Um, are you sure that's what it said?

Quote from: Toms Hardware
To better gauge the user’s performance experience or how fast the system feels, load times must be captured. While we could certainly have used a stopwatch, an electronic timer is far more accurate, and benchmarks such as PCMark and SYSmark use them. These programs indicate that Windows 7 feels 7% to 10% faster than Windows Vista, and that’s enough to make us give the new OS the nod in spite of its lack of differentiation in most of our other test

'Feels' faster does mean it is faster.




hell my jeep 'feels' a lot faster than my merc. Doesn't mean it is.

Well, after saying I didn't like committing to a Windows product early in it's life.......

We now have 2 W7 PC's at work  :lol: And......

I rather like it  :oops: :lol: There seem to be so many little details that 'just work' rather than being a pain.

All initial setup problems seem to solve themselves with updates within a day or 2.

1992 Pajero SWB 2.5 Auto (failed its MOT and for sale if you want it)
