Well the rule of thumb is the larger the source code, the slower it
runs. So if Win7 actually runs faster than XP, it would be a shift from
the norm. Of course, the computer language also makes a big difference.
The fastest one known is assembly language. Although is is very hard to
program under assembly and very hard to debug. Thus rarely used for
anything anymore.

Speaking about prior OSs, I am liking this Windows 2000 very much on
this EeePC. Virtually anything I can do under XP, I can also do under
2000 with half of the RAM. As far as Windows 98SE, I'll let you know if
I try to get that installed on one of these EeePCs. lol
