this is BS
the demo is optimized more for windows 7 thats it
its not the kernel that makes the demo faster
-
Quick way to tell which is which: The 7 start menu has items pinned to it, while the Vista menu has a quick-launch bar. The labels on the video are correct.

Vista > Windows 7

@jurisnake8 Its not "Hunger" its called preload. Windows Vista preloads applications onto the RAM so that they start quicker. Thats why you see more RAM being used. Its the same in Windows 7 although it doesn't use it at much as Vista does. XP doesn't have that at all, thats why it uses less RAM.

Tell me if im wrong but. What my eyes are seeing is that Vista has more horses than Windows 7 and the screen isn't freezing every 2 seconds.... Hmm. Vista FTW?
-
yeah alot of bogging in the win7 version. id like to see an AMD phenom x6 4.0Ghz go up against the 8 core i7 :p
-
I love how the the screen hiccups at the same time he's saying 'windows 7 is better'
-
so, a kernel's performance depends on the processor i have?
-
wow~~win7 running much heavier compare with windows vista....lol
-
The framerate looked nearly flawless on Vista, but I observed quite a bit of hitching on 7. lol

Why dont you compare it to XP-performance? Vista is known for its hunger.
There seems to be some confusion regarding this video. As such we will be re-releasing more detailed screen captures of the demo. In the meantime until these are ready and to clear up some of the initial confusion Win7 is indeed the one on the right. And indeed there seems to be something else going on when the video was recorded. Intel and Msft worked together on tuning Win7 to understand the architectural changes that were introduced in the Core i7 processors better.
