Windows 7 Beta 1 performance - How does the operating system Vista and XP?
How 7 Beta 1 for Windows Vista and XP compare in terms of performance? This is an issue that was hit my inbox with regularity in recent weeks. Let’s see if we can not respond!
Important: Before going further I need to make a point, and make it clear. The building I’m testing Windows 7 (build 6.1.7000.0.081212-1400) is a beta build, and in general beta are generally more focused on the stability of performance. However, the performance of such construction should give us an idea of how the operating system is along the next.
Instead of issuing a series of reference for the three operating systems (something that frowns beta Microsoft is based, not to mention the fact that the final figures only important for the release candidate and is based RTM) I decided to Windows 7, Vista and XP head to head in a series of real-world tests to find out what OS is in place.
