Windows 8 more efficient than Win 7

As more and more news on the latest  and yet to release OS come on pouring , we are anxious about what all new adds the new OS can bring to make our life even more easier.The latest info says that Window * will consume less memory when compared to Win 7.A screenshot shows Windows 8 being set to consume just 281 MB as compared to Windows 7’s 404 MB in similar conditions - that’s more than a 40 percent drop in memory consumption on an idle mode.



The demo system was running both operating systems with just 1GB of memory.As the development is yet to finish we cannot exactly say how much efficient it will be and what performance it can deliver.
MS has tried to cut down the redundant information storage as in registry as well as temp files.Another change being made is to the way services are initialized when Windows boots. Services will be started when needed, left on an idle mode for a while after the task is completed and then terminate. Some non-critical services will not be loaded during startup.While using the Metro interface, only essential components of the OS will be loaded.In this way there is better prioritization of resources which means less important programs will not idle in the memory for too long.
