If you've been testing the final Windows 7 Release Candidate on your own physical platforms, and you wonder what's giving you that feeling that
it's just a bit peppier, a tad zippier, it's not an illusion. Betanews tests all this week, concluding today, comparing all the major stable
release and development Windows-based Web browsers, running on exactly the same physical computer with fresh Windows Vista SP2 and Windows 7 RC
partitions, confirmed what our eyes and gut feelings were telling us: On average, most browsers ran 11.9% faster in Windows 7 than on the same machine
running Vista SP2, with most speed gains falling right around that mark.

05.03.2009Samsung and Microsoft work to speed up SSDs
A few weeks ago SanDisk slated Windows Vista for not being optimized for SSD (Solid State Drive) storage hardware.
"As soon as you
get into Vista applications in notebook and desktop, you start running into very demanding applications because Vista is not optimized for flash
memory solid-state disk”. Said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Eli Harari
SandDisk’s solution is to develop a new
controller technology which will overcome these limitations but could take upto a year to reach the market.
Now according to
PCworld Samsung has been in talks with Microsoft to increase the performance of SSDs using Vista
and other MS OSes.
The speed and way in which SSDs fetch and cache data are different than hard drives, said Michael Wang, flash marketing
manager at Sun.
Standard magnetic hard drives have a 512kb cluster size where as SSDs only have a 4kb cluster size. Samsung hopes to work
with Microsoft to boost SSD performance on Windows by discovering optimal packet sizes for data transfers and the best ways to read and write files,
for example.
SSDs have been hailed as the future storage medium for PC’s and internet connected devices, citing speed, power use and
durability.

07.08.2008London to have satellites that monitor your speed
In a trial that can only be described as Big Brotherly, London is going is going to start trials of attempting to stop speeders from space. The
basic idea works around that the vehicles are equipped with information about speed limits for public roads. A satellite will monitor the speed of
the car vs. the pre-installed data to determine if the car is speeding. If the car is found to be speeding then one of two things can happen. The car
can either be slowed down by the satellite (voluntary mode) or the car can alert you that you need to slow down but won't actually adjust the
vehicles speed (advisory mode).

29.07.2008Install Windows Vista from a high speed USB 2.0 Flash Drive
Why would someone want to
install a client OS from a
thumb drive instead of a
DVDROM or over the network?
One reason: Performance.
Installing Windows
Vista from a high speed USB
flash drive is in my
experience the easiest &
fastest way to complete a
Windows Vista install. This is
much faster than using a DVD,
gigabit ethernet, or possibly
even some external USB 2.0
hard drives, due to
differences in access speed &
transfer rate. To put this
into perspective, y'know how
installing Windows on a
Virtual PC virtual machine
from an .ISO CD image is
really, really, really fast?
Imagine something
roughly just as fast, except
for doing installations of the
OS on to actual
workstations.

01.03.2007Firefox 3 Takes Web Animation to the Bleeding Edge
The Firefox team is showing
great dedication in its quest
to fix the little things
broken on the web.
Animated GIFs are
something of an eyesore. Not
to mention so very 1998.
That's why it's refreshing
to learn that the next Mozilla
Firefox -- version 3 is due to
arrive in late September or
early October -- will include
support for two new animation
techniques that will encourage
a shift away from animated
GIFs and challenge the use of
Flash for smaller user
interface elements (where
it's unnecessary in the first
place).
These are experimental
methods using data formats not
yet widely supported. But they
are an improvement over the
status quo, and they point the
way toward a future more
reliant on forward-thinking
web standards.

28.11.2007Vista Performance and Reliability Pack Unofficial Release
Thanks Nekrosoft for the news
on this major update to
Windows Vista that should for
most of us improve the speed
and reliability of Windows
Vista significantly!
Please note: These fixes
break all current methods of
bypassing driver singing
requirements except the good
old F8 during boot (that you
have to do every single time
you start vista)
IF
you are using Rivatuner,
atitool and or Peerguardian on
64bit vista, you will have to
use F8 every single time to
disable driver signing
requirements to use those two
programs. x86 version is
unaffected.
These
updates should go official on
the next patch Tuesday (in one
weeks time). Please read more
for the download links and
information on these
updates.

When choosing a new operating system, the first thing many people ask is, "What will it help me do?" In answer, much of this site shows you the
great experiences Windows Vista helps you have. The second thing many people say is, "Prove that it's better." In particular, many of you have

sleep and resume features can bring your PC to life in a snapin fact, the vast majority of all Windows Vista-based PCs resume from sleep in less than
6 seconds.
- PCs running Windows Vista that are equipped with 512 MB memory experience a performance boost of up to 40 percent with Windows
ReadyBoost. Just plug a USB flash drive into your computer, and Windows Vista will automatically start using it to speed up memory access to important
data.
