I am testing it right now, not much different. The only thing that I have seen is that windows update responds a little quicker. If they really want to get everything efficient try tweaking out the code, and make it run less ram instead of more when setting idle. Make the booting up and shutting down more efficient also. It still needs work, alot of work in my opinion.

440 bug fixes!! Lmao, and this is still a baby stage of an OS. And how long has Microsoft been programming OS for?? And after all these years, they still can't get it right lol. Might I suggest to Microsoft that before they release windows 7, that they release the first 4 or 5 service packs first hahaha.
