Boot and Other Performance • A reduced boot time is Windows 7 goal. In lab test a good boot time is 15 seconds is under normal conditions. “Startup can be one of three experiences; boot, resume from sleep, or resume from hibernate. Although resume from sleep is default, and often 2 to 5 seconds based on common hardware and standard software loads…For Windows 7, a top goal is to significantly increase the number of systems that experience very good boot times. In the lab, a very good system is one that boots in under 15 seconds.” (“Engineering” 2008) • Windows 7 will improve performance in memory usage, CPU utilization, Disk I/O, Boot times, Shutdown, Resume, Standby, Base system, and Disk footprint.
