That seems to be the drift from people who actually tried it who are not subject to FTC anti-shill regs. Apparently it is a slow booter "Windows 7 Called Slower than Vista" http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/173441/windows_7_called_slower_than_vista.html "According to iolo's tests, Windows 7 starts up 42% slower than Vista -- one minute, 34 seconds versus one minute, six seconds -- on a brand new machine" "Over an even more extended span, Windows 7's boot times get more sluggish than that: By the end of a simulated two-year period, Windows 7's startup times increased more than 330%." That would make it 5 minutes and 10 seconds to boot. Oof! I'm glad my OS X doesn't degrade like that. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
