Windows 7 Startup Time
In this test, we measure the time it takes Windows 7 to boot from kernel start-up to the execution of start-up programs. An internal kernel timer keeps track of the time and is, for example, more accurate than a stop watch.
Office 2010 Installation
We installed Microsoft Office 2010 using the standard installation without any customizations. The installation source files were located in uncompressed form on the tested drive.
