As many of you know (those that keep up with it anyway) Microsoft has released beta versions of it new to come operating system (OS). This next one will be the second OS since XP (released 8 thats rite 8 years ago). Now as a geek I try my best to keep up with the news and no matter how much I wished it, it just dose not seem like good news will come any time soon. From what I have read windows 7 is off to a bit a “hmm” start. It is doing better than Vista but, yea its still getting its ass raped by XP. You don’t have to listen to me but I think you should listen to the guys that actually did all the testing. The image below is a screen grab from engadget. i used a screen grab in case the article is archived. But this is the link anyway. Windows 7 put up against Vista and XP in hardcore multicore benchmarks, XP wins - Engadget

There are multiple test going around and some are more extensive than others. But the results dont lie. Unless some one altered them. This next link is a summery that is EZ to read. Windows on multi core test results.
