Faster (much) is generally enough of an excuse


  Except no professional hardware reviewer showed those speed increases.

At least not on any modern hardware.

But effect of placebo is truly miraculous

Or maybe it's just people upgrading from bloated several years old uncleaned windows xp installations. Then for sure there will be day and night difference.


I couldn't care less what people have reported, I know what I've seen with my very eyes MULTIPLE times. The biggest speed gains occur on lower spec machines. Specifically (from my experience) laptops running Vista with 1-2GB of RAM, I haven't installed it on any desktops yet.

I found Vista x64 install blazing fast on my Core i7 with 6GB DDR3 RAM, it runs like a dream, so I don't expect much of an increase when I get around to installing Windows 7 on that, however for most people who buy cheap entry level machines, they will see improvements.

It is also faster on mine.  I did a Win7 Ult x86 clean install (2GB RAM).  It is faster than the Vista H.Prem. version.  Btw, I read that Win8 is going to have 128 bit support...
