Windows 7 pre-installed on your computer along with its accompanying set of applications can run much longer than the system installed without any additives. In extreme cases, the software "crapware" (system tools, trial versions, etc.) increases the start-up Windows 7 for 2 minutes. It follows as a series of tests conducted by PC Pro magazine editors. They studied the speed of running Windows 7 notebooks in nine companies Acer, Apple, Asus, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Samsung, Sony and Toshiba.
Test machines are: Acer Aspire 5536, MacBook Pro 13 ", Asus K50, Dell Inspiron 1525, HP Pavilion DV6, Lenovo ThinkPad R500, the Sony VAIO VGN-NS30E / S, Toshiba Satellite A350D-202. The test procedure consisted of the statement start time, memory usage and performance benchmarks 2D machines with Windows 7 as a producer (with accessories) with machines where the drive was installed the same OS.
Test results proved to be most detrimental to the Acer and Sony machines. In the case of Windows 7 Acer loaded crapware to run a total of 2 minutes and 44 seconds, more than 2 minutes longer than the pure version of the "sevens". Unnecessary applications running in boot time consuming over 950 MB of RAM, occupying nearly 2.4 GB of disk space.
The Sony notebook running times were 3 min, respectively. 17 s and 1 min. 23 sec - the difference turned out to be less so than in Acer, in turn, was greater memory consumption - 1,11 GB. A value of 1 GB of unnecessary additives consumed by the system memory was also exceeded in the HP and Dell notebooks. The test machine, Dell also noted that crapware is as much as 3 gigabytes of disk space. Other manufacturers came out slightly better.
Eg crapware trial versions of antivirus software, simple games, multimedia applications (in Acer found to duplicate the functionality of the software Windows Media Center) and system utilities. The problem is not only the fact that a user buys a computer with software, which actually does not need (or involuntarily it has not installed, or choose other tools) but also the difficulty in removing crapware system. Many of these applications or offers no uninstall option in the Start menu or in Add / Remove Programs in Control Panel appear only their individual components, which makes the whole process to dispose of unwanted additives.

ICQ: --
However, whether a Windows PC comes with "crapware" or not, the user will be installing all sorts of 3rd party software that they do want (otherwise the computer has little value). Once the users do install the 3rd software they want to use (including virus protection), it will have the same effect as the 3rd party software they got rid of... slowing down your Windows PC.
Windows users have rated Windows 7 on how nicely it runs without any 3rd party software installed, but they don't talk about how sluggish their PC becomes after installing all of the software they need.
Users of computers running Linux and Mac OS X don't suffer the same degradation of their computers' performance after installing 3rd party software.
