The surprise of Windows 7

September 17th, 2009 aVoN Leave a comment Go to comments

Yesterday, I installed Windows 7 on my 3.5 years old notebook. The new harddisk I ordered for it came, that’s why. And because Vista was slow like hell.

Well, Vista booted on it in around 3 minutes, before the harddisk stopped making noise and the PC became usable. The inital firefox start took one more minute.

The new drive isn’t that fast – 60-70 MB/s max (my Desktop PC’s HDD has 120 MB/s average and 150 MB/s max). Despite from this, Windows 7 boots up in 38 seconds – As fast as on my (destroyed) desktop PC!

Windows 7 never cease to surprise me. It’s definitely better than Vista and as fast as (or even faster) than XP.

    I tried Windows 7 on my Old notebook from 2001, I noticed : It was alot faster than Vista And XP… This is the first time that Microsoft made a Good Windows Version.. Smile

    Yes, indeed. They totally made the best Windows so far after XP: The nice look of vista, a better speed than XP and modern technology.

    HOLY SHIT: On my sisters computer, Windows 7 even boots faster. 23 seconds from boot to desktop.
    It is a PC from 2004, Asrock 939 Dual Sata II (my old PC) with 2 GB DDR1 and a 1TB Harddrive (same as my current PC).

    The funny thing is: Windows 7 does not support this motherboards lan and sound device by default. But I was able to install the Xp64 lan driver (LOL, WHAT?), do a windows update and then download “microsoft driver” for all that. Funny thing. All worked!

    I hate my Windows 7. Booting is slow, most of my software doesn’t work and it uses too much Graphics. My Ubuntu VM on Sun VirtualBox Boots in 5 seconds.
