Two tests performed by lifehacker, on a PC with an Intel Core 2 Duo 3.16GHz and 4GB of RAM, show that Windows 7 is faster than XP and Vista.

First test: from the boot screen to Desktop “Fully-loaded”:

• Windows 7 Ultimate (Preview, PDC edition, 32-bit): 32 seconds
• Windows Vista Ultimate (32-bit, SP1): 33 seconds
• Windows XP Professional (SP3): 40 seconds

Second test: from the boot screen to the user selection screen:

• Windows 7 Ultimate (Preview, PDC edition, 32-bit): 23 seconds
• Windows Vista Ultimate (32-bit, SP1): 24 seconds
• Windows XP Professional (SP3): 29 seconds

More surprising, this gap of 7 seconds between Vista and XP for the first test…
