The RETAIL version of Win7 does load slower than the RC release. Seriously! By as much as 20 slower from what I can tell.

When I had w7 on my laptop (Celeron-M 530: single core 1.73GHz 533FSB 1MB L2 cache Conroe-L, 1 stick of ddr2 533 4-4-4-12) it was pretty zippy. I was amazed at how fast it was considering the setup.

You get that crysis loadtime thing too?

It's been quite annoying. On XP/Vista it loaded smooth and quick, now with 7 it takes forever on the last bit. I still like 7 better than any other OS though.

Nothing shi**y about them; they make good software for the people who, either, do not have the time or knowledge for cleaning, tweaking, securing, adjusting, and optimizing their os platform.

Most of the people on this forum, probably, do most of the functions themselves, but there are users out there that do not have the knowledge to do this or the the time... so Iolo makes a good all in one source point for this type of person.

Their A/V may not be the best, but neither are some of the others, but it does work.

And, the tech support is good and helpful...first hand knowledge.

Also, the wife, likes their System Mechanic; as, she can automate a lot of tasks, without my intervention.

Sorry about off topic.

Back on topic...

My Windows 7 (64 bit) seems to be quicker at getting me to the desktop; with a clean install, but have noticed the same certain apps that will slow down the process.

Thanks for speaking up I really was starting to think I was the only one

Delta6326 · 11-02-2009, 05:06 PM

well my rig with W7 starts up about 5sec. faster than vista to me W7 is just a renamed Vista with eye candy and some tweaks but my moms crapy old Pent4 at 2.4ghz with 512mb of ddr and onboard graphics starts up faster than my w7 theirs starts in around 20sec. from power on to logged on mine takes around 40+sec. when i get home i will have to time it

flashstar · 11-02-2009, 08:04 PM

Windows 7 is faster for me and more stable as as well. Vista gets very laggy over time whereas windows 7 stays quick no matter how long you use it and applications open much faster as well.

jmcslob · 11-02-2009, 08:15 PM

I dual boot and i know that Win7 boots faster But I just don't understand Why there is a 7 other than those stupid Mac commercials, really it's not like 7 Does more right? TBH if it wasn't for the expanded quick launch bar in 7, Vista would still be my main OS, But I absolutely love the expanded Quick launch Bar

it makes the switch worth it Right?

Video of the same hardware booting clean installs of Win Vista, Win7, Ubuntu 9.04 and Ubuntu 9.10

Each OS has firefox set as a startup program which goes and loads the websites home page. The timer stops when the OS has booted, firefox is open and their homepage has loaded.

I don't get those reaults

it goes 7,Vista,Ubuntu... something is Bunk about that test...Like maybe 7 was installing updates or something

laszlo · 11-04-2009, 06:31 PM

i have 7 installed and activated but i don't use it...my 1st option is still xp;about boot time i don't care as i use hdd not ssd so no big difference between boots between any os... seconds who have time to count ... let us know...

Do clean installs of both time it yourself. Set firefox to load on startup in both Vista and Win7 and stop the timer when firefox has loaded.

Only a fool claims bs from a non-amateur video without solid evidence that says otherwise.

Every setup is different. Win 7 absolutely boots the fastest for me. Faster than Vista, XP or Fedora.

Ok well look at the differences in the Programs..Lets start with Firefox which with Ubuntu is Extremely basic, your not Talking program for program here

with windows you get twice the firefox, right off the start

Then your talking about services..Which 7 loads just above basic requirements Vista loads em all! and Ubuntu starts exactly How many it needs for the program it's running, I don't see what this Video proves...

and I think they picked a setup that would depict the end results before Hand...

I could waste my time reinstalling to find out what i already Know....My setup does not resemble that test setup and my results ARE completely different

My Pc is setup for so Many things That Ubuntu just doesn't do
But Windows Does
Which I'm sure makes all the difference here

And as I said I believe That Video was Made with Certain hardware That favors Ubuntu's fresh install over 7

I personally could careless, I dont notice a difference and I didnt notice a difference between XP and Vista, if it's taking over a minute by that time I am usually already not paying attention to it.
