Windows 7 Faster than Vista or XP?
Author: Chris10 Nov
Not that we necessarily care to worry about Windows 7 right now, but we might as well peak into the inevitable future. The video above is quite old but still funny. It’s a banned commercial which showed us yet again the fatality that awaits any Windows user, the blue screen of death.
Getting back to Windows 7 here, and hoping that it won’t bring us any future blue screens of death, we found out that the new Microsoft OS is faster than Vista or XP.
Tested on an Intel Core 2 Duo processor running at 3.16GHz, with 4GB of RAM the three Windows versions pulled of the following numbers:
- Test Set 1: From Boot Choice to Fully-loaded User Desktop
- Windows 7 Ultimate (Preview, PDC edition, 32-bit): 32 seconds
- Windows Vista Ultimate (32-bit, SP1): 33 seconds
- Windows XP Professional (SP3):40 seconds
- Test Set 2: From Boot Choice to User Login Screen
- Windows 7 Ultimate (Preview, PDC edition, 32-bit): 23 seconds
- Windows Vista Ultimate (32-bit, SP1): 24 seconds
- Windows XP Professional (SP3): 29 seconds
So it looks like Windows 7 is faster than Vista and XP. Oddly enough, I am looking forward to checking Windows 7 myself.

My XP boots in like 45 seconds, Windows 7 takes about 60 seconds, and Ubuntu 8.10 takes like 2 minutes on my 1.8GHz AMD Sempron Single Core.

Listen very carefully…if you remove all the unwanted application running on Windows XP Pro & remove the unwanted services running you will be able to boot with it 25 sec flat and I am running alot of programs on startup.
The best thing is that I am having a basic machine. Click Start - Run - type (MSCONFIG) this will enter you in Microsoft configurations. Here you can set your performance with ease. Enjoy…
