Study: Windows 7 doesn't boot faster | Beyond Binary - CNET News

M$ promised Windows 7 will boot quick than Vista.

No, first time Vista is fast boot than SP1 and SP2, becuase first time, it is sort program, later, more update, secuirty, SP1, and SP2, all in vista too much... then slow... Windows 7 will fast.. but next year, Windows 7 will slow later... I know microsoft is cheat becuase they need money every 2 or 3 year, many people complint xp is slow then buy vista slow then buy 7 etc... etc...

Mac OS X Snow Leopard boots up faster than Windows 7.

I'm not a Windows user, but I've always been curious why people are so absorbed with the concept of faster boot times...I consider speed more important once the machine actually starts running processes

PowerON · 10-14-2009, 11:22 AM

oh really? Have bench mark prove it then!

Your post is moot because I have Vista SP2, it is more improved and faster than Vista with no SP so your computer must be sucks.

Fan boys (pc and mac nazi's) always bring those kind of topic up, as one of their defense mechanism. I agree with you.

I dont see much elitists discuss about booting up speed, only cpu benchmarks.

darkage · 10-21-2009, 09:51 AM

So what..... They do not have any stuff programs then make faster boot up. Installed Anti-virus and all other stuffs make slower boot up.

All my 3 computers do not have Anti-virus, Anti-spam, etc. Just installed Office, Acrobat and Photo software. No junk stuff in my computers.

And risk your computers? Your computers will not survive that long... You are letting a big hole for malwares, hacker and so on. Good luck.

Yup, without anti-virus has cause Vista to become slowly degrade into crappy OS in later so I have reformat and clean install because I visit too many unfamiliar websites, I noticed that Games took over min to load instead of loaded in less than 10 sec at new clean install Vista.

Sorry for little Off Topic (OT)

At my workplace, they always have anti-virus but still got virus and malwares. I noticed that Win XP Prof got virus more than old Win NT or Win 2000.

My son has Anti-virus on his computer with Win XP. He got virus.
Other my son complains.... too slow and some virus. Soon, I will help him re-format his computer at college. All colleges require all students/staffs have McAFEE AV or other brand AV. Anti-Virus does not really big help to prevent virus.

I used to have computers since 1977. Not often, I got virus or malwares.

Last December, my wife use my laptop. She got malwares on my laptop. Last Jan, I installed Win 7. Sometime, I do download McAfee Stringer (to check any virus). Not see any virus since Jan 2009.

Most times, HACKERS always target business. No reason target on home users. They always look for free WIFI at next door. Few times, our internet went down then I do pick unsecure Wifi from neighood.

I do not use IM, AIM, etc... Also, I ignores all junk emails. Very few times, I got strange pop-up then computer's power off/on. I do not trust to click "Yes or No or Cancel" They do trick us (malwares). My best choice is power off better than be sorry myself.

If you use IM/AIM, check email with attachments, etc... You should have Anti-virus but STILL NOT 100 PERCENT SECURITY!!!

My father has Apple Mac. He got Virus. That's not common for Apple users. I am not familiar with Apple Mac. Let my brother took care for his dad's computer. My brother worked for Apple Computer - (Gov and film industrial).

Windows 7 looks nice, feels very responsive and yeah it boots fast. But, I am interested to see if the speed will be maintained over time. I am skeptical.

As for anti-virus applications... I also don't use them either. Pointless software.

Your Dell Mini is hackintosh?

Apple try to kill Hackintosh netbook. The current recommendation is to stick with 10.6.1 if you're running Snow Leopard, or 10.5.8 if your Hackintosh has Leopard. You could also try upgrading to 10.6.2 using an older or modified kernel.

Hackintosh Netbook users take note: Snow Leopard 10.6.2 update kills support for Atom Processor - OS X Daily

My Windows 7 Ultimate x64 has a much faster boot than my Windows Vista Ultimate x64. I am real happy about it.

snallga · 11-08-2009, 10:25 PM

I installed the windows 7 upgrade that where I got it from Dell. It is very stable and response faster.

Is anyone satisfy with that windows 7 than previous windows os?

I have been using Win7 for six months now, no problems with 'developing lags' but it will happen for sure, but further down the track. Win7 is built on the base of Server 2009 technology, so in effect these OS's shares server's archtitures which means less vulnerable, light, fast, more transparancy and also follows an idea in which the internet to behave more like a neural network...

the WIn7 i have here is the 'ultimate' version on RC (evaluation copy) so willl have to purchase a real copy , this time will be the Professional level, slightly 'less' than ultimate - i could not go down to Home Prem or Basic no way, if so I mainly use this computer for study and general home uses, ( I dont even play games now) I'd like the flexibility with a higher-grade OS's - my preferance.
Lastly Windows 7, with Kaspersky boots up real quick.absolutely no complaints here. I suspect people were picking wrong AV's, wrong bunch of applications that bloats the boot sequence, moreover buying a ready-take-home computers with Win7 supplied is bound to be riddled with bloatwares - all this trial softwares shit. That is a problem. It is best to get a fresh copy and start from there, so if possible buy a new Computer ask for discount to minus the OS, and supply yourself the real thing.

I am new to Windows 7 Professional as of tonight, and the boot was faster than the Vista used to... will get back to you once I have gotten used to the new OS
