Win 7 slower than Vista? :S

Just went back to Vista32bit for a while... everything is so much faster!

Is it just my experience? or is Win7 actually slower?

It's just you.I highly doubt there is anyone with the same opinion.

Hi bigmama,

It depends - partly on your hardware- you may be comparing x86 to x64 - you may have Vista installed on the first partition - you may have turned UAC off.

The only way to compare is to use the same bit versions of both, and run both without UAC.

Vista boots 20% faster on my machine than any of the 7 builds so far.

My Tortoise has come out of retirement now that Vista has gone, he was well upset at something being slower than him

Lets See the Tortoise!!

I wonder if he installed using upgrade rather than clean install.

What?! I it is so ,you're the first ever! And yes ,I'll ask it too - did you made upgrade or clean install? Someone mentioned boot time : on mine primary machine Vista needed almost minute - 54 sec ,while Seven boots in 37. I think it's just your experience!! And ,if you tested 64bit version of Seven it is slower then 32bit but not so slower!!

Vista SP2 is pretty quick but still slower than Win 7
