I can personally say that it depends on your machine: if it s quite powerful you should go with Windows 7 (when the SP1 for it comes out) because there will be more tech support, drivers etc. for it, AND it is a bit faster than Vista, as tests confirmed. If it s a bit old stick with XP, since all the new features might be quite a load on your computer. XP is faster since it does not waste your RAM and CPU with loads of features which you are probably not going to use anyways, like Windows 7 does. But, if you need some SOURCES, here are some articles: This one is for overall performance: http://forums.techarena.in/reviews/11051... This one is for performance in games: http://kotaku.com/5139009/so-which-is-fa... --- By the way, if you want performance, and very low prices (most things are free, actually), then you can get a Linux distribution. However, if you plan to play games, you should stick with a Windows OS. Another reason to stick with Windows is if you bought a lot of expensive programs for it. But that s just my opinion.
My laptop came with Windows XP Media Center Edition, and I have installed Windows 7 beta on it. Mind you that my laptop is a gaming laptop and it is 3.5yrs old. I have used all versions of windows EXCEPT Vista, and I have to say that MS has done something good for once. It runs as fast, or faster than with XP on it (oh,win7 is also a media center edition). I ve had it on my laptop for 2wks now and the only problem was finding drivers for my Air Card, and Wi-Fi card. But all I needed was to find the Vista drivers for them and now I have everything running on Win7 as was on WinXP. This is the first version of Windows that I will probably go out and buy to put on my PC. Hope this helps.
Being a Linux user and semi-Windows hater, I ve actually been very surprised and impressed with the Windows 7 Beta. Its very streamlined and polished and feels almost ready for release (which it pretty much is, seeing as they re skipping B2 and going straight to RC). On newer and more powerful hardware, Windows 7 will probably be a winner. On anything else however, sticking with XP is probably the best option.
windows xp is the fastest on quad cores and dual cores. stats say it is faster than vista and will be faster that windows seven. of course it will be faster on single cores as well. stick with it until you get the core i7, which will repotedly run windows 7 much faster. sorry no links, but it comes from my subscription to pcworld.
windows 7 is released for testing as beta. Microsoft said that: it s faster, reliable and easier than older versions of windows. To learn about windows 7, visit- http://www.whatamiracle.com/windows-7/ Yes, you can download it from here: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows...
well if 7 is anything like vista, then be afraid... be very afraid. the Q is, do you want functionality, or flashy... and lets be honest, vista OS is flash and memory hungry... which is why its so slow. ive just upgraded to a 8450 with 4 gigs of ram, and a gig graphics card...and i run XP. its fast, stable and i never get the BSOD... mind you, i work on my PC, i dont play games or do social networking... my brother has a vista pc at work, my comparison is between his 3ghz twin chip, 1gig ram on vista, and my old 2.8 single chip, 1.5mb ram, on XP.
lol idk microsoft claims its faster than xp yea mabe after they f up xp with some slow down updates like sp3 which slowed it and didnt do much else why does the updates slow the pc its just a money money money money so idk xp was the awesome os why do ya need to f it up my xp never screwed up my vista always does
Windows 7 will probably be more of a resource hog than Vista was over XP. And no version of windows is stable right out of the box. If you need to get a copy of windows now then just get XP.
Windows 7 is out, it is in open beta. And it is not faster than XP, but it does have some nicer features. it uses quite a bit more resources than XP. For info and benchmarks... http://www.infoworld.com/article/08/11/1... To download the Windows 7 beta... http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows...
I ve heard 7 has faster load times and is faster than vista/xp/mac osx in running apps and so forth.

And since Windows 7 isn t out, how would we know?
