Sorry - I'm way behind you guys on this one! I would like to try this but after what action are you getting the Window. I know it comes after some updates but is there anything specific?

Not to bad, but how many services and programs did you disable.

 

[davehc]

Ok. You got me. I'm pulling your legs. That was Vista. Windows 7 is in 167 seconds.
That is with 8 non-essential services disabled on both, icluding the Media centre, which is in that category for me. and any rubbish like Adobe reader and quicktime stripped from MSconfig. I wonder how these guys are claiming faster boot times for 7 - whats the secret?
Here is some good reading on boot times. Don't be too disappointed with your results. If you read the article you will see that it was pretty well stripped of start up components before testing (As was XP and Vista)

Mine is a long one, no doubt because I multi-boot.

 

[Bare Foot Kid]

Hey Ex_Brit.

You win the prize; two seconds longer than mine.......Which isn't saying much!

I also have the BIOS set to display the boot sequence and to delay for 10 seconds at the display screen, I don't think it's bad considering I have to select which OS I'm using by hand.

 

[garysgold]

I thought it was pretty fast. Way way faster than Vista.



I haven't disabled anything. Dual boot, but I hit the enter key right away (Windows seven is the default).

Here's Vista. W7 is 3 times faster here. I have a couple services disabled in Vista.

[davehc]

That is an incredibly long time you have for Vista, Gary. You must have quite a bit of gear loading in the startup sequence?

 

[Bare Foot Kid]

That is an incedibly long time ...

Hey Dave.

You think that one is long; have a look at this one....

:huh:That's about 3.5Hrs, what did you you do turn it off for that long.:sarc:

 

[Ex_Brit]

There's a minus in front of it....??????

Hi Dave,
Same machine for both. The only difference is I don't have all of my programs installed in
W7 yet. Can't imagine that an Office suite would slow it down much. Might though. I have noticed that when Vista is loaded I'm using about 35% of Ram and in W7 I'm only using 19%. Maybe prefetch isn't doing as much.
