Early Speed Tests For Windows 8

That bodes well for Windows 8, considering at the early stage of Developer Preview—even before we've seen an actual beta—the nascent operating system is getting widespread praise for its performance, particularly in startup times. Anecdotal evidence is always encouraging, but PCMag decided to run some very early tests on the OS to see if the reports were wishful thinking or if there was a real, measurable boost in speed. Along with startup and shutdown times, they used several standard industry benchmarks to compare Windows 8 performance with that of Windows 7 running on the same machine."

Actually I thought the fastest way to speed up Windows 8.1 was to back up critical data, wipe the hard drive (or SSD) and install an operating system that wasn't built on a foundation of despair, failure, and illegal drugs.

Everyone just needs to quit bitching about windows 8. It's overall a cleaner operating system. People just don't like it because its "different". Everyone wants to live in their shell of no change. Download 8.1, use it for 2-4 weeks until you get used to it, and you'll like it.
