Windows 7 – correction
In the previous post I wrote, that there are some some strange behaviours concerning Windows7 performance. Although, it seems that it wasn’t Windows7’s fault. Performance drop was caused by antivirus software (yes, the real-time protection was enabled). My desktop hardware that I use as a test machine seem to be very, very weak for nowadays apps, so running antivirus caused big difference in performance. Turning it off, mad all the problems with "application takes a lot of time to start" to disappear. But I still have the impression that Windows7 was much faster at the very beginning (right after installation was complete) and its performance dropped after installing a few applications (and applying some Windows Updates).
