Benchmarks Show Windows 7 Pre-Beta to be Bloated, With Compatibility Issues
@ 2008/11/13One key Windows 7 feature driven home again and again by Microsoft's Windows team is the superior system performance with respect to Vista. The team, at the recent Professional Developers Conference (PDC), showed off a netbook apparently running the OS smoothly, leading many to hope that their prayers of a smaller-footprint Microsoft OS had been answered.
Unfortunately, it seems the rosy picture painted by the development team at the WinHEC and PDC conferences might have been a bit overly optimistic. InfoWorld has done some extensive early testing on the pre-beta of Windows 7 and the results aren't very impressive in terms of improvement over Vista.

I also don't understand why people think a smaller windows kernel improves performance ... what they don't inlcude in the kernel will be available as a dll or service
As far as bugs go, yeah I'll wait until launch to see how that turns out.
