Me unscientifically testing the boot and shutdown times of 4 operating systems running Microsoft Windows.
Tests done in Virtual PC 2007 under Windows Vista.
Screen recording (screencasting) software was not used to free additional system resources.
Done by a 14-year-old kid, so if you don’t like it, then that’s too bad.

I didn’t really make this video to tell people to use Windows 98. I made it to see if my RAM upgrade was working ok and to learn Adobe Premiere CS3 (I’ve only used 2.0 before). kthxbye
this is so not … this is so not accurate because one - you would need to use a separate computer per OS as it was meant to be for a genuine 98, and so on per OS. Running an emulator WITH VISTA is going to be uber slow.
your a fucking … your a fucking dumbshit dude rofl, you don’t know shit, thats prolly a dell or something, you want proof? go try and google boot time for xp, on a new computer with decent specs, boot time never takes that long. WHY WOULD I EVEN LIE ABOUT THIS, doesnt make sense. but google it n u’ll see.
An antivirus will … An antivirus will make it slower since it’ll add another process in the background.
Plus I already have 2.
It’s funny how comments like these are always from a person without any videos.
1, It’s not a Dell
… 1, It’s not a Dell
2, I asked about your boot times
3, Average boot time is 1:10
4, Make a video yourself showing your “Monster rig” booting in 10 seconds.
I run vista on my 5 … I run vista on my 5 year old HP Desktop, has 512 MB ram 80GB hard disk 2.6 Ghz Pentium 4 Processor and 256 ATI 50 bucks graphics card. Runs just fine. No problems. The guys who spread the rumors probably are to cheap or own macs lol.(Not saying the mac os is not good.)
I have vista … I have vista ultimate (on my laptop) and my boot time is about 40 to 50 seconds. my specs suck and they are just on the recomended vista ultimate settings but it stil runs more or less smoothly. these are my specs:
- AMD Sempron 3000+ (equal to abput 1.8 GHz)
- 1278 mb ram
- ATI Radeon X700
- 80 GB hard drive
I like Xp way … I like Xp way better than vista performance wise. to keep my computer up to date i got a blind on mine so it looks like Vista with icons toolbar and everything but is still good old XP.
I use Windows XP … I use Windows XP and Vista, configured as a dual-boot operating system. From my opinion XP is still good and the software compatibility is high, hardware compatibility is also good, but by this end of year i guess many hardware manufacturer will stop or slowdown their support on XP. Vista is also good if you have at least 2GB of ram, dual core processor, sata harddisk, a PCIE16 Display Card that has at least 256MB GDDR2 or GDDR3 and support DX10, that should be Nvidia 8600GT at least.
This sounds wack … This sounds wack but someone should build systems for 98 and 2000 to comapre em only since tons of people still use xp and build 2 computers hwat use the fastest specs from the end of that operating system being the newest out

Startup speeds are more caused by hard drive speeds, not so much ram.
