Windows 7 To Minimize OEM Software Performance Hit

Microsoft aims to deliver a better user experience for Windows 7 users by going as far as keeping a check on the performance hit and impact on startup time due to pre-installed OEM software. After the failure of Windows Vista, Microsoft is taking every measure to ensure that it doesn't repeat the same mistakes with Windows 7. A lot of effort goes into improving UI elements that we use everyday, such as the Start button and the taskbar.

Will Users Switch Over To Windows 7?

After Windows Vista was released, some users decided to take the leap and stayed on in the Vista camp while others were forced there as it was pre-installed on their computers. In either case, the most popular OS running on PCs today is Windows XP which according to NetApplications Market Share is 63.5%.
