Windows 8 boots...how faster?

Well, the rush of Windows 8 has passed and now we can actually get a realistic analysis out of it. Besides, The 90-day trial "Download for free" avaible for averyone makes us easy to go thru with this search and you can even get a home-made proof of it.

The question is, just how much better is Windows 8 than Windows 7? We already knew there were some obvious improvements and anticipated elements included on the OS update, such case is the the faster boot sequence. The faster the start for a computer, the less time you spend waiting for it to fire up.

It’s something that Microsoft has been whacking on since BUILD last year, during which the company showed off how fast a Windows 8 machine could fire up. At the end of the process, how much progress has it made? Some, but perhaps not as much as you might have anticipated.

According to a study executed by TechSpot, Windows 8 boots one-third faster than Windows 7. Here’s the graph from its report:

Test 01 520x216 Windows 8 boots 33% faster than Windows 7, according to testing

If you want to run the math, head here.

Here’s the rub: on a lighting fast modern PC – specs from TechSpot at the end of this post – Windows 8 is abut a third faster. That’s either good, boosts are nice, or bad, only a third on such a major release? However, it’s a bit moot. What matters is how quickly Windows RT will boot when compared to Windows 7. That will determine the tablet experience.

So, Windows 8 on your desktop will fire up a bit faster, but it’s difficult to tell how much that matters, exactly. For now, if you are planning on moving to Windows 8, expect to have less time to brew coffee in between hitting go on your computer and when it asks for your password image
