equally wasteful and without fleshing it out? Like I said, I'm having a bad day, and I have karma to burn. If you have a paid account you can look at my post history and see I call out assholes who dont contribute to the disccusion on a semi-regular basis.

    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.
