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.'"
This test will pitch Windows 7 build 6956 32-bit against Windows Vista RTM 32-bit and Windows Vista SP1 32-bit.
...and this proves what exactly? That tan turds will slide out your ass quicker than brown turds will?
Another shameless public masturbation bought to you by Microsoft.
WASTE OF BITS AND GAY NIGGERS from
comparing to that dog OS X.
Vista runs exactly the same as XP with the exception of the desktop being quite a bit smoother with Aero turned on. Games run with a frame or two per second between Vista and XP.
Can't really say how it compares to OS X since no one but Blizzard puts out games for the overpriced niche platform Apple for some reason still bothers to make.
How goes those fixes for the laughably poor performing Mach message queues in the shitty OS X kernel.
Guess Apple has just giving up trying to make OS X competitive with Linux and Windows kernel.

I am shocked that the primary Slashdot Mac Troll pretends ignorance of the well known and laughably bad OS X performance compared to Linux and Windows...
Those are minimal speedups! Have a look at the graphs, don't waste time on the text of the article, and see for yourselves.
I am quite shocked that people give props to MS for... basically NOTHING.
"The agriculture ministry is not in charge of Gundam" - Japanese ministry official.
And Apple has done nothing to bring OS X up to the same performance level as Linux and Windows since then. They tried to ignore the problem, then deny it, then downplay it, and they ended up just pretending it doesn't exist.
"I had a problem like this once..."
me too, it was called windows.
Shill, again.
It is the SAME, extended code base.
NONE of the Cr.. has been re-witten, it si easy to pay for puff, but, at last, after many fired CIOs enterprises test.
Work on better chairs!
Go ahead and link to follow up independent performance tests that show Apple was able to fix the absurd performance problems their kernel has...
My thoughts exactly. This is Microsoft we're talking about here. They won't ship it until it's so bloated it will barely run on the next generation super computer.

Have you consulted a mental health professional about this raging inferiority complex you're obviously suffering from?

...of Windows on the desktop!
Oh hang on, I can install drivers without recompiling the kernel and games can run without having to spend days trying to get some weird wine that requires the dlls from another operating system before they will run. Nope, still some way to go before it becomes a state of the art desktop machine like that Leenux.
Why was this modded Troll?
Umm, that's nearly two years old. Initially Vista performance was worse primarily because of crappy driver support, especially on the part of nVidia, which has been well documented. Benchmarks done a year after release found Vista and XP roughly equal, with Vista occasionally beating XP.
Are you just making stuff up? Did you not see in the article the benchmarks clearly show Vista SP1 *underperforming* Vista RTM?
Oh... wait. uhh... RTFA.

I have to agree, I don't think any other operating system will beat Vista's portrayal of a demotivated snail.
Excellent point. I'm sure Vista started as a good OS (like XP), but it became so weighed down with extra features that it became slow as a dog.
Please tell us, O Wise One, which features users want and which features users don't want. And remember, your choices must be universal across all users because one person's vital feature is another person's bloat.
My brother has a PC identical to mine, but while my XP-PC runs nice and fast, his Vista PC runs like it has a floppy drive instead of a hard drive.
Yeah man, and my third cousin twice removed has a PC identical to the one I had 10 years ago and while my Windows 3.1 ran blazingly fast his XP runs like it's on a tape drive! XP is so slow and bloated!
Vista is crap.
Except it isn't.
