Recently on the raging articles, reviews and debates on the new home operating system Microsoft released in beta and testable by all. And there is to say that the positive comments out there, although it is still under development. But there is an objective and impartial way to evaluate and make a comparison? They tried, and tuxradar.com comes the reply. Were tested on the same machine, Windows Vista (Ultimate), Windows 7, Ubuntu Ubuntu 8:10 and 9:04 and below are the results more relevant.
Installation Time :
As can be seen from the graph in Ubuntu is a distinct advantage over Vista and Seven. There is however clear that Windows systems perform a benchmark of the system during installation, to recognize the hardware, which occupies a portion of extra minutes. A nice information is the number of "click" that the user during installation, Ubuntu 8:10 and 9:04 respectively, 7 and 8 and 12 are for Vista and Seven will count 14 (obviously it is only a curiosity and is not characteristic to be considered in determining the best system).
Space after installation :
Ubuntu in the lead with only 2.3Gb of space soon after the installation against 8.2Gb Vista (If we consider the 64bit version are even 11.9Gb). It 'true that the Ultimate version of Vista already contains application software but the kids keep us tuxradar.com to clarify that the standard version of Ubuntu also includes a complete suite of programs like Vista. By Seven has not changed much, the space is occupied pressapoco the same.
Starting and switching off the system :
One point in favor for Seven, the newcomer, who is able to boot in less than a minute (even if the 64bit version leaves much to be desired). Following Vista with its 64/65 seconds and queue for the Ubuntu boot that employs a handful of seconds more than the opponents. The test was carried out by starting the timer at the press of the button to turn on the PC.
To switch off is another story. Vista is faster than Ubuntu in terms of fractions of a second. Embarrassing performance in Vista 64bit, and speed not equal to the ignition to Windows 7.
Transferring files :
The results of the test (in milliseconds) of such systems: Windows 7 64bit emerges the winner, followed by 9:04 Ubuntu 64bit and Vista 64bit even if results are all very close. With regard to the systems are not 64bit Ubuntu shows discretamente slower. It 'easy to understand how, under conditions of stress, have a 64bit OS can make a difference.
Recall that Windows 7 is still in beta and will surely substantial changes until the official release, the results of these tests are still approximate. Although this is not to be underestimated because in some areas of the test has received excellent feedback and have time to improve its weaknesses.
