Performance improvements
Nobody likes to wait. That's why we designed Windows 7 to be more nimble and always ready when you are. Key performance improvements include:
Sleep
Windows 7 is designed to sleep, resume, and reconnect to your wireless network more quickly.
Search
When hunting for something, you want answers, not delays. In Windows 7, search results pop up faster. Sorting and grouping of search results is also significantly quicker.
USB devices
When you plug in a portable flash drive or other USB device for the first time, Windows 7 can have it ready for you in seconds. If you've used it before, the wait's even shorter.
Leaner and less busy
Unlike its predecessors, Windows 7 is designed to run speed-sapping background services only when you need them. Not using a Bluetooth device? Then the Bluetooth service in Windows 7 stays off. Windows 7 is also less memory hungry than Windows Vista—another under-the-hood tune-up that can boost overall performance.
