build 7127 Vs 7100 - Thoughts so far
Hi all
Clean install on a laptop -- 11 Mins from a USB stick for 7127 vs 17 mins for 7100.
(If you made a bootable usb stick from an earlier version - or even VISTA just delete the files and copy the files from the W7 ISO to the USB stick. The old bootrec is fine - even if it's the x-86 bootrec -- it will still work even for installing the x-64 bit OS - you don't have to wipe it and create a new active partition on it as per the tutorial).
Only 3 apps installed so far
Photoshop CS4
MS Office 2007
Canon DPP / EOS camera utility.
so not rigorous testing -- but 7127 seems to be snappier and video just "seems" less jerky when scrolling web sites etc etc.
My impressions are that it just SEEMS a bit better than the RC - but of course this isn't a scientific study.
So if you have this build I'd go for it over 7100 -- keys still work BTW and didn't have any problems with Windows Update upgrading my Office 2007 to SP2.
Cheers
