In this video, I answer a question from phillymaniac14 who wants to know my thoughts on Windows XP performance versus Windows 7 performance on my netbooks. I own an HP Mini 1000 while my wife owns a HP Mini Vivienne Tam edition. Both of these are equipped with 2GB of RAM, but my wife still has Windows XP Home and I have Windows 7 Beta. My tests are hardly scientific but I've found that the extra memory definitely helps Windows 7 performance with full screen flash videos. As it stands, Windows 7 and Windows XP full screen flash video performance seem to be identical. With lessar RAM, Windows XP performed better. There are many factors to consider when comparing OS's especially with a beta OS such as Windows 7. There's also Flash software, browser versions and compatibility issues that may need to be adjusted on Windows 7. A very early test, but it was interesting to note. I hope this answers your question phillymaniac14. If you have any other questions you'd like me to attempt to entertain, email me at help@bwana.tv

  • i have an Acer Aspire One notebook that is supposedly designed for windows 7 yet it takes 5 minutes to load at the load screen and then and extra 3 minutes to load the drivers and services, i install vista and proformance was worse and slower, then i tried xp and computer runs 8x's faster... XP is better. i had a no mercy mod for pj64 tthat would never run right or at all, but works fine in xp. xp is better for internet, gaming, and everything, mircosft blinded you idiots
