The anticipated arrival of Windows 7 will not be released until June 3, 2009 however there is a pre-beta of this operating system. With this pre-beta, end users can download, install, and get a feel for what the new operating system will be like. There are many statements how performance can be improved using the new operating system. I decided to research Windows 7 and see for myself.

I found an article explaining the new operating system. Here is a small excerpt from it:

“Through reduced background activity by minimizing the number of services running at startup, the number of disk operations, the reading and writing to and from the the registry, and the indexing of files, Windows 7 promises to increase the performance of the operating system but also to consume much less energy.” (Pociu, 2008)
