Windows 7 = RUNS MUCH COOLER. What? No, really, it does!
Obviosly, this OS is much faster and I am running it on a older duo core D series pentium, and those who know anything about computers will know that the DUO CORE D940 series of INTEL CPU ran very hot.
This was one of the very last chips before they revamped the entire DUO CORE line and one of the last where megahertz mattered. Mine is a D940 3.0 ghz which was replaced by Intel with the 2.166, then a few months later the 2.0, 2.2, and 2.4 duo core series.
When running OS X or Vista, my CPU would get really hot and the fan would be on all the time. Now I can hardly hear it and the fan rarely ramps up like a vacuum cleaner. This is wonderful news as the OS has become more like Apple in that it runs more efficiently.
I will go on record that this OS is going to be a huge hit. Huge. With Microsoft getting more efficiency with this older CPU, once can only imagine how well the actual release will be and how great it will probably run laptops.
Amazing.
