So Windows 7 is supposed to be screaming fast, right? Anecdotal accounts report it booting quicker and feeling snappier than Vista, but the proof is in stats. TuxRadar has benchmarked Windows 7 against Vista and Ubuntu Linux, comparing install time, disk space usage, boot speeds and filesystem performance. The graphs also show how the sparkly ext4 filesystem compares against its older brother.

My notebook is 2004 model. I could replace it, but why ? To run Vista or Win 7 ? I don't think I need that. The resources needed by an OS are very important for performance. Consider a possibility of running one or more virtual machines. If OS eats up all the resources VM's would crawl.
