Windows 7 vs. Vista startup, memory, power overall

At the WinHEC 2008 conference a few days ago, Microsoft continued to introduce Windows 7, the first of which was a comparison of startup times with Vista.

Watch the video first:

On computers with the same configuration, Windows 7 starts up to about 5 seconds faster than Vista.

Microsoft said that the 5-second speed increase thanks to the following improvements:

1, improve the degree of parallelism of equipment initialization

2, reduce disk data reading

3, change the start sound effect

4, many other details to optimize and enhance

In addition, Microsoft also shows the memory consumption. In two sets of systems on the opening of a large number of Windows, Vista reached a certain number after the start of the error, and Windows 7 memory footprint and the number of Windows is not directly related, so with the increase in the window, memory has not been drastically consumed, the system is still running smoothly.

With the enhancement of the operating system and its functions, the problem of laptop battery endurance cannot be neglected. Microsoft has taken out two identical notebooks and played DVD videos at the same time, resulting in Windows 7 sticking up to one hours more than Vista, while Microsoft says Windows 7 can bring at least 11% more endurance, about 20 minutes. Microsoft also offers new gadgets to analyze notebook battery consumption and correct errors that affect battery life.

Other showcase projects are: Windows 7 interacts with Nokia N95 8GB, Logitech Camera, Bluetooth 2.1 devices, and runs Windows 7 on a Eee PC with Atom 330 Dual core processor, 1GB memory, 16GB solid-state drive, and a set of Windows installed 7 Core i7, GeForce GTX 280 SLI platform Run "Crysis" and so on.

The speeches of Steven Sinofsky and Jon DeVaan are about 1 hours and 18 minutes long and are interesting to watch (750Kbps).
