A while back we told you about how Adrian Kingsley-Hughes at zdnet was publishing information on the coming Windows 7. He last published an interesting review containing information on the news of Windows 7 to the installation process, which seemed to go smoothly. He has now followed up with a comparison between Windows 7 beta 1 and its two predecessors Windows Vista and Windows XP in a variety of tests.
Performance hasn’t been a priority so far in the development process so we weren’t expecting all that much, but the fact is that Windows 7 is faster in all but four of the 46 tests. And since we expect the final release to be faster than the beta, things are certainly looking up for Microsoft. After the criticized Windows Vista it looks like Windows 7 will be able to recover some of the lost glory.
