Windows 7 64bit Ultimate is very slow on mechanical drives, and even slower on laptop type with typical 15ms random access time. This is my old mans computer. It is sad Windows 7 needs ram type harddisk speeds to be useful, but I guess Microsoft want to bloat Windows down so you are forced to buy new computer. They sell more OS licenses that way. I dual boot with XP on my own, the same programs stored on the same partition, i.e D:\Prografile\Thumbs Plus, takes twice as long time to launch than in Windows 7. I also hear my raptor drives seek noise is less busy, indicating Windows 7 inserting a NOOP command between every HD IO operation or something :) I'm I hope to post a new video showing that in the near future.
