The fastest boot time for Windows 7 is only 11 seconds!

For those who have been using Windows XP for a long time, the performance improvements that Windows 7 brings may surprise them. On Wednesday, Microsoft demonstrated Windows 7 on a machine equipped with an Intel Core i7 processor and an SSD hard drive. In this demonstration, Windows 7 took only 11 seconds to complete the boot process!

Admittedly, this demonstration is used in more high-end configuration, but these high-end configuration is not the only factor to improve the startup speed of Windows7. According to Microsoft senior manager Ruston Panabaker, in Windows 7, part of the boot process is designed to be executed in parallel in multiple processor cores, and can take advantage of Intel's Hyper-Threading technology to achieve greater parallelism

In addition, in the enhancement of the power-saving performance of Windows 7, Microsoft also refers to the data provided by Intel's next-generation processor to ensure that these processors run better when running Windows 7. To this end, Microsoft also removed the "thread lock" function in Windows 7 that may cause system stuck, and Intel also made the thread in the processor to allow the thread to be preferentially assigned to the idle core, and let the idle core A design that can be completely shut down without a task. In order to fully improve the power saving performance of Windows7 system, Microsoft has also put a lot of effort into software and drivers.

According to Panabaker, Microsoft will list all hardware lists that are not compatible with Windows 7 in a Knowledge Base article. However, we don't know when this article will be announced, but believe the time. It should be scheduled before the official release of Windows 7. He also claimed that Microsoft will open an official community related to Windows7 to help users solve problems in Windows 7 and improve Windows 7.
