Microsoft Longhorn Performance Promises

Source article

At the the worldwide partner conference in Minneapolis, Microsoft has committed to some specific metrics around the improvements of Longhorn.

Amy Stephan, a senior product manager with the Windows client unit, outlined some of the various Longhorn "fundamentals," including systems management and deployment features, which Microsoft is readying.

The improvements:

launch applications 15 percent faster than Windows XP does

boot PCs 50 percent faster than they boot currently and will allow PCs to resume from standby in two seconds

allow users to patch systems with 50 percent fewer reboots required

reduce the number of system images required by 50 percent

enable companies to migrate users 75 percent faster than they can with existing versions of Windows.
