Windows 7 Boots Slower than Vista, Says Study

Microsoft new Windows 7 operating system boots slower than his beloved predecessor, Windows Vista, a PC tune-developer, said today.

Claims by iolo Technologies, a Los Angeles manufacturer of PC software, in violation of Microsoft boasts that Windows 7 starts faster than Vista.

According to the evidence iolo, Windows 7 starts, 42% slower than Vista - one minute and 34 seconds versus a minute, six seconds - in a new machine when the time trials are conducted, to the point where the machine is Use at least by the standards of Iolo.

Windows 7 seems to start faster than Vista, said iolo, with its time-to-the-desktop as few as 40 seconds. But starting iolo measured as the point where the team is "fully usable", with a low load on the processor.

Microsoft has said that it's dedicated significant resources to that Windows 7 boot, and standby and hibernation state, faster than Vista, which has been criticized since 2007 to start slowly.

Other tests, iolo, however, have echoed, and showed that in some cases, Windows 7 does not start slower than Vista. PC World, a sister publication Computerworld, for example, benchmark the new operating system as a starting point to 10% slower than when comparing Vista 32-bit versions of the two, but was 14% faster in 64 -bit.

iolo also said that evidence suggests that Windows 7 boot times, such as Vista, will degrade over time. After several "common use" applications have been installed in a new box of Windows 7, for example, your boot time - again, as measured by the company - slows to two minutes, 34 seconds, an increase of 64 %.

For a more extended period, is to get Windows 7 boot times slower than that: At the end of two years simulated Windows 7 boot times increased over 330%.

The boot times have become a hot topic. Last week, the Chinese computer maker Lenovo said its new ThinkPad notebooks and ThinkCentre desktops Windows 7 boot faster than 56% when loading XP or Vista with the operating system, drivers and power management settings did.

iolo said it will give more details and results of its Windows 7 boot time benchmarks on Monday.
