Windows 7 passes Intel tests with flying colours
Intel says that Windows 7 beats XP on all counts, and will be rolled out enterprise-wide by the beginning of 2010.

Intel has said that 97 per cent of its Windows 7 test community would recommend it to their colleagues.
The chip giant made the claims following a three-month evaluation with its employees.
The company will also begin enterprise deployment of Windows 7 to replace Windows XP on its business PCs and laptops with Intel vPro technology from the beginning of next year.
Intel collaborated with Microsoft to perform tests of the Windows 7 beta, a full version of which will be released to the public later this month.
The results of the tests were positive, with Intel deciding that it would "improve employee productivity, deliver IT cost efficiencies, and improve manageability and security".
Windows 7 beat existing Windows XP technology in performance, power consumption and stability, even though Intel's tests made use of the beta version.
The only issues that Intel had with Windows 7 was based on OS performance and user account control, but the chipmaker said this was due to a lack of understanding rather than a problem with the technology.

Intel said in a brief: "The new user account controls improve security but cause some confusion among users. This could easily be addressed through user education."
