While I was viewing the article and attached videos, I toggled to my task manager to compare performance of Windows 7 to Vista that I’m running on my Dell XPS M1330. With 97 processes running, CPU usage was at 20% and memory usage was at 2.03GB. I was amazed to see in the video, improvements in Window 7 had the Motion LS800 Tablet running at 1-2% CPU consumption and only 390MB memory usage! Even though this was based on 50 processes running, the increased efficiency of Windows 7 is unmistakable.
Memory and CPU mismanagement have been some of the biggest gripes of the Windows platform as of late, so if these improvements make it past beta, the horizon looks bright for those of us still traveling down the PC road.
