Contrast between Boot performances of Windows 7 and Vista
Windows 7, the newest operating system and the successor of Vista, has several enhanced features.
Microsoft stated that they have used huge resources to build Windows 7 boot and regain from the sleep and hibernation faster than Vista, after they got severe criticism in 2007 for Windows Vista starting slowly.

The Los Angeles maker of PC software, iolo Technologies, contradict Microsoft’s claim by remarking that Windows 7 doesn’t boot faster. As per iolo tests, Windows 7 boots 42% slower than its predecessor. The company also declared that the study result on a brand new machine, Windows 7 takes one minute, 34 seconds whereas one minute, six seconds is taken by Windows Vista to boot up.

Over the time, Windows 7 will respond much slower. And by the end of two years, the startup time for Windows 7 would increase to 330%. Perform Administrative task from Start menu.
