It’s clear that some of the results here are all over the place, and I’m putting this down this the fact that Windows 7 is still a work in progress (and realistically, probably will be for a good 9 - 12 months after launch) and drivers are still pretty new. However, four patterns do emerge:
- Windows 7 is, overall, better than both Vista and XP.
- As Windows 7 progresses, it’s getting better (or at least the 64-bit editions are).
- On a higher-spec system, 64-bit is best.
- On a lower-spec system, 32-bit is best.
Microsoft seem to have taken the lessons learnt during the Vista debacle to heart and that is good news for users of their products. Personally I have been happy using both Vista 64-bit and Leopard (OS/X 10.5.6). I am looking forward to both Windows 7 from Microsoft and Snow Leopard (OS/X 10.6) from Apple.
