That's interesting. I wonder how the final version will be compare to the beta. So far, every report I've read has been more positive than negative.

Done, and yes... I saw this a while back. It is very interesting as you would have thought the system that uses the least resources (XP) would produce the fastest results.

I have done a few of the test myself and can confirm them... so it's a good sign!

I'd say the beta is pretty much as the RC and release will be. I can't see them going backwards, so it's all good!

Thanks Crabby!

I don't see what they can change to make an RC build , but if its even more faster i wouldn't complain. The fact that this Beta will be the only Beta shows that is practically there already, maybe a few minor tweaks and then its of to the release candidates.

There's always room for improvement. Booting time and hibernation, for example, could be improved. I feel that the time it takes to start the PC, from either hibernation or start-up could be improved. Also, there are too many restart during windows updates or software installations. Some updates require users to select restart after they are installed, then go through a configuring process before the PC starts, then the PC starts and the updates are again configured.
