Hi now that both are with testers is there any performance comparison between the two? e.g. boot time, install time, app launch times, so on? couldn't find anything on google for this!

this has nothing to do with vlite

[pallavsuri]

sure thing but there are many informed people around here. i'm sure its not entirely not of their interest either.

[hannubys]

New releases are always supposed to be more powerful

[pallavsuri]

thats true since both r new im wondering if sp2 and win 7 share the same underlying architecture and hence performance?

[aviv00]

win7 run gr8 on 512mb vmware
maybe faster then server 2008

didnt try the sp2 tho

vLite did work with Windows 7 but not the latest 6801 release.

I remove a hell of a lot of components using vlite (i only keep about 5-6 things with extreme, paint, notepad, .NET and a few others) with the current installation of Windows 7 6801... it runs at the same performance of my vista vlited install with is great! Did i forget to mention that it is a non-vlited install of Windows 7

boot time, install time, app launch times, so on?

Boot Time: 4 out of 5 (no need to count... nice boot screen though)
Install Time:5/5 - 23 mins
App Launch Times: 4.5/5 Very quick (even when i never opened the app before) Minefield opens up instantly.
CPU: between 1% and 9% (Intel Pentium Dual-Core T2370 2x 1.73Ghz)
Memory Uage: 45% (2GB RAM DDR2) with Office 2007 installing and MSN, Minefield (Firefox Alpha) running..
User Interface: Love it! Much Much smoother, nice visual effects, etc...
Sound: Crackles a lot (for me anyway, the logon sound... sounded horrible) - built-in sound card on laptop
Wallpapers: Better than XP
Themes: pretty much the same but got more choice.
Drivers: Uses Vista Drivers

Windows Update UI looks nice
New WMP takes a while to get used to

Bugs
Start Menu sometimes does not open
Again, sound crackles but not really a bug i dont think

Now, how do you got vLite working with 6801? I can't get it work, during setup, it says cannot open install.wim... wtf

hi guys ms released a new build of vista sp2 on 30th but its nowhere on the net. build number is 16497. installation is the same way. the same reg key tweak works.

i also got the chance of installing windows 7 and had a few program compatibilty issues otherwise it had a lot of new customisation settings which is impressive.

for now vista sp2 (16497) is performing a bit better than windows 7 on my machine.

I remove a lot of components with windows vista...... Windows 7 (full) runs faster than my fully vlited vista install.

i tested boot-time's win7 with 512mb ram and 1024mb ram ;o its the same

50second [ full screen vmware winamp runing on background]

I also tested it with 2gb ram win7 x64, boot time was 45 sec. But the overall peformance of win7 (non-vlited) compare to a vista (almost everything removed) is awesome. Windows 7 is not even a beta 1 release, and the performance its showing is very promising.

gr8

did u test server 2008 vs 7 too ?

anyway i still love server edition much less bloated with stuff

and the os already tweaked to which i need

No time yet, going to test server 2008 vs win7 soon. Am pretty sure it will be faster than server as well, and if it is then, for the first time am going to say "Congrats Microsoft"..lol

[aviv00]

ur vista is sp2 beta ?

im wondering if sp2 fix the os to max performance
