Hopefully Microsoft learned from their mistakes and all those performance issues will be fixed on Windows 7. I have been testing the Beta of it and so far, so good. Very fast and responsive.

Everytime I hear how fast Seven is I remind myself of this:

2) And, prior to the release of VISTA there were dozens and dozens of these "benchmarks" published by various journalists and techies extolling performances and capabilities of VISTA that never appeared in the final release.

Some journalists even accepted expensive gift laptops to guarantee favorable reviews after VISTA was released, until an ethical journalist blew the whistle.

But, this PRE-BETA hype of Windows 7 is exactly what Microsoft did with VISTA and its purpose is the same: to keep the deer frozen in the "headlights" until the truck can turn them into roadkill.

The brighter the headlights the closer the truck appears to the deer. The deer is the consumer.

The hype is the bright lights, but no guarantee that the final product will shine as brightly, and the purpose is to prevent the consumer from moving to Mac or Linux.

But, as they say in investing, past performance is no guarantee of future performance.

IF Microsoft couldn't write a good VISTA in the time it gave itself, how can they write a good W7 in even less time?

It doesn't look good.

I'll wait the day Seven ships and benchmark it then.

Very true your argument.

No it's not. Look at the benchmarks. Do a little research and you will see. Especially in games. Stop being so Vista-Obsessed and accept the facts. Vista is fast at some things and very good at others but when it comes to game framerates, it fails. Vista's GUI does not respond as fast as XPs. Do your research.

Here. I'll save you the trouble of looking:

Are you still stuck in 2007? XP and Vista have been pretty much even in benchmark scores since SP1 was released, based on my OWN benchmarks, so I'll trust those over a 3rd party's.

I use Vista myself so no, I am not stuck in 2007.

Quite an old topic...

The list of services is my favorite part of his site. I always visit it when I reinstall my OS.

Eh...didn't realize I just bumped a thread from the end of June. My mistake :(.

Want to use Tweaked Settings from here, but I need to use modem, if I enable tweaked settings then modem dont work :/ what service i need to enable to get modem work ? :/

[AltecXP]

Do anything that site suggests, and you break your computer! Good job!

Benn using it since 2001, if it broke YOU broke it. Not the site.

[cropcircles]

After I had all my tweaks in Vista set up I really had no problems. Games performed well without any issues also. Thats my PC and who knows what junk, services running, software, etc on someone else's machine might cause these issues and Vista always would take the heat.

some 1?

i followed his Vista services guide and it worked well, i read every descirption before making a decision, and my Vista system runs way faster than my W7 install, im sure once W7 gets tweaked itll be faster but overall im happy with his guides
