We are just few days away from the official BETA release of Windows 7 which will be released soon. BETA pack of Windows 7 is reportedly already leaked to torrents, and users loving this new OS even before the official release of BETA! Most of the Windows 7 users who are using the leaked BETA build are giving positive response about the performance of Windows 7 compared to XP and Vista.

Adrian Kingsley from ZDNet has tested the BETA build (build 6.1.7000.0.081212-1400) and the results are very impressive. Adrian Kingsley has tested the Windows 7 BETA build along with Windows XP SP3 and Vista to get the accurate results.

Adrian Kingsley tried to keep the testing results a bit more realistic and used both-low and high-end PCs. He jotted down many important things like boot time, shutdown time, average time to copy and move, network transfer speed, compress & extract time, OS install time and many more. A total of 23 factors were tested and Windows 7 emerged as a clear winner after outperforming XP & Vista in 21 real-world tests.

Meanwhile Windows 7 is still in BETA stage and we can expect more terrific improvements in coming days. Read on the entire article about the test at ZDNet.
