Windows 7 is finally with us, two and a half years after we were given Vista, Microsoft have unleashed their latest Windows Operating System. The kind people over at PC Mag have put together a series of tests in order to see where Windows 7 Compares to it’s older brothers. The tests found that while 7 is a vast improvement over Vista it’s only just managed to pass the benchmark set by many people’s favourite, XP. Even still XP beats 7 in several tests.
It must be noted that these tests were carried out on clean installs of each operating system and may not entirely reflect the performance when a machine is slightly older with more applications installed.
