Hi there
A bit of meaningless FUD actually.
Depends on what the OS has to do, whether it's secure or not and what hardware it's running.
I have some hardware that takes maybe as much as 5 mins to warm up per session (and you can't leave this type of equipment switched on all day either) it's used so the speed of the OS itself is 100% irrelevant in this situation.
Android is a Tiny OS (although it leaks like a sieve) so it should be fairly "Fast" --there's almost NO CODE in it --same with VMWARE's ESXI although that is extremely robust.
Windows 8 for all its other problems doesn't have the label of "Slow and doddering" labelled at it.
If people are dissatisfied with the performance of Windows - it's usually because the hardware isn't sufficient -- I still see in some workplaces old Pentium machines with 512 KB RAM (yes KB) in them trying to run 4 or 5 modern apps --of course it's going to be running as slow as a stream of molasses.
I have Photoshop CS6 64 bit running on Windows 8 from an SSD on a LAPTOP - and it STARTS and is READY FOR USE in around 3 yes THREE secs -- so why should I care if the OS can shave a few microsecs of some of its processes --I'd prefer it slightly slower and 100% SECURE than fast, lean and LEAKY.
If you haven't corrupted the registry, have installed enough RAM, have a sensible processor in your computer and have DECENT DISKS - preferably an SSD then you shouldn't have complaints from a performance issue whatever version of Windows you want to run -- even poor olds VISTA.
(Or even these --scr shots enc)
