Windows 7 – It’s Vista All Over Again

Because the more I play with Windows 7, the more I see the Vista debacle unfolding all over again. The commonly accepted wisdom is that Windows 7 is oh-so-much-better than Vista. Well, based on my own extensive testing, it’s not. Not at all.

Over the past two months, I’ve been testing the Win7 release candidate not on brand new hardware, nor on the free systems Microsoft has been providing to its favored reviewers. Instead, I’ve suffered through trying to upgrade a wide variety of systems that are a lot more like what you’re probably running – 1-3 year old notebooks and desktops. And what I’ve found is sharply different from the overweening bootlicking being spewed by most reviewers.

I don’t fault them – well, not too much. They’ve been running Windows 7 in a best-case environment, and I’ve been running it in the worst. They have access to a near-limitless supply of new computers, new notebooks and new peripherals from vendors eager to ride the expected coattails of Microsoft’s triumphant release. I’ve been relegated to testing Windows 7 on the old systems that you and I are still running.

From MacDailyNews: Study finds Microsoft Windows 7 boots slower than Vista

“Windows 7 boots slower than its unloved predecessor, Vista, a PC tune-up developer claims,” Gregg Keizer reports for Computerworld. “The claims by iolo Technologies, a Los Angeles maker of PC software, contradict Microsoft’s boasts that Windows 7 starts up faster than Vista.”

“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 when the time trials are run to the point where the machine is usable, at least by iolo’s standards,” Keizer reports.

“Windows 7 seems to start faster than Vista, says iolo, with its time-to-the-desktop measured as around 40 seconds,” Keizer reports. “But iolo measured startup as the point where the computer is ‘fully usable,’ with a low load on the processor.”

And, BusinessWeek calls Windows Mobile 6.5 ‘Windows Immobile’

“The last time Microsoft delivered a major upgrade to its smartphone software, Windows Mobile 6, in early 2007, Apple’s iPhone was still five months out on the horizon,” Stephen H. Wildstrom reports for BusinessWeek. “You can tell how radically Apple changed expectations about smartphones if you pick up any Windows Mobile handset today. The software seems positively quaint.”

For those giddy over Mossberg’s positive review of Vista SP3, aka Windows 7, might do well to revisit history (via The Small Wave):

“After months of testing Vista on multiple computers, new and old, I believe it is the best version of Windows that Microsoft has produced.” — Wall Street Journal, Jan. 18, 2007

“After using pre-release versions of Windows 7 for nine months, and intensively testing the final version for the past month on many different machines, I believe it is the best version of Windows Microsoft has produced.” — Wall Street Journal, Oct. 8, 2009

More on Apple’s attention to detail as demonstrated by their beautiful icons (via Apple Thoughts)

These are really incredible icons, well worth checking out if you have the time. You can’t really see all the details that Apple has put into their icons until you see them in the blown up version. They even put reflections in the columns for Numbers that are only visible in the larger versions. No good reason other than attention to detail.
